Live Sleepy Whisper
The video never leaves your two phones, because there is no server for it to go to.

Apps, websites, hardware · Philippines
Built for tayo.
Filipino has two words for "we". We picked the one that includes you.
- kami
- we, but not you
- tayo
- we, and you are in it
Ordinary problems, the ones nobody has gotten around to. Somebody's queue, somebody's parcel, a shop that customers cannot find. We sit with one until we understand it, then build whatever makes it stop being a problem.
tayo + io
The io in TAIO means input and output.
That is also how we work.
You bring an idea in one end and a working thing comes out the other. Sometimes that is an app, sometimes a website, and once it was a wall of parcel lockers. We have been running it since 2018, for other people's ideas and for our own, so we have a fair idea of what it takes.
-
Input
Your idea, however rough. A sketch, a spreadsheet, or just a problem you keep working around.
-
We talk it through
What it is, who it is for, and the smallest version that would already help somebody.
-
We build it
Apps, websites, live video, even hardware. You see it working as it goes, rather than at the end.
-
Output
Something people use. Running, looked after, and yours to keep.
Some of what we have built
Live 
2020–2022 Beehive Smart Lockers
Took package handling off the front desk, back when nobody wanted to hand anything to anybody.
Case study →
In renovation
TrainsPh
Let commuters see what the platform was like before leaving the house, because the commuters already there said so.
2019 Rebuilding Case study →
In development Sunshine Farm PH
Built so donations turn into wages for people with disabilities. The site funds the farm, the farm funds the jobs.
2024 Case study →
Some of what we build stays private at the client's request.
Have a go yourself
It only seems fair that we let you try some of what we build. These are the real thing, running in this page. Type in them, click them, poke around.

Access code
482 019
In the app this changes every 5 minutes. We sped it up to 10 seconds so you can watch it.
Type that address into any browser on your own phone. There is nothing to install on the second one.
- 0 accounts
- 0 servers in the path
- 2 phones, paired before either can watch
A neighbour on your Wi-Fi cannot open your nursery. The phones have to be paired first, and by now the code above has already changed.
Beehive Smart Lockers
Took package handling off the front desk, back when nobody wanted to hand anything to anybody.
More about this one →Go on, click a door.
Nothing waiting. The front desk has nothing to hold on to, sort out, or hand over.
TranspoPh
Turns a vague worry about what a trip will cost into a number you can plan around.
