Aporia

Aporia is a free, searchable archive of wisdom from across human history — philosophers, poets, activists, artists, rappers, and writers spanning every age, culture, and tradition. From Aristotle to Angela Davis. From Homer to Kendrick Lamar. From Marcus Aurelius to bell hooks.

The database is built from four open sources — Quotable, the Philosophers API, ZenQuotes, and Wikiquote — and grows automatically every day. Every quote is free to read, save, and share. A "Contemplating Our World Today" feature uses AI to surface themes that feel resonant with the moment — and pulls matching quotes instantly.

Named for the Socratic concept of productive puzzlement — the moment you realize you don't know as much as you thought, which is precisely when real learning begins. Completely free, no ads, no subscriptions, no data collected — ever.

Inspired by a friend of Rob's — one of the deepest, most philosophical thinkers you'll ever meet. Someone who never lets a conversation stay shallow, who always finds the thread worth pulling, who makes you feel like you haven't thought hard enough about anything until you've talked to him about it. He knows who he is.

Mel: The Book Tracker and Reading Accomplishment App

Mel is a personal book tracker that lives entirely on your device. Search Google Books, Open Library, and Hardcover to find any title, mark what you've read or want to read, rate books in 0.25-star increments, and write reviews that appear as initials only to protect your privacy.

The Discover tab learns from what you've read and loved — recommending similar titles as your library grows. Badges reward reading milestones: first book, 10 books, 50 books, a full year of reading. Set your own annual goals and watch the progress bar fill.

My Stats goes deep — pages per day, pages per month, books read year over year, and your average days to finish a book. Completely free, no ads, no subscriptions. Your library stays on your device — nothing is ever sold or shared.

enrique — the time-out app for learning

Enrique is a screen-time tool, not a content app — it turns the moment a child unlocks their phone into a quick, curriculum-aligned question they have to answer (or skip, within a daily limit) before the phone unlocks fully.

Questions are calibrated to feel achievable, not frustrating, and pulled from public-domain sources — NAEP released test items, structured Wikidata facts, and algorithmically generated math problems — never scraped content or unreviewed AI-generated questions.

Like everything we build: completely free, no ads, no subscriptions. Crash logs stay on-device; nothing is sent anywhere unless a parent manually submits a problem report.

Named after Enrique, my wife's best friend's husband, who suggested the idea with the belief that there should be more to a child's screen time that can help keep their minds sharp and utilize the knowledge they have learned from their educations.

Just Help — Always the first to help.

Just Help is a national locator for people who need help — and have no idea where to start. Food pantries. Emergency shelters. Free clothing. Rent and utility assistance. Holiday toy giveaways and Thanksgiving meal programs. One app, one zip code, every resource nearby.

What makes Just Help different: we crawl and aggregate data from the Salvation Army, St. Vincent de Paul, Community Action Agencies, Feeding America, Toys for Tots, the USDA, HUD, and dozens more — so results aren't filtered by Google's SEO algorithm. The small church running a Tuesday food pantry shows up the same as the national chain. Users can report outdated listings and every record goes through editorial review before going live.

Just Help also exposes a free public API so local government agencies, county social services, and community organizations can pull this data directly into their own websites. Free to use, no ads, no data collected — ever.

Bonnie's Pantry

Bonnie's Pantry is a free kitchen companion designed for the way real families actually cook — where you open the fridge and have no idea what's in it, buy a second jar of peanut butter because you couldn't remember if you had one, or give up on meal planning because you don't know where to start.

The app works across four connected modules. Inventory lets you track everything in your kitchen — search from a database of over a million grocery products, set quantities and units, and always know what you have. Shopping Lists build from that same catalog: check off items as you shop, and everything you buy gets added to your inventory automatically. Log what you spent at the end of the trip, and it goes into your spending history.

Recipes are matched to what you already own — ranked by the percentage of ingredients you have on hand. Missing something? Add it to your shopping list in one tap. Add it to your meal plan from the same screen. If a recipe isn't in the database, paste it in yourself and it saves to your own private collection. The Meal Planner covers the next 30 days — assign recipes to breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack slots, or log when you're eating out with the restaurant name, meal, and cost. Over time, the Metrics dashboard shows your food spending by week, month, and year; average calorie consumption; how often you eat different food categories; and your adherence rate to dietary preferences like Keto, Whole30, Gluten-Free, and more.

Free, no ads, no subscriptions, no data collected — ever. Powered by USDA FoodData Central, TheMealDB, and Edamam nutritional data.

Named after Bonnie Poole — Rob's wife. She's always so busy doing so much for our family that she often forgets what we already have in the house and buys more of it, or struggles to meal plan because we don't remember what we have. I want an app that can help you do everything you can think of to make dinner and shopping less stressful — and I can only hope for it to help you show as much love and care in creating meals for your family as she shows for us on a regular basis.

Pable — The History App Full of Goodies

Most "this day in history" apps treat a fact as a flat trivia card. Pable does one thing differently: the same daily card gets richer the more it's annotated. A dollar amount mentioned in a historical event becomes tangible the moment it's shown in today's terms.

Each day surfaces one historical event tied to today's date. Any dollar amount in the description becomes a tappable chip — tap it, and it expands in place to show the inflation-adjusted value today, no new screen required.

Built on two free, no-API-key-required data sources: Wikipedia's "On this day" feed, and a static U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics CPI dataset for the inflation context.

Named for Mr. William Pable, an 8th-grade history teacher known for demanding work and bringing the American Revolution to life — the kind of teacher you either loved or struggled with, and the reason history stuck for good.

Trust Your Eyes

AI-generated images. Bot accounts pretending to be real people. Viral posts built on fabricated claims. They're everywhere — and they're designed to be invisible to the naked eye. Trust Your Eyes runs three simultaneous checks on any social media content you encounter: AI detection, fact verification against the Google Fact Check database, and bot probability analysis. All at once. All in plain English. Free, permanently.

The extension works on Facebook, Instagram, X, TikTok, YouTube, Threads, and Reddit. Right-click any post to check it. Nothing is stored. No account required. The check runs, the result appears, and when you move on, it's gone. The companion web app handles links, pasted text, and direct file uploads — image, audio, or screenshot — for anyone on mobile where extensions aren't available.

Unlike our other apps, this wasn't one where we felt it would be fair to use a singular name. We're all being duped, daily, by AI, bots and false information that is meant to keep us guessing — if not to convince us of what we are seeing, than to convince us to disbelieve what is true. While older people in our communities may be most susceptible to the dishonest intent behind many of these posts, they are far from alone. We're using AI to battle AI. For once, it feels like you have tech working on your side. You've been taught not to trust your eyes. With our app, you can again.
