Early access
The first thread is live.
Gather your pieces, we’ll sort them out.
Gather is out of the workshop and in early access with real families, on any screen in the house with a browser. Schedules merge, chores become an economy, and every evening ends with tomorrow already sorted.
One calendar, finally.
Paste a calendar link from Google, iCloud, or Outlook and everyone’s week lands in one place.
Chores become an economy.
Quests earn points, points become allowance, split across Give, Save, and Spend jars kids manage themselves.
Tomorrow, at a glance.
Every evening, each family member gets a brief: the schedule, what’s for dinner, and what’s theirs to do.
Free for up to 4 family members · Gather Plus $9.99/mo or $79/yr · 14-day trial

The Wall
The family calendar as an ambient display for any screen in the house, the TV included, with a pinch to dive from the month to the hour.
Most software is happy to move information from one place to another.
What almost none of it does is preserve the context in which that information was first meaningful: the why behind the what, the origin behind the outcome, the conversation behind the decision.
We build tools that close that gap.
Three ventures. One thesis.
Concept
Vectra
The universal systems design space
A three-dimensional canvas for problems that refuse to be flat. Map processes onto spheres. Extrude plans along a time axis. Twist, stretch, and fold abstract systems to see what your flowchart was hiding. For systems thinkers, not just developers.

Gather
The Digital Family Table
A family management platform where the calendar, the kitchen, the chore board, and the family bank live at one table, and every conversation stays attached to the thing it was actually about. In early access with real families at gather.guru.

The next decade of software progress isn’t going to come from better features. It’s going to come from a refusal to let context be lost.
About
I’m Brian Alan Franco. I run GaleFranco Labs as a solo builder: three products, one thesis, working in the open.
I’ve spent the last few years noticing that the hardest problems in software aren’t feature problems. They’re forgetting problems. Systems that lose context in the handoff. Tools that flatten the dimensions you actually need to think in. Apps that let a family’s decisions get detached from the reasons they were made.
GaleFranco Labs is my attempt to build the opposite: tools where context is a first-class citizen, not something to bolt on afterward. I’m building in three different domains on purpose, because the argument is stronger if it survives translation across all three.
If any of this resonates, I’d love to hear from you.
