Every system here, from flagship SaaS to micro-SaaS earners and self-running daemons, and developer-labs research. Each case file links to the live product and source where public.
Everything after the music.
You finished the track. Getting it heard is seven disconnected jobs: finding the right contacts, writing a pitch that does not sound like a template, sending it, chasing it, and working out afterwards whether any of it landed. TAP does all of that in one place, for £59 a release with no subscription. It was built for agencies first, then rebuilt for the artists doing it themselves.

Mobile workflow control centre, the phone's front door.
Most of my work happens at a desk, and quite a lot of it does not. Cockpit is the layer that makes the running agents reachable from a phone: start a job, read what came back, approve or kill it. It moved off the Mac and onto a server in mid-2026, which is when it stopped being a convenience and started being the thing the week runs on.
Cloud desktop infrastructure and container sandbox engine for autonomous AI agents.
An agent that can only read files is safe and not very useful. An agent with a shell on your laptop is useful and not very safe. open-desktop is the middle: a throwaway containerised desktop an agent can be given, break, and be handed a fresh copy of. It is the public one of my research repos, so the source is there to read.
