A small studio that builds the software it wishes existed.
Metric House started in 2026 as a software company built around Knowmad, a remote-work discovery app, and grew into a second product, Formulate, when we realized the surveys we needed didn't exist either.
That's the pattern. We notice a workflow that's quietly broken. The kind of thing people put up with because they think it's just how it is. We build the version we'd actually want to use and ship it.
01
Specific over general
Each product solves one problem well. We'd rather make Knowmad excellent than build a platform.
02
Quiet by default
No dark patterns, no growth-hacked notifications. The software gets out of your way.
03
Independent
Self-funded so we can move slow on the things worth getting right.
