About True Eyed Jack

True Eyed Jack builds software that respects where work actually happens. On the device in your hand, on the machine on your desk, and in the cloud when remote compute is actually worth the cost.

The bias is simple: local first, always intelligent. Use the latest tools when they help. Prefer local compute, storage, and control when they do the job better. Smaller risk surface, fewer surprises on bad Wi-Fi, and data that stays put unless you choose otherwise. Cloud is a tool in the kit, not a hammer that turns every problem into a nail.

The first product is TrueEyed Jack Video Compression. Practical video tooling for people who shoot, share, and ship media without wanting a science project. Compression runs entirely on your device. The app does not upload your videos to us or to a cloud we operate. Your media stays local unless you share or export it somewhere you choose. No account is required for core use. Details are in our Privacy Policy.

Video is not the whole studio. We publish open source when a tool is useful to someone besides us. You can read it, run it on your own machine, and look without creating an account. Other work stays in development until it is ready: it has to be useful, and it has to be careful with what leaves the device. More applications will follow.

Behind the brand are three decades of programming and two decades of data analysis, development, engineering, and architecture. That history is not a museum piece. It is why we care about boring virtues. Clear behavior, durable design, and software that still makes sense after the demo.

Most of the work shows up as products and public code. When it helps, True Eyed Jack also partners with others on programming and data projects. Same standards. No fog machine, and no slide deck that is vaporware in landscape mode. Catalog work is a typical job: take a public archive, say what is actually in it, and produce numbers you can use. Exoplanet analytics is one of those services. NASA exoplanet and stellar-host catalogs, classification, ranking, and derived maps.
