Catalog
Open a name for the write-up. Versions open GitHub.
Search vendor and project docs on your machine.
Copies docs to Markdown, indexes them with SQLite FTS5, and searches them locally. A public BM25 sample reaches 95.8% Hit@1 and 100% Hit@5. A live demo searches the same sample corpus.
BM25: A standard keyword search ranker. Hit@1 means the right page ranked first. Hit@5 means it ranked in the top five.
A local engine for software catalogs.
Full-text and relationship search, plugins, and a check when files no longer match the catalog. Includes a local Explorer UI. The GitHub release is v0.3.0.
A realtime social app on Convex.
Accounts, friends, a feed, comments, notifications, and messages. Updates run through Convex queries.
Local records of what an AI agent did.
Records what an agent did, what it saw, and what it was allowed to call. Everything stays on your machine.
A native launcher strip next to the macOS Dock.
Custom app, file, and URL slots, optional Dock merge or mirror, running-app badges, and a reveal from the screen edge or the menu bar. Public source. No signed download yet.
An offline job-search and resume CLI.
Profiles, eligibility rules, and apply packages you review before sending. The public repo uses example data only, not a real resume or job history.
Host admission for concurrent coding agents on one Mac.
Reads CPU, memory, thermal, and disk-write pressure, then admits or defers agent work. Public source. No downloadable binary.
Source is on GitHub.

How I ship
Local
The tools run on your machine. You do not need a cloud account.
Public
I publish source, tests, and a tagged release. I do not invent users or revenue.
