Ask for the Garden beta

Features

  The desktop beta is not a public download yet; email for a build. Your records sit in an encrypted vault on your own machine. No account needed.
- iPhone Garden for iPhone
  The native iPhone app is in progress; iPhone is not open to testers.
- Privacy Private by default
  Your private vault is locked behind a passphrase only you hold. Connecting a bank is optional and off in the current beta. The desktop beta is not a public download yet; email for a build. I’m building the iPhone app separately instead of carrying the older version forward.
- Beta Ask by email
  The macOS beta is available by email but there’s no public download link. It’s still one person’s unaudited beta.

Stuff

Things I made that aren't products.

Side projects, dead ends, and one small thing I actually want people to use.
- Game A small browser game. It’s parked rather than finished, and the pictures are the best part.
- Widget The clock up in the masthead. I’m opening it up so anyone can drop one into their own thing.
- Pictures Some of the plates around this site started as paintings. A few are worth showing on their own.
- Retired An assistant I built and shut down in July. Its commits stay in the log. Nothing gets quietly deleted.

About me

Who I am, and what I'm making.

I’m learning in public and building Garden. That’s most of it.
- Notes The useful parts of what I learn, written up properly. There’s no list to join and no gate to get past.
- Now Most days go into Garden. The rest goes into whatever I need that doesn’t exist yet.
- History I keep the personal parts personal. What’s public is the work, and the record underneath it.
- Contact Email works and I answer it myself. No form, no funnel.
