Fair questions to ask about anything that says it's free. Here are the honest answers.
A handful of small web apps that each do one useful thing. A bingo caller for a fundraiser night. A page you can write your worst thoughts on and then burn. A button that decides what's for dinner so nobody has to.
None of them are big. That's the point. Each one started the same way — somebody needed that exact thing, and what you could find online wanted a subscription and an email address for it.
One person. Not a company, not a startup, not a team. There's nobody to escalate to and no support department — if you send a note it lands with the same person who built the thing.
There isn't one. No trial that runs out, no paid tier, no "upgrade to unlock," no donate button guilting you on the way in. Nothing is collected from you, so there's nothing to sell to anybody either.
If one of these helps a group raise a little money, or helps somebody put down something heavy for a night, it already did the job it was made for.
With AI, and that's said plainly rather than hidden. The ideas, the decisions about what a thing should be and who it's for, and the judgment about when something isn't good enough yet — those are a person's. The code underneath is written with AI tools.
That's the only reason a single person can hand out finished apps at all. It seems more honest to say so than to pretend a small workshop is bigger than it is.
Because then it's actually yours. Hit Download and you have the whole app — one file, nothing else needed. Open it on a laptop with no internet and it still runs. Put it on a thumb drive. Email it to somebody.
Nothing here can be taken away from you later, quietly locked behind a login, or broken because a company shut down. The copy you saved keeps working, forever, whatever happens to this website.
Most of the apps never talk to the internet at all once they're open. The Burn Book in particular keeps nothing, sends nothing, and remembers nothing — that's the entire promise of it.
Yes to both, and you don't have to ask. Send them to whoever you want. Run them at your church, your fire hall, your lodge, your kitchen table. If you know a little HTML, open the file and change it — the code is commented so a person can follow it. Every app's source is on GitHub.
Probably, but there's no schedule and no roadmap. A new one shows up when there's a real reason for it — somebody needed something, and nothing decent existed for free. That's the whole process.
Did one of these help, or fall flat? Something broken, something confusing, something you wish it did? There's a note box at the bottom of the front page. It goes straight to a person — no sign-up, nothing else collected.
