Indie maker building thinking products

About

I’m an indie product maker building tools for thinking, curiosity, and everyday ideas. Currently building Spur Notes — a local-first notes app for writing normally and branching thoughts when they need their own note — and Ideas, an AI-assisted exploration app for the small things that catch your attention before they disappear. I care about simple UX, local-first software, thoughtful AI interaction, and building tools that leave room for the person using them.

Spur Notes - Think first. Write normally. Branch when your thoughts do.

Spur Notes is a simple notes app that lets your thoughts branch without losing their connections. Write normally, create a Related Note when an idea goes somewhere else, then copy the whole structure as text when you need it — into an AI tool, a document, or whatever comes next. Built local-first, with no account required to get started.
