Everything on the bench
SextonsWorkshop is a one-person shop with one standard: things should feel precise. Below is what's shipping today, and what's coming to the bench next.
CalibratedNotes
Built for engineers, by engineers. A precision handwriting and diagramming notebook for iPad, built for Apple Pencil.
More about CalibratedNotes +
Built for engineers, by engineers — CalibratedNotes is designed around the way technical work actually gets written down. Custom diagram tools, a full equation editor, quick access to Greek and math/science symbols, an on-page ruler, and checklists sit alongside real pressure-aware handwriting, a lasso and eraser that keep up with your hand, and per-page storage that stays fast even on notebooks with hundreds of pages — and many more features built in.
The Light-Up Ball
A 3D-printed ball that lights up — battery-powered and durable enough to throw around at night. Currently being designed and prototyped for a small first run.
More about the Light-Up Ball +
Light up the night with the Light Up Ball, a unique illuminated ball designed to bring a fun new twist to outdoor play. Featuring a bright LED core surrounded by a durable TPU exterior, the Light Up Ball lights up the dark, making it easy to see and enjoy after sundown.
The rechargeable design eliminates the need for constantly replacing batteries, while the protective outer shell is built to withstand everyday use. Whether you're playing outside at night, adding some extra excitement to a game, or simply looking for something fun and different, the Light Up Ball stands out with its light-up design and unique appearance.
With its combination of durability, portability, and eye-catching illumination, the Light Up Ball is made to make nighttime play more visible, more exciting, and more fun.
Workshop notes
What is SextonsWorkshop? +
SextonsWorkshop is Aiden Sexton's independent studio — one person designing, building, and shipping precise things. The first release is CalibratedNotes, a handwriting and note-taking app for iPad built around Apple Pencil, live now on the App Store. Alongside it, the Light-Up Ball is in development as the workshop's first physical object.
What is the Light-Up Ball, exactly? +
It's a 3D-printed ball with a battery-powered light inside — built to be thrown around and played with outside after dark, not just admired on a shelf. It's currently being designed and prototyped in-house. Sizing, battery life, and pricing will be shared here as those decisions are finalized.
How do I get support for CalibratedNotes? +
Visit the support site for troubleshooting, feature requests, and the student discount program. If you don't find what you need there, you can reach the workshop directly by email.
What's next on the bench? +
Continued refinement of CalibratedNotes based on real usage, alongside the first physical prototypes of the Light-Up Ball. Both will get updates posted here as they're ready.
