Baristapp

The app for home baristas

I built the Vivino of coffee to track and rate my beans, log my brew experiments and discover new roasters. Turns out there are quite a lot of specialty coffee nerds like me.

Splitpacer

Pace the gradient. Hit your goal.

of visitors generated a pacing strategy

While training in the hills of Lausanne for a 10K race, I kept asking myself: what's the smartest way to adjust my pace on the climbs? So I built a tool that reads the race map, spots the steep gradients, lets you set your goal time and strategy (negative split, even effort, etc.), and hands you a segment-by-segment pacing plan to follow on race day.

💚 Cheering map

My partner suggested it: a cheering map so friends and family know exactly where and when to show up and cheer you on.

Dialing YOU

A companion app for my espresso machine

Visit →

I built an app to control my espresso machine via WiFi websocket, including turning it on, setting the brew temperature and steam wand pressure. The app can also display the machine's live telemetry and beautiful charts throughout the shot.

⚖️ Brew-by-weight

The app launches a brew, controls the pressure profile during the shot and predicts when to stop based on a smart algorithm — using the live weight from the Bluetooth-connected scales to hit your target g output.

The Brainstorm

Private AI transcription & brainstorm personas

I often go for a walk after lunch 🚶 and it's a time to think. I sometimes use Gemini's live voice mode, or Monologue for transcriptions, but the former gets interrupted (or interrupts me) too often and crashes on longer conversations, and the latter feels like I'm talking to the void. I wanted an app where I could press record, talk for a while, and then ask the AI to help me go further on my train of thought — with different personas available depending on what I need.

🎛️ Design

Inspired by the Sony Walkman from my childhood — the whole app leans into a full retro cassette-deck aesthetic.

✨ AI Feature

I'd love to run transcription, the personas and TTS fully on-device — but Apple Intelligence's local models didn't quite cut it. Currently exploring other on-device model options.
