Recursivity

Software I’ve built.

Self-hosted dashboards, encrypted messaging, iOS and Android apps that don’t phone home, small desktop widgets that do one job — and a multi-tenant SaaS platform that organizations run their finances on. Most of it started as something I wanted to exist and couldn’t buy.

A common thread runs through nearly all of it: it runs on hardware you own, it collects nothing about you, and it says out loud what it can and cannot protect you from.

The open-source work is on GitHub. The private work is written up here without the source.
