Small privacy-first tools for focus, research, notes, and browser workflows.
I build tools I want to use myself: local-first where possible, useful immediately, and paid only when the value is obvious.

8 hours in the browser. Zero idea where they went.
Chrome extension that tracks active browsing time by website domain, keeps all data local, and shows you exactly where your attention goes.
For Remote workers, students, and privacy-conscious users who want honest browser time data without creating an account or sending data to a server.
Unlike RescueTime, Amethyst tracks your time with zero cloud — no account, no server, no data selling.
50 qualified B2B leads in 48 hours. $200. No subscription.
I research your ideal customers and deliver 50 qualified B2B leads with names, roles, companies, LinkedIn profiles, and websites in 48 hours. $200 per batch. No subscription. No software to learn.
For B2B founders and sales teams who need 50 qualified leads fast — without building a research stack or learning new software.
Unlike Apollo.io or scraping tools, every lead is hand-researched with a personalized outreach angle — delivered to your inbox in 48 hours.

The thought disappears while you're opening your notes app.
Chrome side panel extension that lets you take notes without leaving your current page. One click opens your notes right next to what you're reading—no new tabs, no app switching.
For Researchers, students, and writers who lose thoughts switching tabs to open their notes app.
Unlike Notion or Obsidian, noted opens as a side panel right next to your tab — no new window, no loading screen, no app switching.

You open it 'for one second.' You lose an hour.
Chrome extension that blocks distracting websites and makes you earn access through a typing friction challenge, timed unlocks, schedule-based blocking, and focus analytics. Friction, not walls—unlike Cold Turkey and Freedom.
For Developers, students, and remote workers who need real friction against distraction — not a blocker they'll bypass in two clicks.
Unlike Cold Turkey, ResistGate lets you access blocked sites — but makes you earn it, so every visit is intentional.
Product path
Most tools start with a free path. Pro exists for limits, analytics, stricter controls, or faster workflows — not artificial lock-in.
