Micasa – track your house from the terminal
micasa is a terminal UI that helps you track home stuff, in a single SQLite file. No cloud, no account, no subscription. Backup with cp. I built it because I was tired of losing track of everything in notes apps, and "I'll remember that"s. When do I need to clean the dishwasher filter? What's the best quote for a complete overhaul of the backyard. Oops, found some mold behind the trim, need to address that ASAP. That sort of stuff. Another reason I made micasa was to build a (hopefully useful) low-stakes personal project where the code was written entirely by AI. I still review the code and…

In plain words
Micasa is a terminal application for tracking household maintenance tasks, repairs, and quotes in a local SQLite database. It offers a vim-style interface for navigating and editing home-related information without requiring cloud storage, accounts, or subscriptions. The tool is designed for homeowners who want to organize scattered notes about tasks like filter cleaning, contractor quotes, and urgent repairs in one searchable, sortable system that backs up easily with standard file copy commands.

Bagels – TUI expense tracker2025 · github.com · ▲283Hi! I'm Jax and I've been building this cool little terminal app for myself to track my expenses and budgets! Other than challenging myself to learn Python, I built this mainly around the habit of budget tracking at the end of the day. (I tried tracking on-the-go, but the balance was always out of sync.) All data is stored in a single sqlite file, so you can export and process them all you want! The app is built using the textual API for Python! Awesome framework which feels like I'm doing webdev haha. You can check out some screenshots on gh:…

ChronoidNov 2025 · chronoid.app · ▲51Hi HN, I've been building Chronoid, a native macOS time tracker. It runs in the menu bar and automatically logs apps, windows, and file activity using macOS accessibility APIs. Everything is stored locally, no sync or cloud service. At first I tried using DuckDB as the storage engine. It looked promising for analytics, but after ~2 weeks I realized it was overkill for my needs—extra dependencies, trickier integration, and not much real benefit at the scale of a single-user app. I switched to SQLite, and it turned out to be the simpler, more reliable choice. The codebase got smaller and the…

Hello my name is Ben Ward for the past 3 years I have been remastering the financial game Wall Street Raider created by Michael Jenkins originally on DOS in 1986. It has been a rough journey but I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just recently redid the website and thought maybe the full story of how this project came to be would interest you all. Thank you for reading.
