I'm Tyler. I build local-first, open-source software.
Most of my time goes into Toolport, a local MCP gateway that lets AI clients share the same servers, credentials, and rules. It loads tools on demand instead of putting every tool definition into every request, cutting total token use by up to 91% in measured benchmarks.
I also maintain:
- Try Omarchy for Windows, which runs the full Omarchy desktop in a Windows app
- Omakade, Omadrop, and Omaroll, a game library, music visualizer, and media library built for Omarchy
- Ceiling, a Windows view of AI usage limits and reset times
- Cubby Clipboard, a private, searchable replacement for Windows clipboard history
Everything listed here is free and open source. Sponsorships cover code signing, CI, hosting, testing, and the time required to maintain releases and answer issues. If you use any of these projects, your support gives me more time to maintain and improve them.
My first goal is five people who use this work and want to support it each month. That support helps pay for code signing, CI, hosting, and testing, and gives me more time for releases, bug fixes, and support. Everything stays free and open source.
