Open Independence

Ideas

An open board of app ideas.

Ideas I'm sitting with — plus ones sent in by visitors. Some are still concepts. Some are being explored. A few are graduating into real projects.

  • In motionArtificial Intelligence

    AiVi — See & Speak

    An AI visual interpreter you can hold a real conversation with about whatever your camera is pointing at. Now a shipping project.

  • ExploringAccessibility

    Quiet Captions

    Live captions optimized for one-on-one and small-group conversation, with speaker separation and adjustable verbosity — so captions stay helpful, not noisy.

  • ConceptDaily Living

    One-Tap Daily

    A personal home screen for daily routines: one large tap opens the next thing a person actually needs, based on time, place, and their own plan.

  • ConceptAccessibility

    Voice-first Forms

    A pattern library for filling out any web form entirely by voice — with graceful fallback, review, and edit — instead of tab-through-hell.

  • ExploringEducation

    Companion Reader

    A reading companion that summarizes, defines, and quietly re-reads passages on request — designed for reading with, not reading for, the person.

Have an app idea that could expand independence?

Send it in. Ideas that fit the mission may get added to this board, and the strongest ones may graduate into real projects.
