Open source

33 tools I build in the open

I build open-source tools for the Linux desktop, mostly around Wayland, Hyprland, and Omarchy. By day I'm a web developer working in .NET and JavaScript.

Most of these started as fixes for things that bugged me in my own workflow, so they tend to be local-first and keyboard-friendly. My main project at the moment is Wayscriber, a ZoomIt-style screen annotation tool for Linux and Wayland.

Omarchy Nexus

A keyboard-driven cockpit for Omarchy: media controls, system metrics, quick settings, clipboard history, and notes.

dotnet-anti-slop

Roslyn analyzers that catch real reliability and performance mistakes in C#, ASP.NET Core, and EF Core code.

Linux desktop & Wayland

Native tools for annotating, capturing, and driving a Wayland session.

Omascribe

A small C++23/Qt 6 overlay for drawing live annotations on the Omarchy and Hyprland desktop.

SharpMarker

A .NET 11 and SkiaSharp screen annotation tool for Linux and Wayland, with drawing tools, boards, capture, zoom, and persistent sessions.

Keyway

A small Rust/GTK4 keystroke visualizer for Wayland, handy for demos and screen recordings.

SpeechToText

Local push-to-talk transcription for Linux, with GPU acceleration and Wayland/X11 output.

Developer workflow & automation

The everyday glue: launchers, worktrees, capture pipelines, and secrets.

ff

Fire-and-forget launchers that run commands as detached systemd jobs or in hidden Hyprland terminals.

Treeist

A Git worktree helper with a compact wt CLI, interactive pickers, and cleanup workflows.

Yummy

A Mattermost bridge for the pi and codex coding-agent CLIs, with resumable sessions and progress updates.

QuickOTP

A cross-platform TOTP manager with a terminal UI, QR support, and 2FAS backup import/export. The popup is built for hotkey use: Super+Shift+A, type a few letters, hit Enter, and the code is on the clipboard.

How I build

  • Native where it matters.

    I reach for Rust, C++, QML, or .NET when a tool needs to feel fast and fit the platform.

  • Local first.

    Private data and everyday workflows should stay on the machine whenever possible.

  • Keyboard friendly.

    Fast paths for the things you do all day, without hiding how anything works.

  • Built from real needs.

    Every tool here started as a fix for something that kept getting in my way.

The same hands build client platforms: .NET architecture, AI integrations, and rebuilds of systems that outgrew themselves.
