the-validator — Stress-test a new business idea before spending time or money. Kill-shot test included.
the-launcher — Go-to-market plan once you've decided: 30/60/90 roadmap, customer zero, revenue sequencing.
the-untangler — Diagnose an existing underperforming business. Finds the real problem, not the story.
the-assessor — Structured analysis for capital allocation decisions. Scenario modeling, bias audits.
warren-mode — Investment analysis in Buffett's voice and framework. Margin of Safety scored 1–10.
scale-mode — Find what breaks at 2x before it breaks. Bottleneck identification.
profit-engine — Find where profit is hiding: undermonetized assets, non-obvious buyers.
negotiator-mode — Map leverage, walk-away points, and concession strategy before high-stakes talks.
marketer-mode — Zero-dollar marketing strategy for solo creators. Never more than three priorities.
grant-getter — Grant fit triage before you write a word. Funder psychology, reviewer objections.
legal-triage — DIY vs. lawyer assessment for small-business legal questions. Risk screen first. (Not a lawyer, not legal advice.)
the-unasked — Question design upstream of everything. Its only output is better questions.
murder-board — Hostile rehearsal: a rotating bench of experts grills your plan, one question at a time.
the-scout — Scenario mapping: 3–5 futures with tradeoffs tagged, including the one where the plan fails.
the-panel — Five named specialists review independently; a Chair synthesizes.
marv-mode — Old-school value engineering: hands your plan back cheaper, simpler, harder to break.

Red Pencil Editor — writing coaching (repo, site)

Both are compatible with academic-integrity / "no AI rewriting" pledges — they mark without fixing.

Scholar Modes — thinking constraints (repo, site)

librarian — Annotated map of academic-quality sources with verified links. No summaries, just the map.

Educational / Professional Apps

SyllabusView — SyllabusView turns a course into an explorable world, so educators can build once and use forever, moving from the 10,000-foot view to the footnotes without losing focus. Students get the same material after class, so the course becomes a world they can revisit and explore instead of a static slide deck.

DriveDossier — Preserve Information. Preserve Value. DriveDossier is the memory layer for buying and owning a car. Capture the evidence, compare the candidates, and preserve the history from test drive to resale.

Schrödinger's Box — Once a day, the app presents a single paradox, ethical dilemma, or thought experiment drawn from philosophy, science, and moral reasoning. You must choose. There is no neutral option, no skipping, and no undo.

IdeaAddiction — One intellectually devastating fact per day—strange, true, rigorously sourced, designed to rewire how you see the world. The tone is bratty and self-aware. The content is deadly serious.

FractalView — An imagination tool that makes jumping orders of magnitude intuitive.

Creative / Wellness Apps

BreathCube — A breathing exercise built on Minimal Viable Design. A white 3D cube floats in black space, rotating to reveal breathing instructions on each face. The cube's physical rotation creates a meditative rhythm.

UnicornKick — Most people live smaller than they have to. The marathon never gets run. The album never gets recorded. Unicorn Kick closes the gap between who you are and who you could become.

Clearing Meditations — A mindfulness app offering desk-bound users genuine encounters with specific natural entities and phenomena. Every session focuses on a real, specific thing—never generic ambience. Ready to enter the Clearing?

Ephemerality — A private digital sanctuary for noticing and preserving what makes you feel alive. Not social media. Not a gamified gratitude journal. A quiet, beautiful space to capture fleeting moments.

LayerNote — The journal that never erases. Write your life again and again on the same board. The old layers stay underneath. You just keep making the next version stronger.

Attunement — Most adults operate with a five-word emotional vocabulary. Emotional granularity—the ability to make fine-grained distinctions between feelings—is trainable. Begin your Attunement.

HappyHumanist — Thriving isn't a feeling, it's a Practice. A daily practice for cultivating character, grounded in classical philosophy.

WalkAway — Watches your AI tools, lets you literally walk away, and pings your phone the instant the job's done—or needs a 10-second nudge. You hit 'run,' you stand up, stretch, grab coffee, do yoga, breathe.

Games / Play

StoneWright — A contemplative building game. You have a pile of stones. You have a space to fill—a gap in a wall, a cairn to complete, an arch to span. You pick a stone, you place it, you see if it holds. The pile is finite but generous. There's no single solution. There's your solution.

Dreamwood — Imagine your own world. Whisper its name. Grow your dream with a friend.

BadMeditator — Zen games for people who can't sit still. Instead of guidance or goals, it offers simple, tactile experiences—stacking stones, raking sand, watching smoke drift—that quietly calm the mind through play. No streaks. No guilt. Just attention, trained badly.

PopsicleBridge — Build stronger, learn faster. A focused, educational physics simulator designed for the classic popsicle-stick bridge competition. Prototype, test, and refine your designs digitally before ever touching a real stick or bottle of glue. Also available at popsiclestickbridge.com for computer users — even better for real STEM engineering.

Sensorium — The first perceptual training app that treats your senses like muscles and turns feeling alive into a measurable, gamified, addictive skill.

LandArt Studio — A nature craft studio for your iOS device. Choose a landscape—forest floor, beach, meadow, or mountaintop. Pick a season. Gather stones, leaves, twigs, shells, and petals from your forage pile. Arrange them into mandalas, cairns, spirals, or whatever emerges. No scores. No streaks. No timers. Just the quiet satisfaction of making something with what the world provides.

PassTheStory — Transforms the phone from a consumption portal into a ritual object for collaborative storytelling. Parent and child open the app together. One speaks or types a single sentence. They pass the phone. The other adds the next sentence.

Curling Chaos — A single-player, phone-first physics game where the only thing that really matters is how frantically you scrub your finger on the screen. The throw is simple. The sweeping is excessive, physical, and slightly embarrassing.

Trail Torment — Experience the magic and the misery of Ultramarathon racing in Trail Torment. Take on the legendary 32-mile Pemigewasset Loop in the White Mountains. You've got this!

Unseeing — A daily interactive illusion puzzle that will shatter your senses and blow your mind. Your brain is lying to you.

YearTree — Tend a single tree across decades. One day of real time = one year of app time. Once a year: prune your tree, change the light, watch it grow. No score, just play.

VoidSpan — VoidSpan is a game about meeting absence with imagination. The Walker comes to a gap in a small impossible place, finds a way hidden in the picture, and touches it into being.

Color Harvest — Pull the color from a masterpiece and watch it fade to a ghost as your palette fills. A quiet game about setting things right, and learning to see color like a painter.

Slingshot Racer — You're a pilot flying ballistic on real trajectories through the solar system, stealing speed from gravity to beat the clock. Mission control counts down, telemetry scrolls, you hit the launch, surf the gravity well, and the ship whips out the far side faster than it came in.

The Great Duck Race — A small-town rubber duck derby on a phone. A flood of yellow ducks pours off a bridge into a winding cartoon river. You're the race marshal: nudge drifting ducks past trouble, flick stuck ones free of pileups. The score is simple and ruthless: how many ducks make it home.
