I'm a DevOps engineer by day. When something on my machine keeps bugging me, I build a tiny tool to fix it. This is where I share them.
Apps
Wipe your Mac. Not your work.
Locks the keyboard and blacks out every screen with one click, so you can clean the keyboard and spot dust without firing shortcuts, typing gibberish or blasting the volume. Hold ✕ to exit. No network access, nothing logged.
[One line about the annoyance it fixes.]
If a small, well-defined problem keeps getting in your way, tell me. The best tools here started as someone's complaint.
Suggest an appAbout
I run infrastructure for a living — Kubernetes clusters on DigitalOcean, AWS and bare metal, the observability stacks that watch them, and the pipelines that move data between them.
That work teaches you to notice friction. A key that fires the wrong shortcut, a step you repeat twenty times a day, a thing the OS should do but doesn't. Most people shrug. I open an editor.
The apps here are the ones that turned out useful enough to clean up and share. Each does one thing, runs natively, and stays out of your way.
How I build
Each app solves exactly one problem. If it needs a settings screen, it's probably two apps.
Written for the platform in the platform's language. Launches instantly, uses almost no memory, and looks like it belongs.
No accounts, no analytics, no phoning home. If an app needs a permission, the reason is written right there in plain words.
Most tools are free. When one costs money, it's a one-time price with no subscription.
I read everything. Replies may take a few days — there's a cluster somewhere that needs attention.
