Apps
Plugins, apps, maps and games.
It started with plugins I wrote for my own websites. Now it’s a studio, and a long list of side projects I can’t seem to stop starting.
WordPress plugins
Where it all started. Written for my own sites, then shared. This is Meow Arts’ day job, and it pays for everything else.
- AI EngineThe AI framework for WordPress: chatbots, agents, forms, content generation, MCP.
- Media CleanerHunts down unused media and files, then pounces. A spotless library, zero effort.
- Perfect ImagesEvery pixel groomed: sizes, retina, WebP/AVIF, CDN. Born as WP Retina 2x in 2012.
- Media File RenamerGives files names that mean something, by hand or by AI. Our firstborn.

- Social EnginePlans, schedules and automates social posts from inside WordPress.

- Meow MailerFree SMTP with everything included. The newest kitten in the litter.
- Workspace for WordPressYour WordPress becomes an AI workspace: every model, your own keys.
Maps and travel
The projects closest to the photography. If I’m going to keep driving down back roads, I’d like better tools for it. And I’d like the villages at the end of those roads to get something out of it too.
- IkuzoThe loveliest map editor. Organise spots, build routes, share itineraries, on desktop, mobile and watch.
- JipanguA free curated map of Japan, gathering the best spots recommended by Japanese bloggers and YouTubers.
- Offbeat JapanThe Japan the guidebooks leave out. Four hundred adventures off the beaten path, in your pocket.
- IkitoriiJapan through local eyes. Connects travellers directly with independent local guides, with no agency in between.
- Export Google MapsTurns your saved Google Maps places and reviews into clean JSON or CSV.
Apps
Things I wanted to exist on my own phone.
- Neko JishinReal-time earthquake tracking for Japan: JMA data, Shindo intensity, maps, and a guide that works offline.
- Doko No NekoTurns every walk into a game: reveal your city tile by tile, and hunt the Daily Cat with friends.
- WhispersA quiet place for kind words. No likes, no followers, no noise.
- HarukazeA fresh spring breeze is brewing in the lab. That is all I can say. 春風
Games
The most fun, and the least sensible.
