A tech lab by Lizzy Garard

Thoughtful tech, made with a
little magic.

Lizzy Labs is where I build the apps, AI tools and agents I wish existed. First up: Allies, Good Guest and My Minerals.

Three apps in progress

Currently
growing.

Real product questions, worked out with curiosity and an unreasonable number of flowers.

01 / PERSONAL PRACTICE IN THE LAB

Remember every ally you work with

Allies

iPhone app · Coming soon to the App Store

Get to know your crystals, plants and sacred objects for yourself.

Not an app telling you what a plant means. Sit with each ally, record what you notice in words or voice notes, and build your own relationship over time. Not sure what you need? Use Ask Allies AI: tell it how you're feeling and it suggests who to sit with, drawing only on your own entries.

No borrowed meanings

Open the field notes

00Rooted in a living practice Inspired by the teachings of Grandmother LánéSaán Moonwalker (Apache/Yoeme), and built with her blessing.

01Your own shelves. Crystals, plants, prayer sticks and sacred objects each get a place.

02Add anything that matters to you. Photograph a sacred object and give it a shelf of its own.

03Come back to what you noticed. Your reflections build up over time, so you can see how each relationship has changed.

04Ask Allies AI. Tell it how you're feeling and it suggests who to sit with. It's AI that can only read your own notes: it quotes you back to yourself, and every quote is checked against what you wrote. It's optional, it asks before sending anything, and it never adds outside meanings.

Meet each ally for yourself

02 / THOUGHTFUL HOSPITALITY IN THE LAB

A warmer digital house guide

Good Guest

03 / PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE IN THE LAB

Just for crystals

My Minerals

iPhone app · Coming soon to the App Store · Local-first journal

A private journal for people who meditate with minerals. Photograph each stone, then write or speak what you notice. My Minerals never tells you what a stone means. That comes from your own time with it.

ON YOUR PHONE Local-first journal

Your collections, photos and journal stay on your iPhone. No account on a server, no ads, no tracking.

Allies and My Minerals

NO TRACKING No behavioral analytics

Hosts see that checkout is done, not each step a guest takes.

Good Guest

YOUR WORDS FIRST Your experience leads

Ask Allies AI only suggests from your own journal, in your own words. Every quote is checked against what you wrote, and it never adds meanings, remedies or claims.

Allies and My Minerals

ASKED, NOT ASSUMED Consent before sending

AI features are optional and ask first. Each sends only what it needs, through our server to the LLM. We don't keep your words or photos, and Anthropic doesn't train on them.

Allies and My Minerals

01

AI should ask first.

Every AI feature is optional and asks before it sends anything.
02

Your words, not ours.

The AI works only from what you've given it. It never adds outside meanings, remedies or claims.
03

Your data stays yours.

Journals live on your phone, nothing is tracked, and nothing you share is used to train AI.
04

Leave room for wonder.

Safe tech can still feel magical to use.

I'm a social entrepreneur and 5x founder. Lizzy Labs is the first venture I'm building for myself: apps, AI tools and agents, from strategy and design to the build. I'm also finishing my international MBA at USC Marshall's IBEAR program.
