Creating tools you own, for people and businesses.

What I make and why.

I build desktop software for independent service businesses. You buy it once and it's yours. No subscriptions, no accounts, no recurring charges. Your data stays on your machine.

When open source can do the job, I use it. Software gets better when people build together.

Simple tools. Real ownership. That's the whole idea.

A few things I believe.

Buy it and it's yours.

You pay once, you get the software, it belongs to you. No subscriptions, no recurring charges. Like buying a hammer.

I never see your stuff.

Your clients, your invoices, your schedule. It all lives on your machine. I don't store it. I don't want it. Your business is your business.

Built in the open.

I use open source tools when they're good. I share what I learn when I can. Software gets better when people work together. I actually believe that.

Who it's for.

You run your own thing. Maybe you walk dogs, clean houses, mow lawns, tutor kids, fix sinks, train clients, scrub pools, or pressure-wash driveways. Maybe it's something I haven't listed.

If you book appointments, keep track of clients, and send invoices, and you'd rather be out doing the work than wrestling with software, this is for you.

Why I'm doing this.

I kept meeting people who run real businesses (pet sitters, cleaners, landscapers, consultants), and they were all paying $50 to $300 a month for software they barely used. Software that held their data hostage. Software that got more expensive every year.

So I built the tool I thought they deserved. You buy it once, you own it. Your data stays on your machine. It works offline. It calculates your taxes. It reminds you to follow up with clients. And when you're done for the day, it doesn't email you asking you to upgrade.

Just software that works for people who work hard.
