Make the Question Beautiful
Most of us are trying to answer the wrong question. This thinking tool helps you find, sharpen, and stay with the questions that matter — working across three modes. Reframe surfaces the question beneath the question when you feel stuck or unclear. Deepen pushes an existing question further using nine structured techniques. Sustain maps where you are in the creative season — Spring, Summer, Autumn, or Winter — and offers guidance for staying with your question through that phase. What wants to be asked.

Lucid
A migraine pattern tracker built by someone who has had migraines for over thirty years. Log your daily protocol, exercise, sleep, hydration, and nutrition. When a migraine or pre-migraine occurs, log the event. After 20 entries, Lucid produces its first pattern analysis — correlating your data to identify what actually precedes your migraines, not what usually precedes migraines in general. Includes barometric pressure tracking, a doctor-ready report, and an evidence-based supplement library.
Lucid is free to use. The AI pattern analysis layer is a one-time unlock — no subscription, ever.

Glassy
A conditions reader for open water swimmers, built by someone who swims in the ocean before most people are awake. Enter any location — or choose from a library of South African coastal spots — and Glassy fetches live weather and marine data, then translates it into plain language a swimmer can actually use.
Not raw numbers. Not a verdict. A read: what the water is doing right now, where it’s heading, and whether this is the window or the other side of it.
Includes tidal state for known tidal spots, sea surface temperature, hourly trajectory, and spot profiles for over 60 SA swim locations — from the Knysna Heads to Umdloti, the Atlantic seaboard to Walvis Bay.
Glassy is free. No account, no subscription, no ads.
Stint
You sit down to work. Three hours pass. Your neck is sore, your coffee is cold, and you’re not sure what you actually did. This is not how attention works.
The Pomodoro Technique — developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s — is one of the few productivity methods with genuine evidence behind it. The principle is simple: work in focused intervals of 25 minutes, then take a short break. After four sessions, take a longer one. The boundaries are the point. Knowing the clock is running sharpens attention. Knowing a break is coming makes it easier to stay.
Stint is a clean, minimal implementation of that method. Hit play. Work for 25 minutes. A chime sounds, and Stint automatically moves you to a five-minute break. Then back to work. After four sessions it gives you a longer rest. You don’t manage it — you just follow it.
The intervals are adjustable. Stint works for anything that benefits from timed effort and structured rest — exercise sets, practice blocks, study sprints, writing sessions. Change the durations in settings and the same logic applies.
No accounts. No subscription. No notifications asking you to upgrade. Just a timer, a chime, and the work in front of you.
Stint is free.
