About

Built by one person, on purpose.

lukekevinmclaughlin-oss is the publishing name of Luke Kevin McLaughlin — an independent software author based in the European Union. Every product on this site is created, designed, signed, and supported directly by Luke, with no investors, no growth treadmill, and no hidden data flows.

The brief for every product is the same:

  • Local-first Your work, prompts, files, and credentials stay on your machine by default. Anything that leaves is opt-in and obvious.
  • Paid once You buy the major version once and keep it. Future major versions are separate purchases — never auto-billed.
  • Tools, not toys Software for getting work done — coding, research, writing, automation — with full keyboard control and respect for power users.
  • No surveillance No analytics, no automatic crash reports, no engagement metrics by default.
