Isophoric I.T.

Managed IT and on-site support for the greater Oswego region

Isophoric I.T. not only seeks to fulfill our clients' needs promptly and thoroughly, but to help educate customers through the process. We handle IT services with a personable atmosphere so that our customers won't feel stuck as often, and they know that we care about their needs as more than just a product.

Managed services

Proactive monitoring, patching, and backups for small businesses on a monthly plan, so problems are caught before they cost you a day. One number to call, and someone who already knows your network.

Help desk and dispatch

Homes and businesses alike. Remote first when that is faster, at your front door when it is not. Slow machines, lost files, printers, email, the thing that "just stopped working."

Networks and Wi-Fi

Design, cabling, firewalls, and access points placed so the coverage reaches the whole building, not just the room with the router. Documented, so the next person can understand it too.

Security and backups

Sensible hardening, multi-factor sign-in, and backups that have actually been restored from. Explained in plain terms, so you know what is protected and what is not.

Cloud and email

Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace setup and migration, shared files that stay shared, licensing that fits the business you have rather than the one the vendor imagines.

Consulting and engineering

Project scoping, purchasing advice, and vendor management for the jobs that are bigger than a service call. We will tell you when the cheaper option is the right one.

No AI representatives and no hoops to jump through

We seek to help build a sense of community with our customers

Reach out for computer support unlike anything you've had previously. Our team holds over 200 manufacturer certifications along with many more certificates and licenses. Don't let just anyone fix your computers and networks. Have someone qualified.

Golden years

No labor cost to individuals over 75 years of age

Customers in their golden years pay a flat dispatch fee of $25 and no hourly rate thereafter. Bring us the phone that stopped ringing, the email that will not open, or the laptop the grandkids set up. We will sit with you until it makes sense.

Isophoric Studios

Apps and online services, community first

Isophoric Studios is the software side of Isophoric: apps and online services built for the people around us, many of them free. Each one starts from a need we see in our own community, says plainly what it does, and has its own plain-language privacy policy.

Oswego Crier

A town crier for the City of Oswego. National Weather Service alerts for the county, a live forecast compiled from more than a thousand public instruments, local news, city announcements, the city calendar, emergency contacts, and a panic siren. Lock-screen alerts on Android; the same content in any browser.

Android · Web · Free

LogiMaps

Navigation and hazard awareness for delivery drivers and first responders, built on free OpenStreetMap data with no Google account behind it. Plans multi-stop routes around tolls and closed roads, speaks turns, and layers shelters, alerts, flood gauges, road weather and air quality over the map. The web demo runs in your browser with a sample route through Oswego.

Web · Free

Remote job search

Fully remote openings gathered every day from employers' own career sites and public remote job boards, with filters for what decides whether a job can work for you: where you can work from, pay, and whether it asks for a degree, travel or office days. Optional free accounts are open, with saved searches on every device and new-job alerts on the way.

Weather Generative Button

One screen, two buttons. Give it coordinates and a radius and it gathers current weather, water levels, air quality, alerts, shelters, and declarations into a plain-text report you can print, read, or hand to the language model of your choice. Built at the request of a regional emergency-response IT lead for responders, volunteers, and non-profits. No model built in, no keys, nothing that can be metered.

Android · Prototype

ChirpSqueak

Sends short text messages as audible sound between two phones, with no network of any kind: the app does not even hold the internet permission. Pair two devices with a QR code and messages are sealed with AES-256-GCM before they leave the speaker.

Android · In development

WhatWeKept

A quiet game about wandering and bartering long after the world ended, when the dust has settled and hostility is rare. The items you trade are fragments of the human record: a torn page of poetry, a hand-copied repair diagram, a remembered lullaby. Each carries a use and a soul. An elegy, not a tragedy.

Also in pre-production: an untitled PC title for Steam, built in Unity by a two-person team.

Oswego Crier · web edition

Oswego, right now, in your browser

The same Oswego Crier that runs on Android, running here. Active weather and public-safety alerts for Oswego County, a forecast compiled from public weather, water, air, and marine instruments within twenty-five miles of the city, the latest local headlines, City Hall's announcements and calendar, and who to call in an emergency.

  • Weather alerts straight from the National Weather Service, including IPAWS civil alerts
  • A current forecast from 1,054 catalogued instruments: airports, gauges, buoys, monitors
  • Local news from five Oswego outlets, with feeds you can hide
  • City announcements and the city calendar, read from the city's own site
  • Emergency resources: police, medical, disaster, utilities, and crisis lines

Lock-screen alerts, background checks, and the siren's volume control are part of the Android app. In the browser, the page works while it is open.
