Open alpha
§01 - featuredcircadiaopen alphaweb
A sleep log for bodies that don't run on a 24-hour clock.
Not every sleep log is built for rhythms that drift past a 24-hour day. Circadia is Dayah's answer: it takes the pattern you actually have, finds your real drift, and forecasts the next window instead of pretending you will fall asleep at eleven.

§02 - products
In the workshop.
Circadia leads, with Talons close behind; the rest splits into launchable apps, active prototypes, and substrates O+K is dogfooding before offering outward.

§03 - labs
Experiments.
Pre-MVP tools still finding their shape. Substrate work with live API or operator surfaces stays in the workshop above; Labs is for experiments that are not launchable yet.
§04 - journal
From the journal.
Working notes on the tools and the science behind them.
§05 - services
Websites, software, and systems for your business.
O+K builds websites, repairs software, automates repetitive work, and connects the tools you already use. Explore selected work, then tell us what you need.
- Websites — new sites and rebuilds that load fast and are easy to update.
- Repair — broken forms, failing integrations, slow or outdated pages.
- Automation — the repetitive steps between your inbox, spreadsheets and tools.
- Integration — connect the systems you already use so data stops being retyped.
- AI and agents — put AI models to work on a defined task in your workflow, scoped like any other job.
Every engagement starts with a short scoping note: what we'll do, how we'll know it worked, and where it stops — before any work begins.

§07 - questions
Questions we get.
01
What is Owl + Kestrel?
A two-person software workshop and estate shell. Jon builds software and infrastructure; Dayah builds Circadia and tools for bodies and rhythms that do not fit the default template. O+K is also the first customer for family products like Nest, Chirp, Plumage, Pigment, and Quill; Quill's standalone source MVP combines social notes, longform publishing, and optional verified history.
02
Can I hire Owl + Kestrel?
Yes. O+K offers websites, software repair, automation, integrations, and AI and agent work as scoped services. See Services for details, selected work, and a project inquiry. Products have their own use, download, or purchase paths; check each product for availability and required setup.
03
Are the apps free?
Pricing and access are product-specific. The portfolio is moving toward a meaningful free starting point with self-service paid upgrades; Circadia is in open alpha, Talons is free during its alpha, and several substrates are still being prepared for that public product path.
04
How do I keep up with new things?

05
Why Owl + Kestrel?
It is the two of us: a nocturnal systems-builder and a sharp-eyed product builder. One small workshop, two sets of projects.
