Tools I Use
A minimalist, high-leverage list of the software, hardware, and bio-hacks I use to run my business and life. No fluff, no sponsorships – just what works. I only list tools I personally use and pay for.
Built myself
Excel config generator
The core of everything. 843 schemas, ~9,000 properties. One file drives 95% of the API endpoints in the backend. Not a tool I downloaded — a tool I designed because nothing else did what I needed.
In-app OPL tracker
Built directly into cmsapp. Tracks operational performance without a third-party integration.
Life KPI Tracker
One dashboard for SaaS metrics, real estate cashflow, savings rate, and fitness data. No subscription, no account, no data leaving your browser. Just a HTML file. (free download below)
