0 · A POINT
It starts with a point of light.
One person who kept thinking, surely this can work better than it does.
Software with one more direction.
Baseract is the studio where I build the tools I could not buy. Twelve of them live here, real and running.
step insideTURNING IN TWO PLANES YOU CANNOT POINT AT
DRAG IT. IT DOES NOT MIND.
1 · A BEAM
Held long enough, a point becomes a beam.
I ship something most weeks, even when nobody is watching. Especially then.
2 · A SHEET
Beams cross and you get a surface.
Screens, mostly. The places where a tool meets an ordinary Tuesday morning.
3 · A CHAMBER
Close the surfaces and light fills a room.
Real software with real weight. Databases, logins, backups, the unglamorous load bearing walls.
4 · BASERACT
Fold the room once more and you get Baseract.
A shape with more sides than sense. You are standing in it now.
The spectrum
Pass one light through a prism and the beams keep coming. Twelve so far, every one of them made here, most of them used daily.

BY INVITATION
Kestrel
the markets, watched
Kestrel reads the markets so my mornings stay calm. Charts, signals and a plan for the day, ready before the coffee cools. It is private, and a visit is by invitation.

Dawnline
the inbox, quieted
Dawnline reads an overflowing inbox and hands back one quiet page. The email feels lighter afterwards. So do I.

GROWING
Lodestone
the training, kept honest
Lodestone remembers every lift and every match, so I can argue with my excuses. Progress charts, a muscle map, a sports ledger and a trainer that plans the next block.

GROWING
Dosekeep
the cabinet, minded
Dosekeep minds the family medicine cabinet: what we have, what ran out, what expires next, shared by everyone at home. Not medical advice, just fewer surprises.

IN THE WORKSHOP
Sotto Console
the voice, kept home
Sotto Console types what I say into any app and reads selected text back to me, in voices that run on this machine. Not one word of it ever leaves.

IN THE WORKSHOP
Sotto Neural Bridge
the conversation, in my own voice
Sotto Neural Bridge is the half of Sotto I talk to. I speak or type, Claude answers, and the reply comes back in my own cloned voice while it is still being written.

Vantry
the work, watched live
Vantry is the command center over everything I build. Every project, task and decision across the workspace mirrors onto one live board, behind my own sign in.

BAP
the numbers, gathered
The analytics room for everything here. Privacy first: no cookies, nothing personal, and every Baseract site and app reports into one dashboard.

Sightvane
search, seen clearly
An SEO and AI visibility instrument. Crawls, keywords and rankings on one channel; what the answer engines say about a brand on the other.

TrueFrame
phones, on the bench
TrueFrame holds my web apps up to real iPhone and Android frames, audits what breaks, then dresses the result for the app stores at their exact sizes.

BHA
architecture, framed
The website I built for my brother’s architecture practice, Bilal Hoss Architects: Swiss minimal, editorial and calm, carrying thirteen years of built work across three regions.

Pixalton
a world, in pixels
Pixalton is the game I am making: a creature RPG drawn in pixels, two titles set in one original world. Very much in the workshop.
THE VISIT
Come by anytime.
Baseract is what I make after hours. If one of these tools would make your week lighter, or you are busy building your own little machines, write to me. I answer.
