Simple, intentional software with no subscriptions, ever. Built for the self-directed practitioner to own, not rent.
I’m building a solo indie venture in the quiet hours—creating the tools I need to manage my health, my work, and my time. Every product here is a step away from the corporate grind and a step closer to a life lived by the rhythm of the tide.
I’ve spent many years watching software turn into a monthly utility bill. I believe that if a tool runs locally on your device, you should buy it once and own it forever. At Code and Sea, we don't do recurring fees for local software.
I balance this venture with a full-time career and the daily management of ME. My constraints are my strength; I build only what matters, with absolute focus on quality and longevity rather than "growth at all costs."
No corporate polish or "team" facades. I’m building in public—sharing the code, the technical hurdles, and the personal transition from the corporate engine room to the coastal horizon.
This app is the first expression of these principles in practice—built for you to own, with no tracking, no social distractions, and no monthly fees.
A minimalist meditation timer for a deeper, distraction-free practice.
Born from a daily practice started in July 2016, Mantra Meditation Timer is built for the self-directed practitioner. No social features, no intrusive tracking, and no monthly bills. It’s the tool I needed for my own journey, so I decided to build it myself.

It has been a while since my last logbook post back at the start of September, and a lot has happened behind the scenes. So as we head into my favourite season, Autumn, it feels like the right moment to sit down and share a complete update on where Code and Sea stands.
