Hollow Oak Labs

Independent software & data studio

Quiet tools for useful information.

Hollow Oak Labs is a small, independent studio building automated tools and information products from public data. Software that does its work in the background and reports back plainly.

Early days. Experiments underway.

Focus areas

What we build

Three areas we work in. Each starts as a small experiment, and we only share something once it’s genuinely useful.

  1. Digests & alerts

    Automated summaries drawn from public sources. They watch for the changes that matter and deliver them on a steady, predictable schedule.

  2. Focused web tools

    Small, single-purpose utilities that do one job well. Fast to load, simple to use, and free of clutter.

  3. Clean datasets

    Public information gathered, cleaned, documented, and structured so it’s ready to work with.

How we work

Principles

A short list of commitments we hold ourselves to.

Public and licensed data only
We build from public records and sources we have the right to use, and we’re clear about where information comes from.
Privacy-respecting
We collect only what a tool needs in order to work. Personal information is never sold.
No tracking
This site sets no cookies, runs no analytics, and loads nothing from third parties.
Plain-spoken
Clear language, honest limits, no hype. When something is an experiment, we call it one.

Small on purpose. Built carefully, one useful thing at a time.

Hollow Oak Labs is in its early days. Work will appear here as it’s ready.
