Beautifully designed, privacy-focused, and packed with features.

Astra Browser is a privacy-first browser built for a faster, safer and more focused web experience. Only for Windows-on-ARM devices (e.g. Surface Pro X, Snapdragon-based laptops). Not sure? Check Settings → System → About → System type on your PC — if it says "x64-based processor", use the option above instead. Every feature in Astra is designed with intention — no bloat, no dark patterns, no compromise on your privacy or performance. Astra is not affiliated with or endorsed by Mozilla or Zen Browser. A clutter-free, icon-only sidebar that gives your content more room to breathe. Bookmarks, history, and settings are automatically backed up right on your device — no cloud, no third party…from astra-browser-website.vercel.app

  • I made OwnTime to balance between competing priorities in my life. The idea is based on two main influences: the concept of "roles" from "The 5 Choices" (2015), and my repeated failure to effectively implement time blocking due to the necessary flexibility in my role. The app allows you to define time budgets, which are not much more than a few mutually exclusive countdown timers. The UX is essentially that of a chess clock for an arbitrary number of players with configurable time. The whole point of the app is to kick you out of the running role/priority when its time is up.
