About
Software that respects you.
I'm Sleepy. I build local-first apps, tools, and content — free, open, and yours.
Most software today rents you access to your own stuff. It phones home, shows you ads, locks features behind subscriptions, and uploads your files to someone else's computer. I think that's backwards.
SleepyDev is the opposite bet: tools that run on your machine, work offline, cost nothing, and keep their source in the open. No accounts. No telemetry. No catch. You download it, it's yours.
It started with the apps — Slumbr, a dictation tool — and it's growing into everything I make: desktop software, videos, After Effects scripts, this website, a community. Same principle behind all of it.
What that means
Local-first
Runs on your machine. Works offline. Fast, because nothing waits on a server.
Free & open
Free to use, source on GitHub. Fork it, read it, trust it.
No tracking
No ads, no analytics, no crash reporters, no third-party SDKs. Nothing phones home.
Yours
Delete the app and keep your files. You never lose access to your own work.
