The creative side of Simply Discover

Simply Labs

Good ideas
deserve room.

A little space beyond the roadmap. A chance to ask a different question. And, sometimes, something useful to share.

01 / Out in the world

Small ideas.
Practical possibilities.

A calmer daily routine. A clearer view of an archive. Different problems, the same instinct: build something focused that helps.

Wellbeing & routine / First Labs release

SimplyStreaks

Small wins, visibly stacked.

A free iPhone app for building consistency around the things that matter to you. Reading, exercise, cooking, hydration, sleep, studying, mindfulness, or anything you want to keep showing up for.

Rather than pressure or complicated habit systems, SimplyStreaks keeps the focus on one clear question: what is the next small win?

  • Daily, weekly, monthly or selected-day goals, with one-tap completion and undo for today.
  • Plan cues, optional reminders and gentle recovery prompts when life gets in the way.
  • Weekly progress, calendars, yearly heatmaps, insights and milestone medals. Widgets and system actions for quick completion.

PowerShell utility / Version 0.2.0

SDPstInfo

Know the file.
Plan the next step.

A lightweight, read-only utility for inspecting Microsoft Outlook PST files. One command, Get-SDPstInfo, brings file metadata, folder statistics and password-flag status into view.

No Outlook automation, COM, MAPI or third-party PST libraries required. Use it on Windows, macOS or Linux, with PowerShell pipeline support for multiple PST files.

  • Inspect the PST format, version, file size and block encoding, plus the Outlook password flag and raw 32-bit hash.
  • See folder and item counts, unread counts, hierarchy paths and subfolder indicators.
  • For PSTs you own whose original password is lost, opt in to authorised alternative password generation suitable for migration.

02 / How Labs works

Not every idea
starts in a backlog.

The core Simply Discover platform handles evidence, compliance, privacy, collaboration and regulated data. Labs gives the same team a different mode: ask a question, build a prototype, test a small idea and see what earns a release.

Developers and team members have protected time to explore without waiting for a platform requirement.

01

Dream wider.

An experiment might come from health, learning, personal productivity, accessibility, automation or a problem someone notices at home. It does not need to start inside our market.

02

Build small.

Start with a focused utility, clear enough to try. Give an idea a chance to breathe before surrounding it with process.

03

Share what helps.

When a project is ready for people outside the company, Labs becomes its public home. Some ideas will remain prototypes. Selected projects become releases.

A few useful details

About the projects.

What is Simply Labs?

Simply Labs is a Simply Discover initiative that gives developers and team members protected time to explore ideas beyond the core platform. Selected projects are shared as public releases.

Are Labs projects part of the core platform?

Labs is a home for projects beyond the core Simply Discover roadmap. The projects featured here are a standalone iPhone app, SimplyStreaks, and a PowerShell utility, SDPstInfo.

Where can I find release details and downloads?

Each project has its own page with feature and release information. The SDPstInfo project page includes the module download and its checksum file.

What comes next

Room for the next good idea.

A growing collection, not a fixed roadmap. More completed projects will appear here as they are released.
