Synodic Studio is a one-person software shop in Boulder, Colorado, run by Adrien Lipari.
The studio runs headless, with no laptop in the loop. A Mac Mini in another room does the builds, tests, deployments, and AI work. I drive it from an iPhone and iPad over Blink and Telegram, with screen sharing kept in reserve for emergencies. Whatever cannot be driven from a phone gets automated until it can. For the architecture writeup, see Running a software studio from a phone.
The work splits in two: Apple-platform products (shipped iOS apps and Metal-powered macOS museum exhibits) and the open-source AI tooling I build around Claude Code to run all of it from a phone. The apps and AI tooling indexes have the full list, and the home page carries the highlights.
Availability
I am currently open to remote or Boulder-area IC roles at AI-native product and devtools companies, especially where Apple-platform depth, product taste, and hands-on AI tooling matter more than narrow stack specialization.
I am based in Boulder and interested in the local AI-native builder scene along the Boulder/Denver corridor: practical demos, agent workflows, devtools, and small teams using AI to attack old software categories.
