Built by one developer, at night.

I'm Mark — I build things while the rest of the world sleeps. Most of this collection is native Swift menu bar and desktop utilities for macOS. The rest is web apps, and one game that started as a fake mobile ad I couldn't stop thinking about. Every one of them exists to solve a single specific problem better than whatever I was putting up with before.

I ship because I use these tools myself. If it's not good enough for my own workflow, it doesn't leave the lab.

“The best tools are the ones you forget are running — until the moment you need them.”
