I'm Atharva, a solo developer and 3D artist in Navi Mumbai. I build desktop tools, two operating systems, a programming language and a game. Most of it runs on your own computer and works offline.
I usually make free, open source software. A few of my apps are paid or closed source, and each project below says which. Start with these three, which are free and open source.
A free reference board for VFX, 3D and concept artists. Drop in images, video, 3D models, PDFs and notes, link them in Map View, and keep it all on your machine. No account, no cloud. MIT licensed.Download · Guide |
One calm window for the videos, music, images and GIFs already on your computer. It plays almost anything without codec packs and asks for no account. Free software under GPLv3.Download · Source |
Paste messy text in any language and get clear, natural English back. A small AI model runs on your computer, so what you write stays with you. Free software under GPLv3.Download · Source |

Case studies and the full list are on my website.
I would rather ship late with solid foundations than ship fast and rewrite. A release is done when I have run the real app, checked the download against its checksum and updated the changelog.
- Private by design. Glint and Kanvaz Mini make no network requests. Kanvaz Mini blocks them, and a test checks it.
- Security before convenience. Dependencies are audited and the code is scanned automatically.
- Simple on the surface. The tool should feel easy in the hands of the person using it, however much is going on underneath.
I also work in 3D art, VFX, game development and interface design. That is why I care so much about how a tool feels.

If you like what you see, a follow or a star on a project helps other people find it.
I make these tools on my own, and many of them are free. If one helped you, you can chip in by UPI. Any amount.
