Release notes, design diaries, field guides, and the occasional long-form thought. New posts when there's something worth writing — never on a schedule.
After 8 months of weekends and a great many tabs, the third Ari ships. AriRoam replaces tabs with Spaces, adds a copilot to every page, and lets you rewrite the web with a skill system. iPhone-first, free, and quiet by default.
The skill system is small but expressive. Here's how to write one — a 40-line example that blocks every cookie banner on the web, and another that rewrites Wikipedia's references into footnotes.
An editorial typeface for an editorial product. Notes on type pairings, italic discipline, the joy of small caps in a 12px monospace eyebrow, and why Ari resists the urge to use Inter for everything.
The biggest Core release yet. Three-time-of-day Almanac, multi-agent Threads, and a new background loop that reflects on the day's conversations while you sleep. iOS 18+, free on the App Store.
A long-form note on why every Ari runs on-device by default. What this costs us in capability, what it buys you in privacy, and how the family stays in sync over end-to-end encrypted relays — never a centralised database.
A workmanlike point release. The CLI's section planner now decomposes plans into subagent groups; Ollama becomes the default local model; and the safety prompts are softer, clearer, and easier to allow per-section.
One letter a month, only when there's something worth sending. Releases, field guides, the occasional long-form thought. No tracking, no "growth", no nagging.
