A man, his dog, and building in public.
Little Bear Apps is where Normi & I plan & build apps, devtools and more, experimenting with the latest technology - all tested & updated in real workflows.
Little Bear Apps is an independent developer studio based in Australia, building open-source tools for AI-powered workflows — MCP servers, Claude Code plugins, and automation utilities. Every tool starts as something I needed in my own work, gets tested for months in real projects, and ships when it's genuinely useful.
What I've been building
Everything here started as something I needed. If it's useful to you too, even better.
What I'm learning
Things I've tried, things I've broken, and what I figured out along the way.
First posts coming soon
Writing up some things I've been tinkering with lately.
13 years in tech companies — startups to ASX-listed.
I watched a lot of tools succeed and a lot of tools collect dust. The ones that stuck were the ones that fit into how people actually work. That's what I try to build.
Everything is open source, privacy-first, and built for real workflows — no telemetry, no cloud dependencies, no vendor lock-in. If something breaks, you can read the source and fix it yourself.
