Open-Source Creator Tools, DIY Builds and Fictional Worlds,
Praecursor Labs builds open-source front-end apps & tools, DIY builds and experiments ,and develops the Pyros universe.
Open where possible, practical where needed.
Explore Pyros
Co-founded by Branden & Breanna Barnes.
Front-end open source; back-ends proprietary.
What’s live right now
- Open-source tools: apps, utilities, templates, releases
- Pyros: lore panels, tech pages, and animation development
Focused right now
Lower-overhead, high-leverage work: software tools + Pyros content + mobile game development
Apps & Tools (Open Source)
Front-end apps, utilities, templates, and creator-friendly downloads.
Pyros Universe
Lore panels, tech/spec pages, and animated series development.
PL Creators Suite
The main build: a connected suite of creator tools where the front end is open source and the
back end is proprietary. It ties into Pyros and future OS work.
- Ship steady open-source tools while the suite is built
- Release the mobile game during development (Pyros universe)
- After: desktop suite + start custom Linux-based desktop + AR/VR OS work
Hardware R&D + limited drops
Hardware kits and custom devices are on hold due to overhead. Once profits and audience scale make it realistic,
we’ll begin limited-run builds and deeper R&D.
- Praecal modular drone (first major device line)
- AR glove prototypes (iterate versions hands-on)
- Kits/custom hardware drops when production capacity matches demand
- Pyros hardware experiments (when the time is right)
Pyros Universe
A sci-fi sandbox for speculative R&D, lore, and tech pages that inform real builds.
Featured threads
- Plasma Racetrack Generator
- Subdermal bioelectric arrays (concept)
- Energy harvesting gloves & exosuit ideas
