01

Everything in one place

Income, expenses, and accounts in one organized ledger — no more numbers scattered across spreadsheets.

02

See where money goes

Every month visualized at a glance, so patterns and surprises surface before they turn into problems.

03

Spending under control

Track outflow against income and keep the month on plan — totals update live as you work.

04

Growth, quantified

Year-over-year growth kept front and center — the insight owners actually want, Hebrew-first.

For the curious

Prefer the command line?

Here's a real terminal — type help, ls, or open nihul to poke around and launch the apps. (Everything's clickable too.)

About

A builder, by instinct

I didn't come up through a computer-science degree — I came up by needing things to exist and then making them. Notice friction, sketch a fix, ship it. Somewhere along the way the hobby folder filled up with real, running software.

A lot of what I build serves my own community — Yiddish-speaking people whom mainstream products rarely design for. Kosher media tools, Yiddish transcription, right-to-left apps. I care about software that respects the people using it.

I work across modern web stacks and lean hard on AI as a collaborator — a way to move faster and build things that used to be out of reach for one person.
