The studio
Solo · everythingCode, infrastructure, copy, design, support — all from one bench. Anonymous on purpose; the public GitHub trail is the resume.

A studio,
not a startup.
Icecompany is a small group of people who like building boring infrastructure. We make Iceslab, Icepath, Icecore and Iceshard - the four pieces of the Ice ecosystem.
Why this exists
The recurring
observation.
In late 2025 we kept reaching for tools that were already broken in the same way. The VPN panel forked from a fork from a fork. The anti-cheat that shipped a permanent driver. The native client that parsed any URL it found. Each one made the same trade — short-term ship velocity for long-term operator pain.
We thought we could do better on a small set of these. Not because we're smarter — because we're slower. A studio that ships four tools across three years can pay attention to each one in ways a startup chasing one product market fit can't.
«Most of what we publish is what we wished existed when we started.»
Who is here
One person.
For now.
Icecompany is a solo studio. The name isn't a team — it's the work. Trail is public on GitHub, the rest stays private.

Collaborators
Per-project · when neededFor scoped chunks — a design review, a security audit, a port to a new platform — we'll bring someone in and credit them on the deliverable. Nobody on retainer right now.
Open to good fits
Operating principles
What stays cold,
even under pressure.
— 01
Respect the user's machine.
No always-on drivers, no scope creep, nothing that survives uninstall. The machine belongs to the user. We are a guest.
— 02
Ship boring infrastructure.
Networking software should be predictable, observable, recoverable. Excitement belongs in the product, not the plumbing.
— 03
Show the work, not the wrapper.
Roadmaps, postmortems, architecture notes — public by default. The most useful docs we write are for ourselves.
