About
I build the tools I want to use myself.
I’m Ali Naderi, and I build desktop apps and websites that do one thing well and then get out of the way. Most of my apps are a single file you can put on a USB stick: no installer, settings next to the program, nothing scattered across the system.
Every app follows the Windows light or dark mode, speaks English and German, and updates itself from signed releases. My own websites follow the same idea: static, fast and free of cookies.
- 01
Portable
One file, settings next to it. Copy it, run it, delete it – done.
- 02
Lean
Kilobytes to a few megabytes. Native speed instead of a bundled browser.
- 03
Bilingual
English and German throughout, following the system language.
- 04
Signed
Self-updates are installed only if their signature checks out.
