Small tools for the seconds that make you pause.

I'm John, an independent developer building quiet apps for hesitation, photos, and everyday friction. A good tool should feel natural when it is there and missed when it is not.

“Stay curious about AI. Stay honest about life.”

I write code in Guangzhou, building small and focused tools. These apps are small by design: local-first, and made for repeated real use rather than feature lists.
