A portfolio of free, independent apps
Paramain is a small workshop of useful tools — free to use, privacy-first, and made to respect the people who use them. Open source by default. No ads, no lock-in, no surveillance.
Each one solves a real problem and gives it away free. Most are open source; all of them put you first.
Civic tech
Political transparency, powered by local AI
A political transparency platform that runs open-weight models locally on a Raspberry Pi — no cloud, no surveillance, no gatekeepers. It distills public records and legislative activity into plain language so anyone can hold power to account.
Creator tools
A free, open-source link-in-bio
Everything you love about a link-in-bio page, with none of the lock-in. Self-host it or run it free — own your links, your data, and your audience. A genuine open alternative to the usual suspects.
Games & play
A daily music puzzle, no ads ever
One fresh music puzzle every day. Splice the clips, name the track, share your streak. No ads, no tracking, no paywall — just a small, joyful ritual that respects your attention.
Streaming tools
Stream utilities for Dead by Daylight
A free, open-source toolkit for Twitch streamers playing Dead by Daylight. Run a viewer queue so your community can jump into the match on stream, plus the small utilities that make playing with chat effortless.
Good software shapes how people work, learn, organize, and play. That power shouldn't sit behind a paywall or a privacy trade. Paramain is a small, stubborn argument that it doesn't have to.
No ads, no paywalls, no upsells. The tools cost nothing because access shouldn't depend on what you can pay.
Code in the open, so anyone can read it, learn from it, or improve it. Where it can't be open, it stays free and yours.
No tracking for tracking's sake. Where it makes sense, the AI runs locally — on a Raspberry Pi, not someone else's cloud.
Every app earns its place by solving a real, specific problem — and doing that one thing genuinely well.
The best tools start as someone's small frustration. Tell us what should exist — it opens a public issue you can track, discuss, and watch get built.
