Small tools,
built carefully.

Track every subscription in one place. Get email reminders before anything renews. Local-first, cloud-optional, one-time Pro license.
PapaBuild is a one-person studio. A dad with a baby, a dog, and a full-time job, building simple tools for everyday problems and documenting every step along the way. No tracking, no dark patterns, no VC pressure. Just useful things, built while life happens.
