Things I've made

Products I've shipped end to end — AI tools, native Mac apps, and Flutter packages. Most are open source; NotchPrompt hit #8 Product of the Day on Product Hunt.

Latest builds

Cue

Your Mac won’t let you forget.

A menu-bar app that takes over every screen — every monitor, over full-screen apps, across every Space — before something on your calendar starts. Reads Google Calendar, iCloud, Outlook, or anything else already in macOS Calendar, purely locally via EventKit: no OAuth, no accounts, no server. Press a hotkey anywhere and type "tea in 10m" for a reminder with no calendar event at all.

Runway

How long does your money last, and what can you safely do with it?

A local-first personal finance command center for macOS. No cloud, no login, no bank connections, no AI, no telemetry — everything runs on your Mac, and deleting the app never touches your data. Accounts, budgets, goals, invoicing, and a live "can I buy this?" verdict built on your actual runway.
