A record of work, not a race

Every evidence-complete app receives the same amount of space. Every spread leads to a dated proof ledger.

01 · Utilities

AlDente

Set a charge limit for your MacBook battery.

Choose a limit, such as 80%. AlDente pauses charging when the battery reaches that level, even if the Mac stays plugged in. Pro adds controls for temperature, schedules, calibration, and other charging routines. AlDente does not promise to repair a battery or guarantee a longer lifespan.

AskForFile

Stop chasing clients for files.

AskForFile understands that a Drive folder still leaves the client wondering what belongs in it. The checklist, private link, replacement note, and completion state make the handoff legible to both sides without introducing a heavyweight client portal.

Bike Outliner

Write a list. Drag any row to reorganize it.

Each paragraph is a row. Drag a row to move the paragraph and everything nested under it. Indent rows to group ideas, then collapse a group when you want to focus. Bike saves documents as HTML-based files, so the writing is not trapped in a private database.

Callsheet

Recognize the face. Find the whole career.

Callsheet narrows a huge entertainment graph to the moment someone asks, ‘Where do I know them from?’ Age-at-filming context and spoiler-aware navigation remove two small but persistent irritations that general web searches and giant databases tend to ignore.

CardPointers

Before you pay, see which credit card earns the most.

Choose a purchase category, such as dining or travel. CardPointers compares the reward rate and active offers on your cards. It then recommends the card that gives you the best return. The app can also remind you before an offer or credit expires.

Context.dev

One URL in. Structured web context out.

Context.dev stands out by treating the web as a typed input layer rather than a scrape-and-clean endpoint. The same request can feed an agent Markdown, a schema-shaped object, visual identity, screenshots, or a full site map—without turning that infrastructure into your roadmap.

Crouton

Import the recipe. Cook without touching the screen.

Crouton solves both ends of the cooking loop: it reduces the work of collecting recipes, then turns the result into an interface that still works when your hands are occupied. The wink control is memorable because it serves the exact moment recipe software usually becomes inconvenient.

Dash

Search API documentation without opening a browser.

doodl.day

One shared reference. One small drawing today.

doodl.day removes the hardest part of casual drawing—deciding what to draw—without prescribing the result. The shared reference creates a small finish line, and the gallery makes difference more interesting than polish or rank.

Focus

Stop scrubbing. Start editing.

Focus does more than retrieve a vaguely similar clip. It keeps the footage local, surfaces the timestamp and source context, lets an editor shape verified selects, and preserves that work through the NLE handoff. That makes it a pre-edit layer rather than another AI search demo.

Rent Detective

Say what you need. Get to a verified viewing.

Rent Detective's useful idea is continuity. A renter can begin with an ordinary sentence, inspect a matched home, ask that property's assistant a specific question, compare the shortlist, and book a viewing or apply without rebuilding context in another tool. The Canada-specific pricing, screening, and lease workflow makes that path more concrete than a generic AI layer over property cards.

Toku Reader

Tap the word. Keep the sentence.

Toku's strongest decision is to keep the native material as the main event. Tap a word, see the reading and meaning, then keep moving; the same interaction follows you from prose and imported books into websites, camera text, podcasts, and video transcripts. Offline analysis makes that loop feel like reading rather than repeatedly stopping to translate.
