Software · a division of HLLMR Ventures LLC
Independent software and engineering projects from HLLMR. Each one says plainly whether you can use it today, whether it is still being built, or whether it is still being designed.
Available
Each has a public release or public source, and its license is stated.
A governance method for building software with AI agents.
A human ratifies intent, work is dispatched one bounded unit at a time with an explicit capability grant, a separate review checks the result against the record, and every enforcement layer is birth-tested before it is trusted. Public, with its full pilot log, including the measurements that went the wrong way.
An audio analysis engine in Rust, published on crates.io.
BPM detection, key detection and beat tracking for DJ applications, and the engine behind Stratum. The same preference for tools that behave identically on every run, in a different domain.
Small open-source tools for teams running AI agents.
openrouter-media, an MCP server that gives agents image and video generation as tools, and paperclip-spend-guard, a plugin that gives an agent workforce cost visibility and budget guardrails on metered models. Both early.
In development
Usable in part or in preview, and still changing.
A deterministic parser for construction drawings and specifications.
It reads a drawing set and a spec book the same way every time, with no model in the loop, because a document-control pipeline cannot rest on a component that guesses.
A check on AI agents' claims that a change works.
Curia sends a reviewer whose job is to refute a change by running commands against the real system, not by reading the diff, and returns confirmed, refuted or unverified. An early public version is out under a noncommercial license; it is not yet packaged for other projects.
Research
Nothing released yet, and no dates promised.
A DJ software platform for library management and set preparation.
In design. A desktop library app exists in private development, paused since December 2025, and Stratum DSP is its published engine. No release date.
Personal finance for people with a day job and a side business.
In design, including a scenario engine for testing financial decisions before making them. Nothing released.
Looking for Silo? It lives under HLLMR GAMING.
Approach
AI makes development faster. It doesn't excuse missing tests, unclear ownership or claims nobody checked. Every release here is checked against its own evidence before it ships, and every one can be rolled back.
The method is public as Writwall, and the reasoning behind it is in the essay Document control for AI-assisted development.
For the open-source projects, issues on GitHub are welcome too. For anything else, one address reaches a person.
