03The approach

Useful first.
Made for real life.

Practical tools with a bit of personality. Built around everyday needs.

01

Made from real routines.

These started with things I wanted to make easier in my own day. A practical need comes first.

02

Small, with a purpose.

Each tool has a focused job. Pick the ones that fit the way you already do things.

03

Clear from the start.

See what a tool does, what it needs, and how to get going before you add it to your routine.

04Behind the tools
The human behindIllustrated portrait of Bing, the maker of barchives.

I make small things
that help.

barchives started with tools I wanted to use myself. A quicker way to log spending. A place to collect a day. A way to keep the things I copy.

This is where I share them. If you have a question or something to tell me, I’d like to hear it.
