2026

  1. Studio site overhaul

    Site

    Identity line, real timeline (this), app showcase mocks, per-tab hero, monogram. The site finally tells a stranger what's going on without making them click out.

  2. Tightened how the automation runs

    Systems

    Six recurring jobs moved onto a stricter allowlist so the systems map only does what it is supposed to.

    See the map

  3. Email triage went live

    Systems

    Inbound mail now feeds the operating map directly — fewer manual checks, faster handoffs.

    Trace the system

  4. Sarah upgrade — emergency alerts and caller history

    Systems

    The voice line learned to recognize emergencies, route alerts to me directly, and remember who has called before.

  5. acpdesigns.studio publishes

    Site

    First public version of the studio's front door — a single page pointing at properties, apps, and the rest.

  6. Workflow map went public

    Systems

    The plain-English diagram of how calls, approvals, and reminders move is now linked from the studio site.

  7. HabitForge “gamer” teaser

    Apps

    First image-to-video teaser rendered, synced to the lyric track. Brand site is live.

  8. Sarah goes live on (866) 953-8055

    Systems

    A 24/7 AI voice agent answers the property line, takes details, and routes work to the right place.

    Call Sarah

  9. AppFolio work-order sync

    Property

    Work-order pulls now run automatically — 28 orders parsed in under a minute, ready to review in one place.

  10. TodoToNotes prototype

    Apps

    A small macOS utility: snap a handwritten list, review the parsed tasks, save a clean checklist to Apple Notes.

  11. Palmer Construction site online

    Property

    Public site for the parent brand behind the rental portfolio — Tuscaloosa and Northport projects.

    Visit Palmer Construction

  12. First automation pipeline live

    Systems

    The earliest scheduled jobs go online — daily summaries, reminder routing, and a Telegram approval inbox.

  13. HabitForgeAI.com brand site online

    Apps

    Public-facing brand site for the habit app — explainer, screenshots, download path.

  14. Transfer Portal v1 hits the App Store

    Apps

    Free iPhone app for tracking NCAA football transfers across all 138 FBS programs. No ads, no paywall.

    App Store

  15. Palmer Control Center opens

    Site

    Property leasing, maintenance, documents, and daily decisions moved behind a single private workspace.

Flagship

Palmer Control Center.

A private command center for leasing, maintenance, documents, and daily property decisions.

This is the piece that makes ACP Designs Studio feel different: the public site points to real properties, real apps, and a protected workspace built for the work behind them.

Workflow Automation

The studio's nervous system, drawn out so anyone can read it.

Inbound calls are answered 24/7 by Sarah, an AI voice agent. Emails get triaged automatically, work orders queue up for one-tap Telegram approval, and 24 scheduled jobs keep the property business moving without me checking 12 dashboards.

Why it exists: Automation only earns its keep when you can see exactly what it's doing.

Private workspaceProperty operations command centerPassword protected

Palmer Control Center

Where the day's property work actually gets done.

Each morning: which units need leasing focus, which work orders are overdue, which tenants are due a follow-up. Lease docs, history, and decision notes all live here so I'm not digging through email.

Why it exists: Running a portfolio shouldn't mean keeping the whole thing in your head.

Transfer Portal

Every FBS transfer, in one tap.

Built for fans and recruiting nerds who want a fast read on entries, commitments, rankings, and team movement during transfer season. All 138 FBS programs, no ads, no paywall.

Why it exists: Sometimes you don't need every grade and recruiting note — you just want the score.

  • 138 teams
  • Free, no ads
  • Built for game-day checks
Live brand, active productHabit systemPublic preview

HabitForge

A daily check-in across body, mind, money, and meaning.

Open it in the morning, log a short reflection in each pillar, and get back to your day. No streaks to break, no leaderboards. Logs are private and stay private.

Why it exists: Most habit apps punish you for missing a day. This one doesn't.

  • Web + iOS
  • No streak shaming
  • Daily reflection

Palmer Properties

A 108-unit rental portfolio across Tuscaloosa and Northport.

Leasing, maintenance, tenant support, unit turns, and follow-up — backed by Palmer Construction for renovations and new builds.

Why it exists: The portfolio is the live test environment for everything else in the studio.

KnowYourHome

Move-in answers without the long text thread.

Current tenants find parking rules, trash schedules, move-in steps, and the dozen other answers usually buried in email — all on a phone-friendly page tied to their property.

Why it exists: Tenants shouldn't have to wait on a reply just to find out which dumpster is theirs.

Open-source appmacOS utilityPrototype

TodoToNotes

A small macOS utility for handwritten lists.

Take a photo, review the extracted tasks, and save a clean checklist to Apple Notes.

Why it exists: Handwritten lists shouldn't need retyping — and OCR alone usually misses the structure.
