An independent studio building desktop apps and practical resources for people who get things done.
Most software is built for teams with IT budgets. We build for the individual - the consultant running solo, the educator tracking 30 students in a spreadsheet, the freelancer drowning in email invoices.
Every product starts with one question: does this make real work easier? If it doesn't solve a concrete problem that costs people time or money, we don't build it.
We believe in one-time pricing, local-first software, and tools that work without a Wi-Fi connection or a cloud account. Your data is yours.
No cloud required. No accounts. All data lives on your machine.
Pay once. Own it. No subscriptions, no surprise fees.
Each tool does one thing well. No feature bloat, no settings overload.
Not just developers. Anyone who works and wants better tools.
Apps run on macOS 12+ and Windows 10/11. One purchase covers both platforms.
Templates ship as Notion, Google Slides, or PDF - ready to use the minute you download them.
Prompt packs are delivered as Markdown + PDF - works with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or any AI assistant.
Writing on technology, AI governance, policy, and security - where emerging tech meets real-world practice. miguelrivera.dev is a side project born from that work: desktop apps, templates, and prompt packs built for consultants, educators, freelancers, and anyone building a smarter workflow.
