Open-source tools — a consulting-grade PowerPoint toolbar, a Frisian spell checker for Word, Android apps that generate themselves, a launcher you can talk to, a private bridge between your Android phone and your Mac, clean-room drivers that revive dead hardware, family games you can play without internet, and a sheep that walks across your Mac desktop.

The Instrumenta Shapes tab in the PowerPoint ribbon

Instrumenta

A free and open-source consulting-style PowerPoint toolbar — the alignment, formatting, and slide-craft shortcuts that paid add-ins charge for, given away. The flagship: years of polish and the widest reach of anything here.

The Instrumenta Keys console listing its keyboard shortcuts

Instrumenta-Keys

A keyboard-shortcut companion for Instrumenta — keeps the toolbar's commands one keystroke away so the slide work stays in flow.

Iepen Fryske Stavering in Word for Mac, with squiggles and the suggestions panel

Iepen Fryske Stavering

Frisian spell checking for Microsoft Word, including Word for Mac, which has none of its own. Red and blue squiggles with suggestions, based on the official word list (Foarkarswurdlist), including its preferred forms. Mark text as Frisian and Word leaves it alone, while Dutch and English stay with Word's own checker. Everything runs inside Word on your own device; your text never leaves it.

The Plakke switcher: a frosted strip of clip cards

Plakke

⌘Tab, but for your clipboard. Hold ⌥, tap V, release to paste — your last 10 clips in a frosted strip you flick through with one hand, without leaving the keyboard or looking away. The cards know what they hold: code, links, colors, images, files. Images are read with OCR in the background, text can be reflowed or reformatted on its way out, and a screenshot can be cropped right in the preview — with the window border found and trimmed for you. Password-manager copies, and anything shaped like a key or a card number, never touch the disk and vanish after a minute.

Golle's table view: an album collection with an editable record beside it

Golle

A free personal database for your Mac. Make tables with your own fields and keep records of anything: record collections, reading lists, inventories, recipes. See them as a table, gallery, form, board, calendar, map, chart or timeline. Link tables, add formulas, lookups and rules, scan a barcode to fill in a book or album, and print grouped reports. Each database is one file you can copy and back up, optionally locked with a password and Touch ID. Local only: no account, no sync, no tracking.

Frisian spell checking for macOS

A small installer that adds Frisian spell checking to macOS itself, so it works system-wide in Pages, Mail, Notes, TextEdit, Safari, Chrome and most other Mac apps. It uses the Fryske Akademy's official word list, based on the Foarkarswurdlist, converted so the Mac reads it reliably. No administrator rights and no extra software needed.

Frysk Hânwurdboek for macOS

Turns the Fryske Akademy's free Linux edition of the Ientalich Frysk Hânwurdboek (2016) into a native Mac app for Apple Silicon and Intel. The script contains nothing from the dictionary itself: it downloads the original from the Akademy, converts the old Python 2 program to Python 3, checks every entry and builds the app on your own Mac.

Awesome Frisian

A curated list of everything worth knowing for West Frisian: courses, dictionaries and spell checkers, apps, speech and text data, speech recognition models, translation and language technology, media and organisations. The Afûk's and Fryske Akademy's own resources come first, every link is checked, and the licence is given where it is known.

On-device AI for Android

iappyxOS: my apps iappyxOS: describe a new app A generated app running

iappyxOS

Generate real installed Android APKs on your phone from a plain-language description. Describe an app to your favorite AI, and iappyxOS builds, signs, and installs it on-device — no server, no app store, no code. 38 native bridges give generated apps real hardware access.

iappyxOS Launcher home screen Launcher with a compass and map widget A generated launcher widget

iappyxOS Launcher

A programmable Android home screen. It's a full launcher — icons, folders, dock, app drawer, universal search, profiles — that also lets you talk to it. Describe a widget or live wallpaper ("hourly weather as colored bars", "a battery-reactive lava lamp") and it generates a sandboxed HTML/JS surface that runs on-device.

Android and Mac

Brêge Messages window on the Mac Brêge on Android, connected

Brêge

Your Android phone and your Mac, together. Messages and calls, notifications with reply, a shared clipboard, files both ways, phone folders in Finder, the phone's screen and apps in Mac windows, and the phone as camera and microphone. Push the pointer off the edge of the screen and the Mac's own mouse and keyboard carry on over on the phone; hand a tablet a second display of the Mac to drag windows onto; ring, lock and turn the Mac down from a watch — all directly over your own network. No account, no cloud: every connection is end-to-end encrypted, and Brêge stays silent on networks you haven't chosen. A Mac menu bar app and an Android app on a shared Rust core.

Hardware revival

AI Hardware Revival

Bringing abandoned hardware back to life with clean-room drivers, reverse-engineered with AI. First up: the Canon CanoScan 8000F flatbed scanner, running with zero Canon software — a pure-Python reference driver on Apple Silicon, a native driverless macOS scanner (an eSCL / AirScan bridge, so it appears right in Image Capture), a C SANE backend, and an Android USB-OTG port. All recovered from the vendor firmware — no Windows, no emulator.

Games

A finished Fryskle game: WALM guessed in six tries

Fryskle

A daily Frisian word game: guess the word of the day in six tries, with words of 4, 5, 6 or 7 letters from the official word list (Foarkarswurdlist). Accents are forgiven, a free daily hint and a word finder help when you're stuck, and after the game a link shows what the word means. Runs entirely in the browser; no account, no tracking.

Heiti's Game Suite

29 family games to play together — no internet needed.

In Frisian, Dutch and English; no account, nothing goes online.

Desktop Pet for macOS

The eSheep is back, on your Mac. A native port of Adriano Petrucci's desktopPet: a little sheep walks along the bottom of your screen, climbs onto your windows, rides along when you drag them, and can be picked up and tossed. It plays the same pets as the Windows version and downloads the community pets straight from the original project. Lives in the menu bar.
