About

Solo developer, based in Lyon, France. I build small, private tools for people dealing with something hard on their own. I am currently working on Aridelle: a private case file where you log the facts as they happen, keep the documents that back them up, and can ask an AI assistant about your own file, deciding item by item what it is allowed to read. It came out of watching someone close to me go through a family conflict with everything scattered across two phones and a drawer. Keeping a file is free. The AI part is what I charge for, because the people who need this most are usually the ones who cannot afford a lawyer.

What do you actually do with the evidence you collect?

I'm launching Aridelle on Thursday, and I'd like to ask something before I do.

Aridelle came out of watching someone close to me go through a family conflict. What struck me was not that they lacked evidence. They had it all: the texts, the letters, the dates. It was scattered across two phones, a drawer and their own memory, and every time they had to explain what had happened, they rebuilt the whole story from scratch.

So I built a private case file: you log a fact with its date, attach the documents that back it up, and you can ask an AI assistant about your own file, deciding item by item what it is allowed to read.

Here is what I'm unsure about, and where I'd rather hear from you than guess.

Aridelle - Document the facts. Keep the thread. Build your case.

Aridelle is a private space for anyone caught in a conflict or a dispute. Log each fact as it happens, keep the documents that back it up, then ask the assistant what to do about it. Sometimes the answer is nothing. Sometimes it is two registered letters, and it writes them for you, ready to print and post. It only knows what you show it: you decide item by item. Encrypted, hosted in France, never used for training. Free to keep your file; the AI is 12 EUR/month. Information, not legal advice.
