FI FINLAB STUDIOS
The Workshop

Everything currently
on the bench.

A running list of what I've shipped and what's in progress. Every one of these started as a problem I had and ended as a tool I'm proud to run myself.

Radio · Monitoring ● Live

RebelDMR

Live hotspot dashboard

A neon-themed web dashboard that turns a DMR hotspot into a glanceable command center. System health, network links, and every caller across RF and network — updating in real time.

  • Live CPU, memory, disk and uptime monitoring
  • Internet, BM link, and BrandMeister ping status
  • Gateway + local RF activity with full caller detail
  • Built to read clearly on a wall display or phone

More on the way

On the bench now.

Social ● In Development

Karma

A social app for small groups — parties, get-togethers, the people you actually see. Built for tight, real communities, not follower counts.

Media ● In Development

Media Finder

You have 100,000 photos and videos. Type what you remember and get the right ones back — no file naming, no folder digging.

Finance ● On Deck

Financial Guidance

A tool to help regular people manage debt and actually learn how money works — not another spreadsheet with a login.
