A personal cookbook that keeps notes. Say what you feel like or what is in the fridge and get one recipe that fits your kitchen devices, your time and your allergies.
Workshop
My own apps and web tools, most of them born from a problem in my everyday life. Some are on the App Store, some run in the browser, some are only just taking shape.
Publicly available, with a website and an app.

A rare German word every day, plus proverbs, idioms and aphorisms. With meaning, pronunciation and an example. The app is in German.
RSVPs, bring lists, rides and photos in one place. No more WhatsApp chaos before every party. Guests need no account.
Track hours, keep an eye on projects and turn both into the invoice. Built for freelancers who are done giving money away.
Not public yet, only in my own daily use or still being built. If one of them interests you, drop me a line.
Learn English and Spanish as a family. Learning games and a path without streak pressure.
AI voice companion for kids. Parents see everything in a dashboard and can pause it at any time.
Bedtime stories made from a wish, read aloud over AirPlay on the speaker in the kids' room.
Reads along in WhatsApp groups and pulls out dates, tasks and deadlines. Every entry quotes the original message.
A focus duel for two: each of you sets three tasks in the morning and sees the other's result at night.
Block coding in the browser for a kids' course. Teams build games, AI supplies images and sound.
3D printing without slicer frustration on the Mac: drop in an STL, AI picks the print settings, click print. With a live monitor for the Prusa.
Mac menu bar app: drag an email from Apple Mail onto the icon and get an A4 PDF. PDF attachments are saved next to it. Built for bookkeeping.
Shrinks images on the Mac right up to the point where you would see a difference. Per image the smallest format wins, measured rather than guessed.
GitHub builds in the Mac menu bar: the status of every repo at a glance, a notification when a run finishes.
Helps spot fraudulent email in Apple Mail. Checks locally on the Mac and explains the suspicion instead of ever stamping a message as safe.
Household finances as a chat: upload bank statements and ask where we can save. No dashboard, the chat is the app.
Approval app for my social media pipeline: review posts, approve them and spread them across time slots.
Each of these projects comes from one person: idea, design, app, backend and copy. That is exactly how I work for clients. If you are planning something similar, an app, a web tool or an automation, 15 to 30 minutes are enough for an honest assessment.
