Small tools. Real impact.

Each app tackles one problem, and does it well.

v1.5.1
MindTab

Browser extension that cleans your feed, blocks scam ads, helps you write better, and keeps you learning. No data sent anywhere.

v0.5.0
Driftleaf

So your thoughts don't drift. A local-first, encrypted-by-default notes app for desktop. No accounts, no cloud, no telemetry.

v1.4.0
Before It's Gone

Offline-first desktop app or self-hosted PWA to track food expiry dates across your fridge, freezer, and pantry. No account, no cloud. All data stays on your device.

v1.0.3
aether-packages

Shared npm packages behind our apps: storage adapters and a React UI kit under the @aetherAssembly scope. AGPL-3.0, open to reuse.

Built in the open, for everyone

We believe your tools shouldn't phone home. AetherAssembly apps run locally and are free to inspect, fork, and extend.
