We're building TableWork because service businesses deserve software built for them.

Sovyren is a one-person R&D lab founded by Austin Johnnic in Naperville, IL. We build applied AI systems and software for businesses that run on schedules, invoices, and customer relationships. TableWork is our current product — and it's the one we think matters most.

Before TableWork, we built earlier products aimed at field service and operations management. Each taught us something about what operators actually need versus what the software industry assumes they want. The lesson: most service-business software is designed for the software buyer, not the person running a crew of four at 6am.

TableWork started with a simple observation: the same three tools keep showing up in every service business — a scheduling tool, an invoicing tool, and something for customer communication. They're almost never integrated. The operator copies data between them. The technician uses one app. The accountant uses another. The customer gets a mix of confirmations from different systems. We built TableWork to be all three in one workspace, with an AI interface that lets you skip the forms entirely when you know what you want to do.

The team

TableWork is built by Austin Johnnic. The platform is engineered, designed, and supported by one person. That's a deliberate choice while we find product-market fit, and it informs every decision — from why we kept the pricing tiers wide to why we self-host on a Mac Pro rather than a $3,000/month cloud database cluster.

The plan is to expand the team as TableWork finds its customers. Engineering will come first, then support, then product. We'll hire slowly and deliberately.

What we won't do

We won't sell your data. The business model is subscriptions. Your customer records, appointment history, financial data, and message history are yours. We access them to run the product. We don't sell, rent, or analyze them for any purpose other than running TableWork for your workspace.

We won't pivot to enterprise-only and leave small operators behind. The Solo and Pro plans exist because one-person businesses are real businesses. We're not going to raise a round, add an enterprise sales team, and quietly move the good features to the $500/month tier.

We won't run a bait-and-switch free tier that funds itself on data sales. The Free tier is real: Atlas Core, one operator seat, no card, no time limit. It is genuinely useful for a solo operator who only needs scheduling. The 14-day trial starts you with a fuller setup so you can see what paid modules add. Either way, your data is yours and paid modules are optional — you add them when they earn their cost.

Where we are

TableWork runs on a Mac Pro in Austin's office in Naperville, IL. Cloudflare handles CDN, DNS, and edge routing. R2 handles file storage and backup egress. The architecture is described in our security overview.
