Room Noise Analyzer
Phone-based room-noise measurement with live relative level, frequency spectrum and band energy. Audio stays on your device.

From question
to working.
We build practical software, experiments and connected tools around real problems. Start small. Test the mechanism. Keep what works.

Public tools
Use something.
Pick a tool and try it. Each one is deliberately scoped around a real job instead of trying to become another giant app.
LIVE · FREE TO USE
Connection Tester
Browser-based connection measurements for latency, jitter, adaptive download and HTTP stability, with private on-device logs.
LIVE · FREE TO USE
Phenom
A personal laboratory for unusual experiences: separate observation from interpretation, record conditions and look for repeatable patterns.

Field Record
A local-first field journal for daily slips, Zener card trials, dreams and synchronicities. The Zener trial uses a shuffled 25-card deck and device cryptographic randomness, with running accuracy and z-score tracking.
FIELD PROTOTYPE
Contact Journal
Voice-first interaction logging for who, when, what, why and next. Local-first records, editable evidence, daily recap and portable backup/restore are being field-tested.
Newer memory work is still in development; this is shown honestly as a field prototype.
Source-release packaging is being prepared; the tools above are free to use now.
Experimental Assistant Platform
An assistant that can stay useful.
We are testing how an assistant can combine speech, visual evidence, confirmed memory and device interaction without pretending uncertainty is knowledge.
HearSpeech input with review and correction.
SeeReason over current visual evidence instead of substituting an older image.
RememberCarry confirmed facts and corrections forward with evidence boundaries.
Act carefullyPrepare useful actions while keeping consequential external actions behind approval.
Stable identity + learned relationship + contextual presentation. The goal is not to make an assistant imitate its user; it is to let it learn how to be itself with that user.
Experimental platform. Capabilities are tested incrementally; future capabilities are not represented as finished products. Internal architecture, prompts and implementation details remain private.
The workshop
Question → build → verify → harvest.
Big ideas start as small testable things. Failed tests are useful. Reusable parts move forward.
QUESTIONFind the actual friction.
BUILDMake the smallest honest version.
VERIFYTest it in the real environment.
HARVESTKeep the useful part and improve the process.
Some products we sell. Some tools we give away. Some code we open so other people can build with it. Choose the model that fits the thing.
For business owners
What annoying thing do you do over and over?
That is often where useful automation starts. We like the small, weird problems that do not justify buying another giant software suite: a repetitive handoff, a forgotten follow-up, a status board, a field note, a customer-facing display, or a workflow that should have been one button.
The first question is not “what app can we sell you?” It is “what should stop wasting your time?”
About
Build the missing piece.
Free Frequency is a small experimental technology workshop led by Shannon Bishop. The work spans practical browser tools, sensing, automation, unusual-experience research and assistant systems.
Free is there for more than one reason: free to use when that makes sense, open to experiment, free to repurpose useful hardware and ideas, and free to follow a question far enough to find out what is actually happening.
The human behind the squirrels
Shannon Bishop
I’m a builder and systems thinker from Midland, Michigan. My goal is to wake up more open-minded than I was yesterday—and willing to revise what I think I know.
I notice patterns and pull threads that others might overlook. I follow interesting questions wherever they lead: software, hardware, sound, strange ideas, practical problems and the occasional rabbit hole.
The goal isn’t certainty. It isn’t to find miracles. It’s to find mechanisms.
