Software I use daily and trust. Some independent, some giants. All hard to replace.
Email that works for you, not advertisers. Own servers, no VC, nothing collected on you.
The Dark Sky team, independent again. A corporation bought their last weather app and let it die. So they built a better one.
A quiet home for everything worth keeping. No feed, no algorithm, nothing sold back to you. Five years in, still my favorite.
Buy it once, host it yourself, own it forever. No subscription, no landlord. I’m writing my book on it.
Clipboard history for everything I have ever copied. I stopped losing things years ago.
Screen recordings that look right without editing. One person built it. It shows.
One terminal for every server I run, phone included.
Coding agents I run in parallel. Most days they outwork me.
The model I build with every day. Most of what I ship passes through it.
Still where everything breaks first. I read it daily and post when it matters.
Social that can’t deplatform you. Your followers and posts live on a protocol, not a company. I’m here every day.
Money with no CEO and no off switch. No company runs it, no state can print it. The original opt out.
A computer no one owns and anyone can build on. No permission, no gatekeeper, no take-down. Most of what I ship runs on it.
