Productivity

Small tools that sit quietly on your device and make everyday writing faster — everywhere you type.

4 apps

TaskHop

See time run out. Hop on time.

iOS · Android

TaskHop is a one-screen visual timer for people who hyperfocus and lose track of time. The screen fills with colour and drains like a glass as the time runs out, follows you to the Lock Screen, and rings a real alarm at zero. For iPhone and Android. No account, no server, one payment.

  • Full-screen timer that drains like a glass, time left on the waterline
  • Live on the Lock Screen (and the Dynamic Island and StandBy on iPhone)
  • Five-minute heads-up, then an alarm that rings through silent and Focus

MindVoice

Get every thought out of your head.

iOS · Android

Tap the home-screen widget and talk. MindVoice removes the filler, sorts what you said into seven categories, and gives you a daily summary with a checklist — including everything you still haven’t done.

  • A one-tap widget on your home screen
  • Automatically sorted into 7 categories
  • A daily summary that carries over what’s left to do

Shoute

Speak your thoughts. See them typed in a second.

macOS · Windows · iOS

Hold a key, talk, and let go. Shoute writes down what you said, fixes the grammar and punctuation, and drops the clean text right where your cursor is — in any app, any text box. Choose fast cloud processing, or keep everything on your device.

  • A single shortcut to talk, anywhere on your computer
  • Tidies up filler words and punctuation for you
  • A private mode where your voice never leaves your device

ByHuman

Mark the words that are yours.

macOS · Windows · iOS soon · Android soon

  • Add it anywhere with one keystroke or tap
  • Private by design — everything stays on your device
  • Open source, free, no ads, no in-app purchases

Relined

One line a day. Five years on one page.

iOS · Android

Relined is a private one-line-a-day journal for iPhone and Android. Write one line, and a year later it comes back to you. No account, no server, one payment.

  • One line a day, past years stacked on the same page
  • Stored on your phone and your own iCloud or Google backup — no server
  • No account, no analytics, one-time purchase

Fridge2Frame for Schools

An art fundraiser that runs itself.

Web

Teachers upload the artwork, we transform it, and parents buy the keepsakes. 40–60% of every sale goes back to the school, and a portion goes to St. Jude. No extra work for teachers, and no awkward card-selling for kids.

  • An upload portal for teachers, with student tagging
  • A private gallery and easy checkout for each school
  • Certificates finished with a gold seal

Kaavala

Your safety companion. One tap away.

iOS · Android · Web

Kaavala puts an SOS alert, your live location, and a verified volunteer escort just one press away. Every escort passes a three-stage ID check. And if you need an excuse to leave a room right now, it can ring you with a fake incoming call.

  • One-tap SOS with live location, a duress code, and a stealth mode
  • A network of volunteers, each verified with 3-stage ID checks
  • Bluetooth panic buttons, fake calls, and evidence recording
