Who We Are
TechnoStalls is an independent technology publication founded in 2018 with a straightforward mission: explain technology in plain language that helps people make better decisions about the devices and services they use every day. We cover smart home technology, iPhone and mobile devices, self-hosted software, and the tools that connect them all together.
Based in the United States with contributors across North America and Europe, our editorial team brings together professional tech writers, certified smart home integrators, and software engineers who test every product and write every guide from direct, hands-on experience. We do not rewrite press releases. We do not publish sponsored content disguised as editorial. Every article on this site reflects real-world testing on real devices in real homes.
What We Cover
Smart Home Technology covers everything from initial device selection through advanced automation. Our guides on Home Assistant, Matter, Thread, Zigbee, and Z-Wave protocols help readers build reliable connected homes without vendor lock-in. We test devices in production environments over weeks, not hours, before publishing recommendations.
iPhone and Mobile provides comprehensive troubleshooting, feature guides, and optimization tips for Apple’s mobile ecosystem. Our writers use iPhones as their primary devices daily, which means every guide comes from genuine user experience rather than spec sheet summaries.
Software and Self-Hosting addresses the growing movement toward digital independence. Our tutorials on Docker, Raspberry Pi servers, Tailscale, Pi-hole, and self-hosted alternatives to cloud services give readers step-by-step paths to controlling their own data without requiring a computer science background.
Our Editorial Standards
Every article follows a defined editorial process. Writers research using primary sources, test procedures on current hardware and software versions, and structure content for clarity and completeness. A separate editor reviews each piece for technical accuracy before publication. Read our full editorial policy.
