A small software workshop
SMALL APPS.
GOOD
MANNERS.
Lakpa makes little apps that do one job, do it properly, and otherwise keep out of your way. Four so far. We’re in no rush.
Have a look roundNo pop-ups. No newsletter. You’re welcome.
The apps
FOUR LITTLE APPS.
ONE JOB EACH.
Each one exists because something was mildly annoying and nobody else seemed bothered. Pick the annoyance you recognise.
Read less. Learn more.
An RSS reader that learns what you actually read, then brews you the best twenty-five articles each day. The other nine hundred can wait.
feedwise.meDon’t get stranded mid-prompt.
A fuel gauge for your AI subscriptions. See how much quota you have left, and whether it’ll last until the next reset.
onfumes.appOi. Got a minute?
A quicker way to get your AI agent’s attention. Hit a hotkey, say what you want, carry on. It’ll nudge you when it’s done.
oioioi.appSorry, your menu bar is full.
A tidy ledge for the menu bar icons macOS 27 couldn’t find room for, and a polite way to decide who gets the good seats.
sillformac.appHow things are done round here
HOUSE
RULES.
Not a manifesto. More of a note on the fridge.
- One job each. If an app wants a second job, it gets a sibling instead.
- Honest labels. Every app says what it won’t do. Usually on the front page.
- No nagging. No dark patterns, no guilt trips, no “are you sure you want to leave?”
- A person replies. Write to support and you get whoever built the thing.
The door’s open
SAY
HELLO.
Questions, bug reports, or an idea for a small app the world is mildly annoyed not to have. All welcome.
hello@lakpa.appNow and then
THE OCCASIONAL
EMAIL.
When there’s a new app, or a big update to one of these four. A handful of emails a year, and no tracking pixels.
