Projects with a pulse.

Cue the Music Man

Playlists built the way people actually think about music — sideways, emotionally, one song at a time.

Start with a track, an artist, a mood, a memory, or a Shazam moment in the grocery store parking lot. Cue turns that spark into a fully built playlist you can save to Apple Music, reorder, and make your own.

It’s for:

• the “make me something like this, but later and moodier” people
• the “I know the vibe, not the genre” people
• the “this one song just changed the temperature of the room” people

You can:

• generate playlists from a prompt or a Shazam-identified song
• preview tracks before you save them
• reorder, edit, add, and delete songs
• send playlists straight to Apple Music

Less like filling out a form. More like texting someone with suspiciously good taste.

idraw.fyi

A private-room drawing and guessing game for people who believe “bad art” is usually the funniest art.

Make a room, send the link, pick a name and an emoji face, then take turns drawing something just recognizable enough for your friends to yell the wrong answers into chat.

It’s skribbl-style chaos with no accounts, no lobby ceremony, and no expectation that anyone involved can actually draw.

You can:

• create private rooms and invite friends with a link
• draw with brush, eraser, fill, colors, sizes, and undo
• guess live while the canvas updates for everyone
• customize your tiny emotional support avatar
• play through rounds, reveal words, crown winners, and run it back

Less like a polished board game. More like passing a marker around at a party and discovering everyone draws dogs the same way.

Computer Wake Up

Your computer is asleep. You’re not. One of you has to do something about this.

Wake-on-LAN from your iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Mac menu bar, Siri, Shortcuts, widgets, and Control Center. Tap once. A small incantation travels over your local network. Your computer, somewhere across the house or across the building, wakes up.

The protocol is actually called a “magic packet.” That’s the real name — it’s your MAC address repeated sixteen times, broadcast over UDP. It’s a little unhinged that this is how computers work. And yet here we are.

You can:

• wake saved computers from iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Siri, and Shortcuts
• add computers to Control Center and your Home Screen widgets
• scan your network from the Mac companion to find and save devices
• customize names, icons, and colors for each machine
• sync everything quietly through iCloud

Less like home automation. More like a very targeted grudge against getting out of your chair.

LightReadr

A calm EPUB reader for books you already own, built for the moment when you actually want to read instead of manage a reading app.

Import books from Files, browse a clean cover-based library, and open a full-screen reader that knows when to disappear. Tap the page for controls, jump through chapters, tune the type, margins, line height, and theme, then get back to the sentence you came for.

You can:

• import EPUB books from Files
• browse covers and book details in a clean local library
• read full screen with quiet, tap-to-show controls
• adjust font size, font, margins, line height, and theme per book
• keep your place and reading settings in step through iCloud
• ask for a recap so far on supported Apple Intelligence devices

Less like a bookshelf trying to become a social network. More like opening the book and letting the room get quiet.

Redirector

A small Safari extension for teaching certain links to take the route you actually wanted.

Make local rules that catch top-level page requests and send them somewhere better. Turn new Reddit into old Reddit, clean up a recurring URL, or build a very specific detour with a regular expression and a few capture groups.

You can:

• redirect pages in Safari on Mac, iPhone, and iPad
• build and preview rules with regular expressions and capture substitutions
• order rules by priority and add Allow / Stop exceptions
• grant access only to the source and destination sites each rule needs
• keep every rule on your device, with no account, analytics, or remote rule server

Less like changing how the web works. More like putting up tiny, extremely specific detour signs.

Pinky Swear

You and a friend, in separate locations, holding your pinky fingers up to a webcam until a computer decides you’re both doing it at the same time — and takes a photo. This is a real thing that exists on the internet.

The app watches your hands in real time, waits for both sides to commit, and when the moment lands it captures a little polaroid of you both. You can save it. You can share it. It is a document of two people being very earnest over WebRTC.

No accounts. No downloads. Just a room code, a pinky, and a complete lack of self-consciousness.
