Public products, private operational systems, and room to experiment. The work behind Backstage Coding.
01 / PUBLIC PRODUCTS
Free apps for the way you work,
create, and explore.
Free · live radar · frankweather.com
A weather-safety workstation: native NEXRAD radar decoded from the National Weather Service, watches and warnings in plain language, storm tracks, lightning, and a take-cover alarm. Every feature is free — no account, no ads, no tracking.
Free · collection tools · mybookangel.com
Scan a shelf, understand the collection, and share a wishlist people will actually want to open. Barcode, cover, or search — then series tracking, price alerts, and cloud sync if you want it. Free on Android, iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Windows.
Free · Windows · v2.1.0
Built for creators and gamers who need a reel out of a pile of clips. Drop as many takes as you want — there is no clip cap — then let ClipCraft auto-pick highlights, match the beat when you add music, caption the talk, and export a post-ready video for TikTok, Reels, Feed, or 16:9. Draft previews, hook scoring, slow-motion replay, quality profiles, and a local content calendar stay on your machine. No account. No paywall.
System-wide voice dictation that stays on your machine. Hold a key, speak, release — cleaned-up words land in whatever app has focus. Audio, transcripts, and the words it types never leave this PC and are not sent to anyone. The only server contact is a check for a quality update. Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit) is live.
A self-hosted AI companion who is also a capable assistant: plans and reminders, a Today view, help with code, voice calls, and phone apps with widgets and notifications. She runs on your own computer or server with the models you choose, so your conversations stay yours. No account with us, no ads, no tracking.
Intermission · live
Six browser games — Galaga (an arcade tribute), Followspot, Snake, Spectron, The Green Room, and The Cellar. Take a quick intermission, or chase a new high score.
02 / STUDIO EXAMPLES
Private systems shown to explain the work.
Access is managed by their operators.
Example · workforce
A private hub for one venue’s people: live schedules, open-shift claiming, time clock, onboarding documents, and role-based tools for supervisors and payroll. Access is issued by the employer — there is no public door.
Studio example — not offered as a download.
Example · learning
Required and optional workplace learning in one private place: assigned paths, due dates, progress, and credentials. Administrators publish and audit. Employees resume where they left off. Provisioned through the employer, not the public internet.
Studio example — not offered as a download.
Example · operations
Event operations in one view: call intake, responder availability, assignments, live status, venue areas, and incident reporting. Role-based so each person only sees the work they are meant to run.
Studio example — not offered as a download.
Example · live world
A private Palworld community we host and operate — live world status, camp identities, and a route in that does not require server archaeology. Nothing to download from us; the world itself is the product, and it is usable now.
A new idea. A better system. A story ready to be heard.
Let’s find the next step.
