Periscope

Turn your Apple TV into your own private internet tunnel

What it does

What's new: an Apple TV can now be the always-on server. The device already in your living room becomes the thing your phone and laptop connect back to, so nothing else has to stay switched on. Periscope routes you through your own home rather than a VPN company's servers, so you browse on your real home IP — fewer bank fraud flags, home-country streaming that works, none of the captchas commercial VPN IPs trigger. WireGuard under the hood. No record of what you connect to.

Periscope lets you set up a VPN using only your own devices — now including the Apple TV in your living room, which can act as the always-on home server. You control your connection, your hardware, and your privacy.

Periscope routes your connection through your own home — your hardware, your data, your privacy. No third party logging or selling your activity. Everything a VPN gives you — without handing your data to a stranger. Your connection routes through hardware you own rather than a VPN company's servers, and nothing in our system records what you connect to. There is no browsing history for us to log or sell, because there is nowhere for it to go. WireGuard's cryptography — Curve25519, ChaCha20-Poly1305 — end to end between your device and your home, so a shared network sees encrypted packets and nothing more. How it works, in detail . Use your trusted home connection while traveling, with smart…from getperiscope.com

  • 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.
