A SUITE OF APPS BY FAEN LAUD

Because all effort deserves applause.

Ten small apps, each solving one real problem. Every one of them shares the same three rules: your data stays private by default, nothing guilt-trips you for missing a day, and none of them can just disappear — because the servers they run on are self-hosted, not rented from a company that could shut them off tomorrow. Tap any app below for the full story.

FLAGSHIP · LIVE

🧵Patchwork

The flagship. The one everything else grew out of.

A shared calendar and diary, built specifically for a system — self-hosted so it can't disappear the way past tools did.

🐰Unsticker

A reward system for getting through hard tasks, with a bunny.

Earn digital stickers for tasks, then tear open packs like a trading-card game — mascot Bobbin included.

🔥Hestia

A burnout early-warning system, dressed up as a fire dial.

Learns your own patterns and gives a gentle heads-up before the crash, not after.

🥫PanTry

A pantry and medication tracker that's actually private.

Barcode/OCR scanning with end-to-end encryption — not even Faen can read your data.

🍳Thymer

A cook-along app that walks you through a recipe one step at a time.

One step, one timer, nothing else on screen until you're ready for it.

🏆Bounty Board

A chore app that turns housework into a bounty-hunting game.

Post chores as bounties with rewards attached — built for any household shape, not just parent and kid.

🗂️Clearly

A card you hold up that shows how you're communicating right now.

One glance tells someone exactly how to talk to you today — no explaining required.

🕊️While

A gentle memory-jog for after medical appointments.

Five short questions, answered while it's all still fresh. Never records audio — that's permanent.

💨Wisp

A private place to vent, inspired by an app called Vent that shut down.

Encrypted so it can't be read even on the server — with identity kept structurally separate from moderation.

📵SpellBreak

A break reminder for when you've been staring at a screen too long.

Watches the apps you disappear into, and gently interrupts the "just five more minutes" spiral.

The thread running through all of them

Your data stays private by default — a lot of it Faen genuinely cannot read even if they wanted to.

Nothing guilt-trips you for missing a day or forgetting something.

None of them can just disappear the way so many community apps have — because Faen owns and runs the servers themselves.
