Software with one more direction.

Baseract is the studio where I build the tools I could not buy. Ten of them live here, real and running.

step inside
BASERACT No. 1 · HYPERCUBE IN GLASS
TURNING IN TWO PLANES YOU CANNOT POINT AT
DRAG IT. IT DOES NOT MIND.

0 · A POINT

It starts with a point of light.

One person who kept thinking, surely this can work better than it does.

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. Ten so far, every one of them made here, most of them used daily.

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.

BEAM 05 OF 10 · IN THE WORKSHOP

Sotto

the voice, kept home

Sotto is Italian for a voice kept low. It types what I dictate and reads my screen back to me, and the whole conversation happens inside this one machine. No cloud, no account, no audio leaving home. It is still on the workbench, and I like it there.

SPEAKS
dictation in, read aloud out
LIVES
entirely on this one machine
SENDS
nothing, anywhere, ever
