Software built on off-days.

Built on nights and off-days, each app answers one concrete friction of my own: a case going unlogged, a budget going unopened, a moment going unremembered. Small, single-purpose, and built around constraints rather than feature lists — most are in daily use; a few are still taking shape.

Screenshots show the apps running on demonstration data only — invented cases, invented figures, invented notes. No clinical, financial, or personal records appear anywhere on this page.

The applications

Active

Surgical Log

If a case isn't logged, it can't compound.

A case log for brief capture between cases. It builds an operative record for reviewing exposure and primary-versus-assist counts.

Built because memory is a bad registrar.

Active

Bench

Surgical skill is also built away from the table.

A deliberate-practice bench for knots and suturing — timed sessions, rep counts, and structured GRS self-scoring. Practice gets a scoreboard instead of a vibe.

Active

Tend

Get it out of your head.

A five-lane capture board for the constant stream of small obligations. Everything gets dumped into one inbox, triaged later, and closed with a tick — the point is a quiet head during rounds.

Active

Nook

A cosy shelf for the internet.

Links, papers, and ideas get parked on a warm pinboard instead of dying across four hundred open tabs. Old saves resurface on their own, so nothing rots unseen.

Active

Sift

Find what is worth keeping.

Saved carousels and screenshots become searchable text through local AI models on my laptop. Captures pass through my private storage, and originals remain available for checking the extraction. Incomplete and failed captures carry status messages; the text still needs a reader's judgement.

Built because bookmarks are where good finds go to die.

Active

Commonplace Fieldbook

A commonplace book, the old way, on new paper.

Reading notes captured as leaves and threaded by theme — the Renaissance commonplace tradition rebuilt as a book-styled notebook, paper grain included.

Vaachan

वाचन — 'reading aloud'

Books that read themselves.

Drop in a PDF — a textbook chapter, a paper — and it reads aloud with word-by-word highlighting. Built for commutes and tired eyes.

Active

Developing

A film camera for two people.

A private two-person photo roll: both shoot blind, and the film develops only when the roll completes — photographs as delayed gratification.

No previews, no retakes, no scrolling back. The constraint is the product.

Active

Mirror

A quiet ledger, not a lecture.

Spend capture in one screen, then a month-level view of what is actually left: on-hand cash against the forecast, EMIs coming up, and a watch on the two categories that leak.

Built because a budget you do not open is a budget you do not have.

Kshan

क्षण — 'a moment'

A moment a day, sealed for a month.

A native Android journal for a short daily video, with a choice of beat for the month-end film. Daily footage stays sealed until the month closes.

The film follows the calendar month, with an option to include missed days.

Follow Through

An alarm you have to walk to.

A native Android alarm meant to be undismissable from bed: the intended exit is tapping the phone against an NFC tag stuck somewhere across the room.

Still under development. The alarm fires exactly on time through doze and re-registers itself across a reboot, both verified on a real handset — but the NFC dismissal is designed, not built, so there is nothing honest to screenshot yet.
