MMT HQ
The museum your fantasy league deserves.
More to come.
New projects in active development.
The Craft
We don't "use AI to code faster."
We deploy agents that architect, implement, test, and ship on their own. The human handles vision, product instinct, and knowing when it's right.
AI-Native Development
Every product here was built end-to-end with agentic AI. Not copilots offering suggestions — autonomous agents handling architecture, code, testing, and deployment. The human decides what to build. The agents build it.
Mobile & Web
Native iOS apps on the App Store. Full-stack web platforms deployed to the cloud. Real products with real users — not prototypes collecting dust in a Notion doc.
Games
Competitive mobile games built for players who want a real challenge. Ranked play, real-time mechanics, and the satisfaction of actually winning against someone who was actually trying.
The Studio
Named Checkmate because every move is deliberate.
Checkmate Labs is a one-person software studio in Austin, TX — and yes, eight live products is the work of one person. That's only possible because every line is built with agentic AI. Not assisted. Not suggested. Built.
While other teams are still scheduling kickoffs, we've already shipped, iterated, and shipped again. Strategy first. Then execution. Then users. Then repeat.
Thoughtful Design
The right spacing, the right animation, the right feel. We care about the details because users notice when you don't.
Cloud-Native
Deployed from day one. Modern infrastructure, instant updates, built to scale without the ops headache.
Always Shipping
Rapid iteration, real CI/CD, and a bias toward doing over discussing. We ship fast, learn fast, and improve in the open.
