TD-001 Firefox extension
A video player being squeegeed clean of pink slime.

InvidioSlop

Takes the AI slop out of your YouTube feed.

Hides or marks mass-produced AI video on YouTube and any Invidious instance. It works from a public blocklist, community reports and YouTube's own “altered content” label, and you decide which of those hide a video and which only mark it.

Licence
GPL-3.0
Needs
Firefox
Account
None, unless you want to file reports

The catch Firefox only. A flagged video gets a banner on its watch page, but nothing stops it playing.

TD-002 Self-hosted server + apps
An envelope with a ticket reading 481 920 popping out, and a key.

Codemail

Sign-in codes, without the inbox.

A server that receives email for your domains, pulls out the sign-in code or confirmation link, and shows it to you the moment it lands. One Go binary with its database inside. No mail server, no push service and no AI model to rent.

Licence
AGPL-3.0
Needs
A machine with ports 25, 80 and 443 open
Account
Passkeys only

The catch Whoever runs the server can read every code it receives. That is why it is built for you to run. There is a public server at codegrab.me, and using it means trusting us.

TD-003 Community service
A balance scale: a pink slime blob outweighs a bowl of stars.

aislop-server

A slop list nobody can buy their way onto, or off.

The shared database behind InvidioSlop. People report videos, others confirm or contest, and votes are weighted by a reputation you can only earn by agreeing with lots of different established people. Anyone can download the whole list without an account.

Licence
AGPL-3.0
Needs
Docker and Postgres
Account
A passkey and a nickname. No email

The catch No account recovery, at all. Lose your passkeys and the account is gone, so add a second one.

TD-004 Chrome extension
Contact cards flying from a box into a folder.

in↔out

Your LinkedIn contacts, in a file you own.

Exports your connections, your followers and your company page's followers to JSONL. It runs in your own browser with your own login, and the data goes to your downloads folder and nowhere else.

Licence
AGPL-3.0
Needs
Chrome and a LinkedIn login
Output
JSONL

The catch This very likely breaks LinkedIn's user agreement, and they can restrict your account for it. You also become responsible for other people's personal data once you export it.

the fine print, in normal-sized type

1

Software got cheap to make. The price tags didn't notice.

We build with AI agents. A person picks the problem, makes the design calls and tests the result. The agents write the code. Work that used to need a team and a funding round now needs one stubborn person, so we pass the saving on. All of it.

2

You host it, so nobody can take it away.

Most of what we make is a single binary or a browser extension. Run it on your own machine and it keeps working whether we do or not. Where we run a public server for convenience, the listing says what you'd be trusting us with.

3

Every item prints its catch.

Free software that hides its limits still costs you an afternoon. Each listing says what the thing won't do, in the same size type as what it will. If the catch is a dealbreaker, you found out here and not after the install.

The honesty box

It works like a roadside stall. Take what you need.

If something here saved you time or a subscription, and you want more of it to exist, put a few dollars in the tin. It pays for the servers and the hours.

If you can't, or would rather not, the price is still $0.00 and nobody will email you about it.
