Apps

If it doesn't exist, build it.

I genuinely enjoy building things. When I run into a problem that no existing tool solves well, my first instinct is to figure out how to fix it. These are the two I'm most focused on right now.

I spent years juggling too many productivity apps. Todoist for tasks, Notion for notes, a separate habit tracker, a goals spreadsheet — each fine on its own, but none of them talking to each other. Every time I tried to act on a goal, the tasks were somewhere else. The habit connected to it was somewhere else again.

I wanted one place for tasks, goals, habits and notes that stayed genuinely simple instead of turning into another complicated system. So I built it.

I run commutes where I can. It's one of the best ways to get miles in without carving out separate time for it — but no tool actually understands that. Google Maps assumes you're walking. Strava has no concept of public transport. There was nothing that let me say: I can run 5km, what does my commute look like if I take the tube for the rest?

One mid-heatwave run, 15km in and running late, made me stop tolerating that gap. MetroMile pulls live TfL and National Rail data and plans routes that genuinely mix running and transit — based on your pace and how far you feel like running that day.

Let's build

Got a problem nobody's solved well? I'm always up for hearing about it.
