GONZO INC

Gonzo Inc

We're ideas people, and tech people.

Gonzo Inc is a development studio that designs and ships web, desktop and mobile applications for media and lifestyle — the tools people use to make things, watch things, go out, and unwind. We build the software behind the things people actually spend their time on, and get behind products with a real point of view: a verified home for street photography, a Mac app that cans a whole photo shoot before the gear's packed away, a ticketing platform built around who brought whom, a composition engine that writes you a soundscape for the hour you're actually having.

Every project below is a live, working product — not a mockup. That's the kind of studio this is: we build things, put them in front of real people, and keep building.

Six products, six different problems worth solving

A cross-section of what's currently live under Gonzo Inc — photography, live production, streaming, sound and events.

The Block homepage: 'Verified street and documentary photography — shot on real cameras, pinned to place and time. No AI, no phones.' Visit theblock.photos

theblock.photos

The Block is a verified home for street and documentary photography, built for photographers who shoot on real cameras rather than phones or AI. Every professional story carries a cryptographically signed Content Credential — provenance built on the open C2PA standard the camera industry, including Leica, is adopting. Photographers pin their work to the exact place and time it happened, keep journals, and see verified stories surface on Google Maps through a companion browser extension. The Block is currently in early access, opening progressively to its waitlist alongside a forthcoming iOS app.

BLOCK WORKS homepage: 'Cull, tag, and caption a shoot before you've finished packing up the gear.' Visit theblock.works

theblock.works

BLOCK WORKS is a desktop application that culls, tags and captions a full shoot before the gear is packed away. It runs entirely on the photographer's own Mac or Windows machine — no image is ever uploaded to process it. Blur, exposure, blink and near-duplicate detection are computed and shown rather than auto-deleted, with the photographer moving the thresholds while AI writes twenty-one metadata types into standard IPTC/XMP fields. It's measured on real hardware at 692 images culled a minute, and ships with a free 14-day trial.

Streamweaver homepage: 'Run it, listen to it, prove it. One wall.' Visit streamweaver.studio

streamweaver.studio

Streamweaver gives teams covering live events a single wall for every stream that matters — sixteen or more channels monitored, recorded and captioned at once, on one Mac. It listens across every tile for the words a comms team is watching for, and has the report ready before the client asks for it. Built for producers, comms monitors and analysts who currently do the same job with three separate tools, it tracks 300+ channels — inside YouTube's free API quota — without a single clip leaving the building. Streamweaver is in pre-release, currently open to a launch-email waitlist.

Hustle TV homepage: 'Your content. On a schedule. Live 24/7.' Visit hustletv.app

hustletv.app

Hustle TV is the desktop control room for streamers and channel owners who want a real linear channel, not another looped-playlist hack. From one Mac it can broadcast several complete, independent channels at once — each with its own identity, weekly schedule and destinations — drawing on one shared media vault so nothing has to be duplicated per channel. It pushes a single encode out to YouTube, Twitch, Rumble, Kick or a partner RTMP simultaneously, built for live operators, multi-platform streamers and niche channel owners building a 24/7 audience. It's free to try for 14 days on one channel, no card required.

Soundscaper homepage: 'A soundscape composed for the hour you're actually having.' Visit soundscaper.io

soundscaper.io

Soundscaper composes a soundscape for the next twenty minutes to eight hours, built fresh each time around what the listener actually needs — sleep, focus, meditation, grief or recovery. It's a composition system rather than a playlist: the listener states their state and context, and a session is assembled from a stack of seventeen techniques grounded in the music-therapy evidence base, each one named openly with what the evidence does and doesn't support. Eight support areas and five listening contexts are covered, with every session's methods shown rather than hidden behind a black box. Soundscaper, from Kenjin, is currently open for early access.

YRTKT homepage: 'Nobody arrives alone. Nobody runs it alone.' Visit yrtkt.app

yrtkt.app

YRTKT is a ticketing and guest-list platform built around the idea that nobody arrives at a night out alone, and nobody should have to run one alone either. Fans carry tickets, guest lists and perks on a single pass that keeps working even without signal, while friends who claim through a shared link earn the person who invited them real credit toward their next night out. For promoters, venues and agencies, one login covers sales and payouts in the console, with the door and bar scanning the same pass from an ordinary phone or tablet — no extra hardware, no separate integrations. YRTKT is currently running as a pilot with agencies, venues and promoters.
