What I’m working on
I run Fore Studio, a small product studio I started in 2020, and build Depost AI alongside it. It began as client work; these days I only ship my own products. This page is what I am actually working on right now.
Last updated September 11, 2026
Current focus
- Flit just shipped. It is a dictation app for macOS that runs entirely on your Mac, and the first Mac app I have sold. Launch week is about listening: every mishearing someone reports is a fix in the next release.
- Depost AI 2 is live. It is an agent-based content team for LinkedIn that studies what performs, writes in your voice, designs the graphics, and schedules the result. Nothing publishes until you approve it.
- Rimlight, a screen-recording studio for macOS, is the next local-first Mac app under Fore Studio. One-time purchase, like Flit.
- Growing StartupBase and AcquireBase, the two web platforms that have been running for years.
- Shipping smaller tools when a daily annoyance gets loud enough. Emoji Anywhere came out of exactly that.
- Writing more about launches and the business side, less about framework tutorials.
