Building tools I actually need.

About

I'm a developer with a day job who builds things on the side. I got into solo making the way most people do — I had a problem, couldn't find a tool I liked, so I built one. Then another. Each product started as something I needed for myself, and that's the thread I want to keep following. My goal is simple: keep shipping. Keep finding problems worth solving and building the smallest useful thing that solves them. I'm still early in this journey but I'm enjoying every bit of it — the building, the shipping, and the learning that comes from putting real things out into the world. If you're also building something on the side while holding down a full-time job, I'd love to connect.

Pocket now has a 7-day free trial 🎉

When I launched Pocket, it was paid from day one.

I ve now added a 7-day free trial so you can explore the full app before deciding if it s right for you.

What financial decision do you wish you could simulate before making?

One thing I ve realized while building Pocket is that most personal finance apps do a great job showing where your money is today. But that s rarely the question I struggle with.

The questions I actually want answered are things like:

  • If I buy a new laptop today, how much later will I become debt-free?

  • If I put an extra $500 towards my loan this month, how much interest will I save?

  • If I take a vacation, what goal gets delayed?

  • If I get a raise, what s the smartest place to put the extra money?
