I keep coming back to one idea: software should run on your machine, and the stuff you make with it should be yours.
That sounds obvious until you look at what most apps actually do. They need an account. They upload your files “to sync.” They watch what you click. They put the good features behind a subscription and the rest behind ads. Somewhere along the way “an app you own” quietly turned into “an app that rents you access to your own work.”
SleepyDev is me betting the other way. Every app here runs locally, works offline, costs nothing, and keeps its source in the open. No accounts, no telemetry, no uploads. Slumbr transcribes your voice on your PC. Whatever’s next will too.
It’s the harder path — local AI models, no analytics to lean on, no cloud to offload work to. But it’s the version of software I actually want to use, so it’s the version I’m going to build.
That’s what this build log is for — tracking it honestly as it grows.
