Stao (https://stao.app) — a simple stopwatch/timer for standing desk users. Nags you to stand, tracks your streak, zero setup. macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, Android.

Linetris (https://apps.apple.com/app/id6759858457) — daily puzzle where you fill an 8×8 grid with Tetris-like pieces to clear lines. Wordle-meets-Tetris with leaderboards.

Also slowly writing more on my blog at https://tskulbru.dev — mostly notes on side-project economics, Tauri, and whatever rabbit hole I fell into that week.

- Plask ( https://plask.dev ) — Google Analytics (GA4) connected analytics dashboard for people who ship multiple products. I got tired of manually checking separate GA4 properties for all my apps and SaaS projects, and setting up individual MCP integrations for each felt like overkill when I just wanted a quick overview. So I built a single dashboard that connects all your GA4 properties, runs statistical anomaly detection, sends alerts when something breaks, and generates AI weekly digests. Free tier for 2 properties, Pro at $9/mo.

- Kvile ( https://kvile.app ) — A lightweight desktop HTTP client built with Rust + Tauri. Native .http file support (JetBrains/VS Code/Kulala compatible), Monaco editor, JS pre/post scripts, SQLite-backed history. Sub-second startup. MIT licensed, no cloud, your requests stay on your machine. Think Postman without the bloat and login walls.

- APIDrift ( https://apidrift.dev ) — Monitors changelogs for APIs, SDKs, and libraries you depend on so you don't get blindsided by upstream breaking changes. Scrapes docs, diffs changes, classifies severity with AI, and sends digest emails. Track your dependencies, get alerted when something breaks. Free tier covers 3 sources with weekly digests. Built with Next.js, Supabase, and Gemini Flash.

- Mockingjay ( https://apps.apple.com/app/id6758616261 ) — iOS app that records video and streams AES-256-GCM encrypted chunks to your Google Drive in real-time. By the time someone takes your phone, the footage is already safe in the cloud. Built for journalists, activists, and anyone who needs tamper-proof evidence. Features a duress PIN that wipes local keys while preserving cloud backups, and a fake sleep mode that makes the phone look powered off during recording.

- Stao ( https://stao.app ) — A simple sit/stand reminder for standing desk users. Runs in the system tray, tracks your streaks, zero setup. Available on macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android.

- MyVisualRoutine ( https://myvisualroutine.com ) — This one is personal. I have three kids, two with severe disabilities. Visual schedules (laminated cards, velcro boards) are a lifeline for non-verbal children, but they're a nightmare to manage and they don't leave the house. So I built an app that lets you create a full visual routine in about 20 seconds and take it anywhere. Choice boards, First/Then boards, day plans, 50+ preloaded activities, works fully offline. Free tier is genuinely usable. Available on iOS and Android.

- Linetris ( https://apps.apple.com/app/id6759858457 ), a daily puzzle game where you fill an 8x8 grid with Tetris-like pieces to clear lines. Think Wordle meets Tetris. Daily challenges, leaderboards, and competititve play against friends.

And much more, you can find more on my blog https://tskulbru.dev , im even doing an agentic workflow course for those who havent gotten started doing that yet. Although I guess most people here have :)

That's Plask. It connects via Google OAuth (read-only scope) and shows all your GA4 properties in one place. Sessions, users, key events, comparison deltas — the quick pulse check I wanted without navigating Google's interface six times.

The part I spent the most time on is the anomaly detection. I went with modified Z-scores using Median Absolute Deviation over a 28-day rolling window instead of standard deviation — it handles the spiky traffic patterns you get on smaller sites without crying wolf every weekend. No ML, no black box, just basic stats that run at zero cost. Alerts get classified as info/warning/critical, and you can tune sensitivity per property.

There's also a weekly digest powered by Claude Haiku that turns the numbers into a couple paragraphs of plain English every Monday morning. I built it mostly because I wanted to stop opening the dashboard on Mondays.

Stack for those interested: Next.js 16, Supabase Postgres with Drizzle ORM, Auth.js v5 (needed custom OAuth scopes that Supabase Auth doesn't support), Stripe, deployed on Vercel. Daily sync runs as a cron at 6am UTC — nothing fancy, no event streaming.

Solo project. Would genuinely appreciate feedback on the product, the anomaly detection approach, or anything else. Happy to go deep on implementation details.

Some of you may have seen Mockingjay when I shared it in the "What are you working on?" thread [1] alongside my other projects (Kvile, Stao, MyVisualRoutine, and a couple more). The response and feedback there was great, so I wanted to do a proper Show HN.

Mockingjay is an iOS app for recording encrypted video that streams to your own Google Drive in real-time — so your footage survives even if your phone doesn't.

The problem: Journalists, activists, and witnesses recording in high-risk situations face a gap in their security toolkit. Signal protects messages, Proton protects email, but if someone confiscates or destroys your phone mid-recording, the video evidence is gone. Cloud photo sync is too slow and unencrypted.

How it works:

- Video is split into 3-10s fMP4 chunks during recording - Each chunk is encrypted with AES-256-GCM (unique nonce per chunk) - Chunks upload to your Google Drive over TLS while you're still recording - Encryption keys live in the Secure Enclave, derived via PBKDF2 (600K iterations) - A duress PIN wipes local keys under coercion — cloud backup stays intact, recoverable later on a new device - C2PA Content Credentials embedded for cryptographic proof of authenticity (verifiable at contentcredentials.org) - Panic-start via Action Button — recording begins with zero friction

Your footage goes to YOUR Google Drive, not our servers. We have no ability to access or recover your content.

The duress PIN was the hardest design decision. If someone forces you to unlock, entering the secondary PIN silently wipes the Secure Enclave keys. The attacker sees a "clean" state. Your encrypted cloud chunks are safe but inaccessible from that device. You recover later on a different device with your password.

Tech stack: SwiftUI, AVFoundation, CryptoKit, GRDB (SQLite upload queue with retry/backoff), Google Drive REST API, RevenueCat, SimpleC2PA.

Free tier: 60s recordings at 720p. Pro ($29.99 lifetime): unlimited recording, 1080p, GPS metadata, C2PA credentials.

If you're interested in my other projects from that thread — Kvile (Rust/Tauri HTTP client), Stao (sit/stand reminder), MyVisualRoutine (visual routines for kids), links are all in my earlier comment [1].

Would love feedback on the security architecture and threat model.

Yes, I remember Cisco had a product like this all the way back in 2011. They could pinpoint a customer to an exact position inside a store using triangulation, they would know which shelf you spent time in front of etc. In the 15 years since then, I expect the technology is much scarier and intrusive.
