A one-person software studio in New York. Two products developed in-house, one live and one in beta. No client work, no roadmap requests. Just the work the operator wanted to make.
Matt Eastwood is a creative director with three decades inside global advertising agencies. One Trick Pony is the studio version of that career. Scaled down to one person and pointed at software.
The work today is the work that wouldn't shake out of his head: a calmer morning dashboard, in beta, and a news rewinder that walks you back to the start of any story, now live.
Both products are built and operated in-house. The studio doesn't take client work. One Trick Pony develops its own ideas, on its own schedule, for its own users.
One thing, done well, and again tomorrow. Skip the rest.
Daily Console is the screen I wanted to see at 7 a.m. and could not find. It consolidates calendar, weather, todos, and Oura Ring health data into a single morning view. Quiet, scannable, and unembellished. It is built for the first hour of the workday, not the last hour of the doomscroll.
Rewinds the news so you never feel lost.
Please Explain rewinds the news. One tap on today's headline walks you back through the chain of key moments that brought the story to where it is. Built for the commute, the classroom, and the moment you realize you missed three weeks of context. No ads, no autoplay, no algorithmic chase.
One Trick Pony builds its own products and doesn't take client work. But notes about Daily Console, Please Explain, beta access to Daily Console, or stories you'd like covered. Always welcome.
