Side projects · Built with Lovable

Things I've built

Small tools I made for myself, real products, shipped and used daily. Spot a small recurring problem, design the smallest fix, ship it, live with it.

Coffee · daily companion

Dialled Brews

A companion for logging, rating and repeating great coffee, because the perfect brew only counts if you can make it again tomorrow.

Built for an audience of one: me. It keeps me honest about a useful truth, the tools people actually adopt nail one small job completely, not twenty jobs badly.

Habits · gentle by design

Showed Up

A warm, low-pressure place to mark the days you showed up. One habit, one gentle reminder a day, no streaks to lose, no guilt to carry.

A small experiment in motivation without punishment: what if a product celebrated the days you showed up instead of shaming the ones you missed?

Discovery · decision engine

Savvy Streaming

A watchlist and recommendation companion that keeps track of what's on which service, so picking something to watch takes a minute rather than half an evening.

Good discovery narrows the choice. Most streaming products add another catalogue to scroll, which is the opposite of the job people actually want doing.

Explorations · not shipped

Concepts & explorations

Lightweight prototypes built to test one product question before anyone spends real time on it. These aren't live, they're here for the thinking.

Productivity · prototype

Focus Tiles

A single screen of daily priority tiles, built to replace the scattered mix of task apps, sticky notes and half-remembered intentions.

“Can one screen carry a whole day, if it refuses to hold anything that isn't today?”

The hard part wasn't the tiles, it was the deleting. A focus tool only works if it makes leaving things out feel safe.

Family · concept

Little Adventures

A weekend planner that turns a family's interests and free hours into small local adventures everyone will actually agree to.

“Can a planner hold both the booked-in plan and the spontaneous 'we've got two spare hours' moment without feeling like admin?”

Family planning tools fail when they assume commitment. The useful version plans loosely and forgives changes.
