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.
