Software I build between shoots

Before photography, I spent years building software. I never really stopped, I just started building for myself instead of a company. Most of what you will find here are small, focused tools that solve a problem I had personally: a light meter I trust in the field, a way to keep my film holders organized, a cleaner home for the AI prompts I use every week.

All of them are free to start. None of them collect your data. A few have a small one-time unlock, never a subscription.
