The prima materia of software
IliasterStudio
We build our own software, run it ourselves and sell it directly.
- Tallinn · Estonia
- Self-hosted · Sold worldwide
Owned products, shipped and running.
We make software for Apple platforms and the web, and we keep what we make. So far that is a way to use your Mac from your iPhone, per-app volume for the Mac, app templates you can restyle before you buy, and a tool that turns songs into guitar tabs. Each one is built, funded and run in-house.
SongToTab
Upload a song, get its chords and guitar tabs.
Software that earns its place.
Iliaster Studio sits between one person's judgment and the market. Each product is a self-contained asset, built to be useful, to last and to be sold directly. Automated harnesses handle the scaffolding, deploys, reviews and upkeep, so the decisions and the taste stay human.
The name
Paracelsus had a word for the first matter that everything condenses from: iliaster, from the Greek hyle, matter, and the Latin astrum, star. He held that every person carries a portion of it as their creative principle, the part that judges and chooses.
Each product is a separatio: one clear thing, drawn out of the whole and made to stand on its own.
Iliaster Studio is run by Kevin Erik Iin in Tallinn, Estonia.
One Mac mini runs the company.
Every site and service here runs on a single machine in Tallinn, behind a Cloudflare tunnel, with media served from a CDN. Health checks, restarts, deploys and alerts run on their own, so the hours go into the products.

By enquiry only. Have something worth building?
We take on a small number of outside projects: native apps for Apple platforms, web products and the systems that keep them running. Send a short brief, or just say hello.
