Use online
Open the link and go. These run in your browser.
Sightlines
Three interactive systems-thinking tools for people working in mission-driven organisations. Each guides you through a short conversation and builds a live diagram as you go.
Contours
A topographic skills-profile visualiser and Open Badge v3 credential generator. Define competency axes and values; the tool renders layered contour lines as a signed, portable badge you can keep, share, and reload.
TaskDial
Most to-do apps show you a list. TaskDial shows you your day as a clock: tasks are coloured arcs, so you can see at a glance whether your plan is realistic, where the gaps are, and where you’re overloading yourself.
Badge Studio
A simple, client-side badge generator running entirely in the browser. Tweak colours and settings, hit randomise, and get a downloadable badge image in PNG or SVG. Works with Open Badges or anywhere you need a recognition marker.
Commonplace
A self-hosted, federated link-collection manager. Curate collections of links and share them across the Fediverse (Mastodon etc.) and Bluesky, without creating new accounts on either network.
Stream
A different kind of RSS reader. Articles arrive, linger, and fade. You are not behind.
CalAnywhere
Privacy-first scheduling for any calendar. No OAuth, no email collection, no passwords. iCal URLs only.
Download & use offline
Run locally on your own machine. No server, no internet connection needed after download.
Groundwork
A dashboard for freelancers that lives entirely on your computer. Track your leads, income, time, and to-do list, without subscriptions, accounts, or sending your data anywhere.
nvAge
A fast, private notes app for your desktop. Type to search, press Enter to create. Your notes live as plain text files on your own machine; no accounts, no cloud, no one else reading them.
