justsparx digital innovation lab / signal suite
Ten instruments for capturing, organizing, and executing ideas. JSON-portable. Locally hosted. Yours to keep.
Instruments
Build structured outlines with drag-and-drop reordering. Four node types, open metadata per entry, full JSON export. Feed it to an AI or a pipeline — it doesn't care.
A structured note system. Tagging and title search, metadata for pipeline creation and workflows. Your data deserves more than just an email. Context is king.
A structured research journal. Five entry types, signal-strength ratings, 14-day activity tracking. For observations, hypotheses, discoveries, anomalies, and questions worth keeping.
User-defined asset types with custom fields, universal status tracking, and location registry. Define what you track — hardware, software, consumables, anything. Self-describing JSON — the file explains itself to any interpreter.
Barcode-scanner driven supply reorder tracking. Scan shelf tags to flag items, view a vendor-grouped reorder list, mark ordered and received. Print or export CSV for ordering. Built for real office workflows.
Manage everything that happens regularly — bills, subscriptions, appointments, maintenance, check-ins. Chronological view, time horizon filters, expense and income metadata for interpreter-driven cost analysis.
Low-friction project and task tracking with status, priority, tags, notes, and links. Dark mode. Hide-done filter. Import and export JSON to share lists or augment with external tools.
Phase-based project management with dependency tracking, time estimates, milestone gates, and live timeline math. Contacts and notes live in metadata. Built for distributed teams.
Contacts, interaction logs, and billable time tracking in one place. Itemized billing reports per contact, rate multipliers for per-job discounts, Clock In for live time capture. JSON export for invoicing pipelines.
Self-hosted persistent storage and orchestration layer for the Signal Suite. Spanning auth, account-level data persistence across all tools, and API access for interpreter pipelines. Roll-your-own cloud.
Philosophy
Every tool speaks the same language. Export from one, import to another, hand it to an AI pipeline, or archive it flat. The data is always yours and always readable.
Self-hosted on lab infrastructure. No third-party accounts, no subscription fees, no data leaving the building. FOSS philosophy — build it, own it, keep it.
Each tool does one thing and resists the urge to do more. The friction that gets removed is the friction that was never supposed to be there.
The JSON schema is the API. Feed any document to a local model, an n8n pipeline, or a custom interpreter. The tools are the interface — the format is the protocol.
