Small, specific tools that remove a daily annoyance

Not every problem needs a full application. A bot that posts a daily summary, a browser extension that fills a repetitive form, or a script that renames and files documents can save time immediately. We build these quickly, document them and keep them simple to run.

Bots and custom tools

Chat bots, browser extensions, scripts and small utilities for specific jobs.
