Giving back to the commons

I build and release free, open source apps — privacy-first tools that run locally on your machine. No subscriptions, no data harvesting, no lock-in.

Open source made my career possible, so I contribute back by shipping local-first, private tools that anyone can inspect, fork, and improve. The apps below run on your machine, not behind a subscription wall or opaque cloud backend.
