About Lampstand

Lampstand was founded in 2026 by Holden Cole, a Catholic developer in Houston, Texas. It exists because serious Christian software, made with care and conviction, is rare. We wanted to build tools shaped from inside the practice, by attending the Mass, praying the Office, reading the saints, and living the rhythm of the Church year, rather than from outside it.

Lampstand is small on purpose. One person now; perhaps a small team in time. The work moves slowly and carefully because the things it serves move slowly and carefully.

Our first app, Introibo, is a complete prayer companion for traditional Catholics. Future apps will extend into other parts of Christian life, study, family, the integration of body and soul. Each one independent. Each one held together by a shared sensibility across the suite.
