About
A studio for small, useful tools
SkyCo is a software company run by one person. Every product here started as a chore I kept repeating until building the tool was faster than doing it again.
One job per product
Most software grows until it needs a tutorial. I go the other way. A SkyCo product opens, answers the question, and gets out of the way. If a feature does not serve that one job it does not ship.
How I build
Every tool is free to use. Most need no account. Your data stays in your browser, except the rate lookups CurrenSee makes to Frankfurter and CoinGecko.
- Browser first. Nothing to install, works on a phone, shareable as a link.
- No account unless it earns one. Sign-in exists only where data has to follow you between devices.
- Fast over flashy. Pages are kept light so the first useful screen arrives quickly.
- Honest states. When a data provider fails, the product says so instead of showing a confident wrong number.
What I will not do
The products
Checking a rate usually means an ad-heavy page or a search result that is already out of date.
Families and teams that live across two or three calendar systems end up converting dates by hand.
Portfolio trackers ask for a spreadsheet import before they show you anything useful.
Most weeks the hard part is not cooking, it is deciding what to buy before you get to the shop.
Pay, bills and Afterpay instalments land on different days, so the bank balance rarely tells you what is safe to spend this week.
On the way
Budget & Expenses
Enter what you spent, see where it goes, and get on with your day. No spreadsheets to maintain.
Daily Notes
Somewhere to drop a note without it turning into another app to manage.
Where SkyCo is going
The plan is not ten more products. It is making the existing ones feel finished: clean SkyCo addresses for each, clearer first screens, and visible reliability. Progress is posted on What’s new.
