Hi, I'm Adam.
I build things that work.

I take on hard problems, learn whatever the job needs, and build things people actually use.

Things I'm building.

What I'm working on now. Each one built end to end, and used by real people.

Jotura

jotura.io ↗

A notes app that keeps your secrets. Your notes are plain markdown files on your disk, synced between devices with end-to-end encryption, so the server only ever sees scrambled gibberish.

It even comes with a CLI so AI agents can work in your vault without ever being able to silently overwrite your words.

AI Council

council.adamrichardson.online ↗

A reviewer and a thinker for people making big decisions and doing creative work. Four frontier models from four different labs each answer as ten different experts, so one question comes back as forty opinions.

Point it at a decision and Review gives you one answer: where they agreed, where they genuinely didn't, and what to do. Point it at an open question and Explore keeps the directions apart, unreconciled on purpose.

Stocks

stocks.adamrichardson.online ↗

Every day, AI research agents scan the S&P 500 and FTSE 100 for anything that moved more than 5%, then read the filings, news and analyst notes to work out what actually happened.

You get a plain-English report on every mover, plus a wrap of the whole session. I built it to stay on top of the market myself. Fully automated, no human review, and definitely not financial advice.

Writing.

Longer pieces on hard problems, new technology, and what actually holds up once real people are using it.

Say hi.

Working on something hard, want to compare notes, or just fancy talking shop? Everything lands on X first, so that's the best place to catch me.
