Mindgulch LLC is a one-person software studio based in Billings, Montana, founded by Jacob Platt — an ICC-certified building inspector by day and a software developer the rest of the time.
The studio exists as a direct reaction to what's broken in the app ecosystem: forced ads, deceptive subscription traps, apps that don't do what they claim, and pricing designed to extract money before anyone notices. Every product that ships under Mindgulch or our game label Silicoyote is held to a simple standard — does what it says, priced honestly, no tricks.
The unfair advantage: a solo founder with real-world domain expertise in building inspection, code compliance, and mechanical systems — plus AI-accelerated development on tap. There's no ceiling here except time and effort.
