Rise-n-Shine Software

We built Stenographer.AI because release notes usually happen too late, with too little context, and after someone has already spent too much time digging through merged PRs.

The product connects to GitHub, turns merged pull requests into editable summary drafts, and gives teams a simple workflow to review and approve what s ready to ship. The goal is to make release communication faster, cleaner, and less painful for engineering teams.

What we wanted to fix:

• Manual release note writing at the end of a sprint

• Inconsistent summaries across teams and repos

• Too much time spent translating technical PRs into stakeholder-friendly updates

• No clear review step before publishing

My journey began with a simple, shared frustration: modern software has become too bloated, too slow, and too invasive. Applications that should be simple are now weighed down by unnecessary features, constant background processes, and business models that don't put the user first.

So, I decided to build something different with three core principles:

1. Performance by Default: Software should be fast. Instant-on, responsive, and light on system resources. We achieve this by choosing modern, efficient technologies like Rust and Tauri, ensuring our applications respect your hardware.

2. Simplicity in Design: An intuitive user interface is paramount. Hence the focus on clean, uncluttered design that makes our software a pleasure to use, stripping away the noise to focus on the essential tasks you need to accomplish.

3. Privacy as a Foundation: Your data is yours. My commitment to offline-first development means my applications process your information on your machine, not in the cloud. I build software that you can trust, with no hidden telemetry or data harvesting.
