Independent · Built in Chester, England
Ten products, built to make everyday technology calmer, more affordable, more transparent or easier to trust. Made by one person, and honest about which parts are finished.
7 live · 3 working · 5 projects in developmentsee what each one is doing
Security should not only detect. It should understand, explain and help you respond.
Tools makes useful things that respect your data. Space is a quiet place to be. Thraksha was the harder question underneath both: could a phone examine its own security, explain it in ordinary language, and act on it reversibly — without any of that leaving the device?
It could. The Android proof of concept was built, tested on real hardware, and is now frozen. There is nothing to install and no address to visit; what there is, is a completed answer and a written account of how it works.
Security and automation share one picture of the device
The AI interprets; it never becomes the authority
Evidence instead of a risk score
Changes are designed to be undone
Each one solves a problem I actually hit. Seven are live; three are working and still being built. The status on every card is the real one.
A quiet corner of the web for breathing, resting and doing nothing in particular.
What is different
It removes the machinery that usually keeps you in an app — no streaks, no leaderboards, no feed, no message about the day you missed.
A UK-focused way to tailor a CV you already have to a specific job advert, without rewriting it from scratch.
What is different
Every line of a tailored CV has to trace back to a claim you confirmed was true. If a sentence cannot be traced, the document is not delivered.
A place to diagnose an engineering problem by running tests, rather than by guessing from an answer that worked for somebody else in 2019.
What is different
Evidence is attached to a specific revision and a specific environment. Editing a playbook creates a new revision, and the old evidence stays with the text it actually tested instead of silently transferring.
Sixteen free calculators and utilities for UK work, money, documents and everyday admin.
What is different
No account, and the file-handling tools do their work inside your browser, so a document you compress or merge is never uploaded anywhere.
A news reader built around one question: what actually changed while you were away?
What is different
Sources, claims, corroboration, editorial review and revision history are kept as separate signals, so a reader can see how well a story is supported rather than only what it says.
A catalogue of developer utilities — formatters, converters, encoders, generators and testers — that run in the browser, with no sign-up.
What is different
Most tools process input entirely on your own machine, and the catalogue says which is which. The few tools that need the network say where a request goes before anything is sent, rather than after.
Takes a messy PDF, CSV or Excel file and produces a cleaner, more structured copy — repeated headers stripped, ragged tables squared up — while the original stays exactly as it was.
What is different
The file is processed in your own browser and never uploaded. Every change is listed so you can see what was done, anything uncertain is held for your review instead of silently applied, and the original bytes are never touched.
A search engine that mixes live general-web results with a small, independent index I crawl and rank myself, and says plainly which is which.
What is different
Most of what you see when you search is drawn from Brave's general-web results, labelled as such. Alongside those, a smaller set of results can come from my own crawler and ranking, labelled separately. Neither is presented as the other.
A collection of test-design, test-data and automation tools for testers and developers, built so most of them never need to send your input anywhere.
What is different
The great majority of the tools run entirely in your browser and work with the network disabled. A small, clearly marked group needs the network to do its job — checking a live URL's headers, for instance — and those are the only ones that send anything out.
A workspace for modelling cash, revenue, costs, hiring and funding, where every calculated figure — burn, runway, break-even — can be clicked to show the formula, the inputs and the engine version behind it.
What is different
Money is handled as exact whole-unit and exact-fraction arithmetic rather than ordinary floating-point numbers, and every input is classified as an actual, an assumption or a calculation, enforced in the underlying types rather than left to convention. Nothing in the calculation path is produced by an AI model.
Operating systems, a browser and platforms being built now. Nothing here can be installed or used yet; each page says exactly what has been shown and what has not.
A pre-alpha, Rust-built research kernel developed and verified entirely inside QEMU, exploring what a personal operating system could look like with explicit privilege boundaries built in from the start.
A Chromium-based desktop browser, built on CEF, with the sandbox on and AI structurally off by default. Phase 1 of a planned four is complete on Windows; nothing has been released.
A research project building a phone operating system in which AI agents may propose actions, but only separate, deterministic code can permit them to happen.
A private, in-development platform for software project governance — lifecycle, traceability, impact analysis and evidence-gated approvals, held to its own standard.
A private, in-development UK toy storefront: catalogue with toy-safety compliance gates, cart, checkout, fulfilment, returns, support and admin with MFA. Not open.
Six things the whole network is meant to hold to. Each is checkable against the products rather than a slogan.
01
A tool should answer the question you arrived with and then get out of the way. None of these products has a streak, a daily nudge or a reason to keep you on the page longer than the task needs.
02
Generated text is easy; text you can check is not. ATSYou refuses to produce a CV whose lines it cannot trace, and Dev shows the reproduction counts behind a fix instead of a confidence badge.
03
These products run on small budgets and are built to keep running on small budgets. Where something is free, this site says whether that is funded, planned to be funded, or currently unfunded.
04
Where a job can be done on your own device, it is. Where data must be collected, the aim is to collect less of it rather than to explain it better afterwards.
05
Three of the ten products are not finished, and this site labels them that way on every page they appear on. A product that has not launched is never described as though it had.
06
AI helps build these products and helped draft parts of this site. It does not get the final say on whether something is true — in Dev it is explicitly not allowed to decide that a fix works.
The person behind it
AI/ML & Software Engineer — Independent Projects · Chester, England, United Kingdom
I finished an MSc in Artificial Intelligence at Liverpool John Moores University in September 2025, after a computer science degree in Tirupati.Currently working as a supermarket service colleague while developing ITISYOU and seeking a full-time UK role in AI, software or related engineering.
ITISYOU is not a finished company I am announcing. It is the work in progress, published while it is still in progress — including the parts that were built, judged not good enough, and removed.
No user counts, revenue figures or customer numbers appear anywhere on this site, because there is no evidence for any of them.
Kept separate from the network, because none of it is something you can use.
An experiment that put a four-qubit variational circuit at the end of a classical machine-learning pipeline, ran it on real IBM hardware, and measured what that actually bought. The answer was not an accuracy win, and the repository says so in its own first paragraph.
A research question about whether organisations could share tested ERP migration patterns with each other without sharing anything about their customers. There is no name, no domain, no prototype and no code.
An early question about whether posts could become structured, connected, evolving information instead of isolated items that fall down a feed and are gone. Unnamed, undesigned and unbuilt.
What went wrong, what it cost, and what I would do differently. Written from project records, not from a keyword list.
Why ITISYOU News keeps sources, corroboration, editorial review and revisions as separate signals instead of collapsing them into one confidence score — and why it is still labelled Working rather than launched.

Why DEV.ITISYOU attaches evidence to a revision instead of to a page, keeps records of fixes that failed, and refuses to show a confidence score without the counts behind it.

I assumed that if I collected almost no personal data, the legal obligations would mostly not apply. That assumption was wrong, and finding out why changed how I build.

Space and ATSYou are meant to earn their keep eventually. Neither charges today: Space is free to enter, with commercial access of £1 monthly or £10 yearly planned but not currently active, and ATSYou has not opened to customers.
Dev, Tools, News and Kits are meant to remain free to use, supported by restrained advertising, and Clean, Search, QA and Plan are simply free. No advertising is running on any of the ten products, and no advertising code is installed on them.
Carries Google AdSense, clearly labelled and separated from everything else, never before the content of a page. Advertisers get no say in what any page here says about a product.
