Smaller tools, same spirit.

Not every idea needs a product page. These are the ones I built because I wanted them, and they are free too.

LSN

Lalitha Sahasranamam, learned one sloka at a time. Flashcards with looping audio, and a player for the full recitation. Runs on home Wi-Fi for a phone, a TV or a laptop.

FreeBuilt

Screenshot annotator

Capture a full page, the visible area or a selection, then mark it up with text, highlights and shapes. Tag it and save it to a folder you choose.

FreeIn progress

E-paper desk display

Live weather and calendar on a calm e-paper screen, driven by a Raspberry Pi Zero. It shows the day at a glance and uses almost no power.

FreeHobby build

Made with AI. Checked by tests.

Each product starts as a written spec, is built with AI as a pair programmer, and ships in small steps that every automated test has to pass first.

Spec

Written down before any code.

Build

AI writes, a person reviews.

Test

Nothing ships on red.

Ship

Small steps, easy to undo.

Listen

Real users shape the next step.
