No bloat. No subscriptions. No accounts required.
Tools built to solve problems I actually have — shared in the finest shareware tradition.
Try everything free. Pay once if you find it useful.
Dread your Etsy Self Assessment return? This does the heavy lifting. Import your monthly Etsy statement CSVs, log expenses and business mileage, and get a complete HMRC-ready summary — all inside a single HTML file that runs in your browser with no internet required.
The same no-faff approach applied to UK eBay sellers. Import your eBay sales reports, track fees, expenses and mileage, and get everything you need for your Self Assessment return — all without a spreadsheet in sight.
A self-hosted game catalogue for serious physical game collectors. Scan a barcode and GameCat pulls everything — cover art, scores, completion times, market value — from IGDB, OpenCritic, HowLongToBeat and PriceCharting. Your collection, properly organised at last.
Every tool here started as something I actually needed. If it solves my problem properly, chances are it solves yours too.
Shareware. The original model. Download it, use it with real data, decide if it's worth the price. No time limit, no crippled features.
No accounts. No cloud sync. No subscriptions. No dark patterns. A file that does a job, runs in your browser, and gets out of the way.
I spent decades in IT — the kind of career where you end up knowing how computers actually work, rather than just how to use them. These days I describe myself as independently operational: done with the 9-to-5, but nowhere near done with building things.
The software here is what happens when you have a real problem, the skills to solve it properly, and the stubbornness to actually finish it. The Etsy Tax Tracker started because I needed one myself — sitting there each April staring at CSV exports thinking there had to be a better way.
I make tools I use every day. That means they get properly tested, properly thought through, and properly updated when something changes. Not vaporware, not abandonware — software with someone behind it.
