About

I'm a fine art photographer based in Northern California, USA. I also run a consulting firm, which means I spend a lot of time in meetings watching my laptop battery die in real time. So, I built the Battery Beggar as my first app. I built it because the standard battery icon has no emotional range, and I felt that was a problem worth solving. And I wanted funnier notifications to motivate me to get off my butt and plug in. I'm not a developer by training. Learned some python, html, css, js, etc in the past through youtube and books. And full disclosure, I use Codex/Claude to help me get over the hump of starting projects.

Tenoa - Save anything. Keep it as files you own, on your own disk

Tenoa saves what you find (pages, images, PDFs, YouTube with transcripts) as plain Markdown files in a folder you own. A local model writes summaries and tags on your machine. Search by meaning. Devices sync directly to each other, encrypted, with no server that can read your library. Delete the app and your files are still there. Launching September 1 on desktop, with free iPhone and iPad apps.
