✨ Apps

Baby Vault

"It’s a PWA built for parents who are (rightfully) paranoid about baby data harvesting. I wanted to build something that hits all the Ink & Switch 'Seven Ideals': Local-First: Uses Dexie.js (IndexedDB) as the primary source of truth. Decentralized Sync: Uses the Nostr protocol for E2EE sync between partners—no central server or accounts required. Privacy: NIP-44 encryption ensures data is gibberish to relays."

MarkNote

"A modern, local-first WYSIWYG Markdown editor built with Tauri, React, and CodeMirror 6. For macOS, Windows, and Linux."

Skyulf

"The privacy-first MLOps workspace. Ingest data, engineer features visually, and train models without your data ever leaving your infrastructure."

Glyph

"Write in markdown. Connect ideas with links. Let AI help when you ask. Everything lives on your machine — plain files, always yours."
