Things in progress.

A personal brand identity exploring how an individual practice becomes its own kind of institution. Built around a circular masthead device that ties together Engines of Change, Future Frames, and Alchemy Creations under one mark. Currently iterating on type weights, badge variations, and how the system extends to merchandise and signage.

The promises you make at work, caught before they slip through the cracks. Obliga.do reads across your meetings, email, and chat, finds what you said you'd do, and surfaces it in one inbox you can clear in under two minutes. The build is live and running daily, with design partners next.

A personal sleep companion for Apple Watch. It notices when you fall asleep, so there's no button to press, and puts the dip in your sleeping heart rate up front, with HRV, interruptions and your own baselines alongside. The coaching is short and never scolds. You can tag what shaped the night, like a hard workout, a late dinner or travel, and send a morning sleep report image to someone if you choose. Each person owns their own data, with no shared household account. It's in design, with docs written and no app or code yet. Part of a trio. MotionBridge is what you do, NightSignal is how you recover, and MindFrame is how you think. Each works on its own, and none needs a paid subscription to another app.

A private journal you talk to. Conversation is the front door, and CBT-informed structure sits underneath, with thought records, evidence for and against, reframes, small experiments and a weekly reflection. Each day it builds a page from the sources you allow, like sleep, workouts, your calendar and later selected email, and asks a few optional questions. The sources shape the question, and your answer supplies the meaning. It isn't a therapist and doesn't diagnose. A personal insight reaches Terminus only after I've reviewed and approved it, and then it goes through Back Brain's usual curation. Raw entries never leave. It's in design, with docs and no code yet. Part of a trio. MotionBridge is what you do, NightSignal is how you recover, and MindFrame is how you think. Each works on its own, and none needs a paid subscription to another app.

Send it sealed, know when it's opened. Every person I share a deck or document with gets their own link, and I see who opened it, how long they spent on each page, and whether it was passed along. Readers can be asked to prove their email first, and every page can carry their name. Claude runs it for me, adding the document, making the links and drafting the emails.

A personal archive that turns what I've written into positions I actually hold. It reads my essays and proposes what I seem to believe, and nothing counts until I approve it with the passage it came from attached. It now keeps a separate, private archive for each canon, mine and each bartender's, and each archive's curator decides what goes in. A shared, governed soul sets how any agent speaking from a canon behaves, and it never claims a view the canon doesn't hold. It powers the bar in SipStir and Ask Engines of Change.

A concept for a professional intelligence operating system. Nine layers running from ingestion through publishing, named for Asimov's Foundation. Back Brain already powers memory through judgment, with SipStir and Ask Engines of Change using approved canon. Other pieces are built or still in design. The personal apps MotionBridge, NightSignal and MindFrame are intended to connect through permissioned data and selectively approved insights, not an open feed of private records.
