Start with the messy middle.
I look at the work as it really happens, including the handoffs and workarounds people have learned.
Free apps and practical tools
Software experiments that solve real operational pain.
EllumeShop is a home for free applications I build for small teams, clinic operators, and business owners who still rely on paper, spreadsheets, or scattered manual processes.
Why EllumeShop exists
Many useful tools never need to be complicated or expensive.
Free, practical apps built around real small-business workflows.
Local-first tools where ownership, backups, and reliability matter.
Simple interfaces for teams that need to get work done without heavy setup.
Featured app
ElluMed CRM starts the collection.
The idea came from seeing clinic staff manually encode patient details into index cards, search drawers for existing records, and maintain patient priority queues on paper. ElluMed CRM turns that workflow into a searchable, local-first system for reception, doctors, and admins.

Watch a rough workflow become a useful tool.
