Ithica Tech
Tools built for the working trades.
Practical software for people who work with their hands — designed on the jobsite, not in a boardroom. No bloat, no buzzwords. It doesn't have to be pretty, it just has to work.
About
I'm Christopher Phillips. I set tile for a living — and I build software at night.
I built Calibra for my boss. I'd watch him burn hours on estimates — measuring, calculating, rechecking — time that should've been spent on the job. I'd never written an estimate myself, but the problem was plain as day, so I built the tool that makes it fast and easy.
Now I'm building one good tool for every trade, and connecting them where the trades meet. Every tool has to earn its keep the same way a good tool on the truck does — by doing its job, every day, without fuss.
We build with AI the way a good apprentice works alongside a journeyman: fast, tireless, and always under a human's eye.
The plan
A constellation of trade apps.
Calibra is the first star, not the whole sky. We're building one great app for each trade — and when those trades meet on the same job, the apps connect into a shared view of the jobsite.
No bloated platform. No software designed by people who've never swung a hammer. Just tools that talk to each other the way a good crew does.
Built per trade
Each app is designed for one trade's real workflow — by someone who's worked it. If it doesn't earn its keep on the truck, it doesn't ship.
Connected on the jobsite
When two Ithica Tech apps land on the same job, they link up — shared schedule, shared contacts, everyone on the same page.
Yours, not ours
Your customers, your prices, your data. We sell tools, not your business.
Products
Calibra
Estimating for tile contractors. Calibra turns a tape measure and a few answers into a fast, professional-looking estimate — from a quick price on the spot to a detailed, editable breakdown you can hand a customer with confidence.
Who it's for
Tile setters, tiling crews, and one-man shops who are tired of losing bids to slower paperwork.
Quick pricing
A fast price when you need a number now — no digging through spreadsheets on the tailgate.
Detailed estimates
Full breakdowns with editable labor and material rates, customer records, and a paper trail you can stand behind.
