A one-person studio + AI

We sniff out better software — and ship it.

SniffSafari Labs builds real, production apps by vibe coding with Claude. Three of them are live or on the way. We also bottled the method.

The studio
Built in retirement, by one human and one very capable AI — with the discipline of someone who shipped software for a living.

No team, no runway pressure, no committee. Just a clear method for turning ideas into tested, deployed, real apps — fast. "Vibe coding" with guardrails: brainstorm, spec, plan, test, ship.

A look inside Sommelier Snap

Never stare down a wine list again

You're at dinner, facing a huge wine list with names you don't know. Snap a photo — Sommelier Snap finds the wine you'll love, and gets smarter every time you use it.

About

Curiosity Unleashed.

SniffSafari Labs is a Massachusetts studio run by a retired tech exec who spent decades shipping customer-facing software — and now builds for the joy of it, with Claude as a co-founder.

Named for two labradoodles, Summit and River, who are very good at sniffing out what's interesting. We try to do the same with software.
