Product studio

We build connected products that do one thing, brilliantly.

Egghead Labs designs and ships small, useful, connected devices, all the way from the electronics and radio to the app and the cloud behind them. We make the kind of product you can hand to your grandmother and it just works. A studio our size could not have done this five years ago. AI changed what a small team can build.

What we do

The whole stack, under one roof.

Most connected products fail in the seams between hardware, firmware, and software. We own all three, so the product feels like one thing instead of three.

Hardware

Industrial design, electronics, and low-power and energy-harvesting wireless. From a sketch to a product our manufacturing partners can build at scale.

Firmware & radio

BLE, EnOcean, sub-GHz, WiFi, and cellular. The embedded and protocol work that decides whether a device feels reliable or flaky.

App & cloud

iOS, Android, and web from one codebase, plus the backend, alerts, and integrations that turn a sensor into something people trust.

Selected work

A family of products that do one job.

We build our own products and partner with teams who need a connected device shipped properly. The ones below are not concepts. They have their own storefronts, and you can buy them today.

Family & careTextMeButton Shipping

A single button that texts the people you love. One press, one message, no app to learn.

textmebutton.com Health & safetyDailyDoseBox Shipping

A pill box that watches for the daily check-in and reaches the family if it is missed. Honest by design: it reports that the box was opened, never that a dose was taken. Provisional patent filed 2026.

dailydosebox.com IT & infrastructureOneClickReboot Live

Remote power-cycling for managed networks and unattended sites, with an API and a simple dashboard.

oneclickreboot.com RV, van & overlandRVLightSwitch Shipping

A kinetic switch and dimmer kit that adds a light switch anywhere in an RV, boat, or van build without opening a wall or running wire. Also sold as VanLifeSwitch.

Building & energyEmbedded & gateway work

Energy-harvesting switches, BACnet and protocol gateways, and the firmware that bridges old building systems to modern software.

Operations & workflowProcess automation

The unglamorous software a business actually runs on: document intake and routing, approval workflows, marking and labeling automation, traceability, production and labor planning, and dashboards built on the systems already in place.

How the work changed

AI moved the bottleneck. It did not move the hard part.

Engineering used to be gated by how fast a person could read a datasheet, write the boilerplate, and keep the docs from rotting. That gate is gone. What is left is the part that was always hard: knowing what to build, and knowing when a device is actually trustworthy. The same shift is running through the factory floor and the back office, not just the prototype bench.

01
Prototypes in days
Firmware, an app, and a working demo can exist before the first boards come back from assembly. We argue with a real prototype instead of a spec document, which means the expensive mistakes get found while they are still cheap.
02
The datasheet is no longer the wall
Protocol stacks, register maps, and vendor SDKs used to be weeks of reading before anything moved. Now that reading is fast, and the schedule is set by physics and manufacturing rather than by how long it takes an engineer to get up to speed.
03
A small team with a full team's reach
We run specialist AI agents for firmware, radio protocols, QA, and project management, and they carry the volume. A human still owns every decision, and nothing ships that a person has not put their name on.
04
The judgment stays human
A model will not tell you the enclosure cannot be molded, that the radio will drop packets inside a steel building, or that the feature you love is the one confusing your user. Hardware still answers to the real world, and someone has to have held the thing.
05
We build for it, too
The same shift is coming for the products themselves. We design clean APIs, readable interfaces, and documentation a model can actually use, so what we hand you is ready for the tools your team will be using next year.
It does not stop at the prototype

A product is only half of it. The line that builds it and the numbers the plant runs on are software problems now, and they are the ones nobody had time for before.

06
We build the factory, not just the part
Marking and labeling jobs driven straight from part data instead of a technician retyping a file. Traceability that survives the shop floor. Production and labor planning that a supervisor can actually keep current. The automation that used to be too small to justify a software project now takes an afternoon.
07
Processes that stay true
A procedure used to be a document somebody wrote once and nobody reread. We build them from how the job is really done, run every one past a reviewer before it ships, and update them when the process moves. An out of date SOP is worse than no SOP.
08
Handoff packages, not tribal knowledge
Everything a manufacturing partner needs to quote and build a part, assembled the same way every time, instead of living in one engineer's head and three email threads. The same discipline applies to what we hand a client at the end of a project.
And most of it never touches a shop floor

Every business runs on work that arrives as a document, waits for a person to read it, gets retyped into another system, and waits again. A mortgage application. A purchase order. An insurance claim, a permit, an RFQ, an onboarding packet. The queue is almost never the decision. It is the handling.

09
The file moves itself
Reading what came in, pulling out the fields that matter, checking it against the rules, and routing it to the right desk is exactly what this technology is good at. A mortgage file that sat three days waiting for someone to open it can be sorted, validated, and queued before the applicant closes the browser tab.
10
Exceptions get a person, the rest does not
The goal is never to approve the loan automatically. It is to clear the clean files so your experienced people spend the whole day on the ones that genuinely need a human, and to be certain the system knows which is which.
11
Every step leaves a trail
In regulated work, an answer without a reason is worthless. We log what was read, which rule fired, what was flagged, and who signed off, so the process holds up to an auditor and a person can always see why the system did what it did.
12
Numbers you can act on
Dashboards that pull from the systems already running the business, so a team is arguing about what to do next instead of arguing about whose spreadsheet is right.
How we work

A few things we believe.

01
One job, done well
The best devices do a single thing so well you forget the technology is there. We cut features to protect the one that matters.
02
Honest by default
We never let a product claim something it cannot actually know. If a device loses contact, it says so, it does not guess and call it good.
03
Ship, then sharpen
We get real hardware into real hands early and let reality, not a spec sheet, tell us what to fix next.
04
Built to be handed off
Typed code, tests, and clear docs, so a team can own what we build long after we are gone.
The company

Egghead Labs, Inc.

A studio is easy to claim and hard to verify, so here is the paperwork. Everything below can be checked without asking us.

Legal entity
Egghead Labs, Inc., a registered corporation. Not a trade name, not a side project.
Products taking orders
DailyDoseBox, TextMeButton, RVLightSwitch and VanLifeSwitch, and HR Violation Cards. Each has its own storefront and its own checkout.
Carrier registration
Egghead Labs, Inc. is the registered sender behind the text messages our products send, verified with the US mobile carriers. That registration requires a real business identity, and it is why a device we build can text a family member at all.
Intellectual property
Provisional patent filed in 2026 on the DailyDoseBox check-in system.
Client work
We also work as a contracted development team, under our own agreement and invoicing, for companies that need hardware, firmware, or cloud work they cannot staff internally. Client names on request, with their permission.
Who answers
An engineer, at the address below. There is no contact form and no queue.
Founder
Jared Eggett

Twenty years in product development, most of it around kinetic energy-harvesting wireless switches. He has carried products from a sketch through tooling and into production at a manufacturing partner, which is why this studio talks about factory tooling and SOPs as much as it talks about firmware.
