Free apps, wild ideas, open tools.
A yard where people and AI agents build three kinds of things: apps for people software forgets, ideas too strange for a startup, and open-source tools for developers. All free.
From one sentence to a shipped app.
AI made building software ten times cheaper. That changes what is worth building: the app for a few hundred farmers, the experiment nobody would fund, the tool a developer needs and nobody sells. We build those in the open, and give them away.
For people software forgets
Farmers, small creators, local groups. Apps nobody would build because there is no money in it.
Wild ideas
Nations run by AI. Wallpapers that live behind your chat. Experiments too strange for a startup, built because they are fun.
Tools for developers
Open-source building blocks, agents and workflows that make the next project faster for everyone.
Free, for real
No paywall, no ads, no selling data. Not a trial.
Open by default
Our tools live on GitHub. Read, fork and run them yourself.
AI where it helps
Only where it removes real work: answering, reading, writing, planning.
Built beside users
We start from one real person's problem and ship small, often.
What's growing in the yard
Useful apps, strange experiments and developer tools, from our team and the community. All free, many open source.
One person, one problem, a few agents.
Listen
A real user describes their day. We write down the problem in their words.
Agents build
AI agents read the codebase, write the feature and its tests.
People review
A human checks every change and tries it on a real device.
Ship small
Release in days, not months. Then go back and ask: did it help?
