I wrote a 50-line script that renames my screenshots by what's in them
Runs a tiny local vision model over new screenshots and renames Screenshot-2025-whatever to something I can actually find later. My desktop is no longer a graveyard.

Ledger
I made a plain-text personal finance tracker you actually own
Ledger keeps your accounts in a human-readable text file with a fast UI on top for entry and charts. Imports from CSV, exports to anything. No bank logins, no data broker, no subscription.

Tide for iOS
Update: Tide finally syncs to the phone in your pocket
The peer sync finally works on iOS. Same CRDT, same file format, no server in the middle. This is the update I have wanted to post for months.

Tempo
I built a keyboard-first time tracker that lives in my menubar
Hit a global shortcut, type what you are doing, done. Stores to a local SQLite db and exports CSV. No accounts, no cloud, no nagging. The whole UI is one text field.

Tide
I built a local-first notes app that syncs without a server
Tide keeps everything in a local SQLite file and syncs peer to peer over a tiny last-writer-wins CRDT, so there is no server in the middle and no account to make. Your notes never leave devices you own, which is the entire point. I started it because every notes app I tried eventually wanted my email, then a subscription, then my data. The sync was the hard part: I spent two weeks getting conflict resolution to feel boring and predictable instead of clever. Setting up a second device is still clunky and search is naive, but for daily capture it has quietly replaced everything else I used. Encrypted sync and a proper mobile build are next.
