About lashman
One developer. Free software, given away.
I'm lashman. I build small, focused desktop programs for Windows and Linux and release them to the public domain. There are fourteen so far, from a break timer to a local speech-recognition tool, and the list grows when I need something that doesn't exist yet.
How the apps are made
The Windows apps are mostly Tauri (a Rust backend with a web frontend), with a couple of native GTK/libadwaita apps for Linux and one Python/Qt tool. Everything runs locally on your machine. Every app is built to do one job well and then get out of the way.
Why everything is free and CC0
Software that serves human wellbeing - break reminders, a markdown reader, a privacy-respecting time tracker - shouldn't be locked behind a subscription or a data-harvesting loop. So every app is free, with no tiers and no catches, and the code is released under CC0, the most complete public-domain dedication available. Take it, fork it, ship it as your own. It belongs to the commons.
Privacy is the default, not a setting
- No telemetry, no analytics, no crash reports phoning home.
- No accounts, and no server that could hold one.
- Your files, notes, and settings never leave your computer.
- The website itself is static: no backend, no cookies, no tracking scripts, and no third-party font or script requests.
The one exception is EchoBoard, which is self-hosted by design - whoever runs an instance controls the data submitted to it.
The code
Everything is developed in the open. Read it, audit it, file an issue, or open a pull request.
