Made · 10 things

Things I’ve made.

Small tools, mostly for myself, sometimes for the living room. All of them are open source.

ws

Go · TUI · CLI

A workspace switcher and scaffolding tool. Fuzzy-search your projects from a TUI, jump into one, or start a new one from a template.

every experiment gets a dated folder now. my home directory has never been this tidy.

caff

zsh · oh-my-zsh · macOS

A modern, friendlier wrapper around macOS caffeinate. My first oh-my-zsh plugin.

CaffBar

Swift · macOS · Homebrew

caff’s menu bar sibling: a small macOS app that runs caffeinate with one-click presets, a custom duration and the core sleep modes. Installs with Homebrew.

SlidePlay

Node · Express · Socket.IO

A real-time slideshow and quiz game for family nights: a host screen on the TV, players on their phones, an admin view, and live scoring.

The SlidePlay host screen after a question, showing the correct answer and each player’s pick and time.

first played at my dad’s birthday, on the living-room TV. the scoreboard got loud.

paper-cleaner

TypeScript · FastAPI · Docker

Turns phone photos of worksheets into clean, printable pages: perspective correction, cropping, tone and manual erase. Runs locally, no accounts, no cloud.

PetPomodoro

TypeScript · React · PWA

A cozy Pomodoro app with a tamagotchi twist: every honestly finished focus session helps a small pet grow. Local-first, works offline, made for the iPhone home screen.

github.com/akalp/petpomodoro ↗petpomodoro.pages.dev ↗

PetPomodoro on an iPhone, showing Momo the pet with its level, mood and stats.

aseprite-builder

Go · CLI · TUI

An unofficial CLI and TUI that builds, installs, updates and repairs the Aseprite sprite editor from its official source code. It never redistributes the binaries.
