SolveFor is an independent software studio building focused tools for the scarce human resources — energy, attention, and signal. Each product begins with a problem someone here has lived with firsthand, is checked against the relevant evidence, and is built with accuracy and restraint.
Philosophy
Modern work isn't bottlenecked by time or information. It's bottlenecked by the scarce human resources: energy — what you have left to spend; attention — what you can afford to give; and signal — what's actually worth it. SolveFor, LLC exists to design, build, and operate a small portfolio of products built to defend them — and to serve as the legal and support home for all of them. We build from the inside — tools shaped by direct, firsthand experience in the environments where they will be used — and every claim is held to one standard: show the evidence, or don't make the claim.
01
Every design decision traces back to primary literature, validated research, or direct domain experience. We do not ship on convention or aesthetic.
02
SolveFor is founder-led, and the founder has spent decades in demanding, time-critical work. The problems we solve are problems we have lived with — not problems we interviewed someone about.
03
We build a small portfolio of focused tools and maintain them rigorously, rather than shipping broadly and moving on. Each product is a long-term commitment.
Applications
Three products. Three scarce resources.
An energy-management coaching app for high-functioning professionals. Reserve EMC pairs values-anchored AI coaching with recovery data from your wearable — sleep, heart-rate variability, activity load — to align daily decisions with what you have named as important. The operating thesis: energy, not time, is the binding constraint, and values, not urgency, set the direction. All personal content is stored on-device and encrypted; no health data is stored on SolveFor's servers.
getreserveapp.comThe off-switch for doomscrolling. NewsMute watches world events around the clock and sends a text only when something genuinely historic happens — so silence means you can stay disconnected with confidence. Silence the noise. Protect your attention.
newsmute.comAI-powered analysis for any text, URL, file, or video. Apply curated expert prompts to extract signal from noise — summaries, critical appraisal, insights, and more. Access by invitation.
Team
Founder & Lead Engineer
SolveFor is a one-person studio, deliberately. The founder has spent more than two decades working in high-stakes, time-critical environments, with a parallel background in software engineering, and leads product, design, and engineering across the full portfolio. The operating constraints are simple: a small surface area, long-term maintenance over rapid shipping, and no claim published without checking it against the relevant primary literature first.
