Now

This is a snapshot of what I’m focused on at this point in my life.

Right now, most of my energy goes into work, family life, and a few small internet projects I’m slowly building on the side.

I live in Budapest with my wife and son. Outside my day job, I’m mostly interested in photography, quiet software, small useful tools, and making the internet feel a little more personal again.

Work

I work as a software engineer at Tabeo, where we build fintech and healthtech products that help make private healthcare more affordable and easier to access.

Most of my work is around frontend engineering, product details, user experience, and making complex systems feel simpler for people.

I still enjoy being close to the actual building. I like understanding the problem, shaping the interface, and turning vague ideas into something real.

Greendot

I recently built Greendot, a tiny macOS menu bar app that keeps your status green while you think.

It started as a weekend project and a small joke about remote work, but there is a real frustration behind it.

Work is not always typing. Sometimes it is reading, thinking, walking around the room, or trying to understand a problem before touching the keyboard.

Greendot does the smallest possible thing. It moves your cursor by two pixels, then moves it back.

No account. No tracking. No dashboard. Just a tiny app that quietly says: I am still here, I am just thinking.

I shipped it recently, and for now I’m just seeing where it goes.

Moments

I’m also slowly working on Moments, a quiet place for photography.

Most photo platforms feel too loud to me. Too focused on reach, likes, performance, and constant posting.

I want something closer to a personal photo journal, but still open enough for discovery.

The idea is simple: photo-first blogging.

Posts are built around images, not around text. Photos are the main content, not attachments.

I imagine it being used by hobby photographers, walkers, parents, travelers, and people who take photos regularly but do not want to turn it into another performance.

It is still early, but the direction feels clear: calm, human, and focused on the images.

Quietly

Quietly is a 7-day email-based break from social media.

Not quitting forever. Not deleting accounts. Just stepping back for a week and seeing what happens.

I originally did this for myself. No product, no emails, no structure. Just a small reset. It worked well enough that I wanted to turn it into something other people could try too.

The format is simple: one short email per day, with an optional companion page if you want to go deeper.

No motivational noise. No productivity angle. No pressure to become a better version of yourself.

Just a small pocket of space.

ContentDrip

ContentDrip is the small engine behind Quietly.

While building Quietly, I realized I wanted more control over how email-based content is delivered. Not just newsletters, but structured sequences with confirmations, pacing, pauses, resumes, and companion pages.

Right now, it exists mainly to support Quietly.

Later, it might become a small tool for people who want to deliver thoughtful email courses without turning everything into a marketing machine.

No funnels. No growth hacks. Just content, delivered well.

Nordika

My wife and I also run a small cabin near the Danube Bend called Nordika.

It is a quiet Scandinavian-style place with a sauna, hot tub, terrace, and a view over the hills.

It is not a software project, but it scratches a similar itch for me. Making a small experience feel thoughtful, simple, and calm.

What I’m thinking about

A loose theme connects most of what I’m doing right now.

I’m interested in smaller, calmer software.

Tools that do one thing well.

Places on the internet that feel human.

Products that do not constantly push for more attention, more engagement, and more noise.

I do not know exactly where all of this leads yet. That is part of the fun.

For now, I’m just following the thread.

Say hello

If any of this resonates with you, feel free to reach out.

I’m always happy to hear from people who are building small projects, thinking about calmer software, or trying to make the internet feel a bit more personal again.
