Bangalore · independent software

Kiran JD builds Mac tools for focused work.

I make practical, local-first software around voice, diagnostics, and the small loops that make a workday calmer.

Currently shipping

SpeakMac, MacWiFi, and notes from the messy middle of building, measuring, fixing, and shipping small software.

Selected work

A few shipped surfaces from the same taste: native where it matters, private by default, and small enough to understand.

Private speech-to-text for Mac. Built for quick capture, long drafts, and the moments when typing breaks the flow.

A menu bar check for the few minutes before a call, when you need to know if the network is the problem.

A tiny conversion helper for the daily irritation of seeing prices in dollars and thinking in rupees.

Notes on agents, product work, and the difference between reading more advice and shipping better loops.

I prefer simple, native tools that do one job clearly and stay out of the way.
