Synesis
Email that lives on your machine first. Windows and Android, SQLite on device, sync in the background via Microsoft Graph or plain IMAP. Your mail, your copy — no mystery cloud required to read your inbox.
About SynesisLiveBytes is where the work lives.
Leading and making were never opposites — a studio for local-first software, practical tools, and notes from building them.
Organon
Aristotle's organon was the toolkit for clear thinking — logic, categories, the works. Organon here is the same idea, applied a little loosely: instruments for a full life and real craft. Instruments, not vibes.
Phronesis
A personal organizer for a complicated day — calm capture, plan today, focus, offline on your device. Not a team workspace. Real software in progress; honest about that upfront.
About PhronesisTech leadership was never the opposite of making things.
Built by Trish Putnam · software, music, theater, and a few other threads on the side.
Notes from the studio
Phronesis
Why Phronesis is already in v3 (and still not a store parade)
Version numbers went up because the product kept earning generations and evolving. A public "1.0" parade waits on honesty, not on a cooler logo.
AI
Vibe coding vs AI-assisted coding (and which one I actually do)
One is prompting until it "feels" right. The other is using mdoels as force multipliers while you still own the design, the diff, and the blast radius. I do the second.
