Welcome to krugg.com

Rugg Travel, my travel advisory, plus the tools I build for fun.

Business

What I spend most of my time on now

Hobby Projects

Side projects

JARVIS

Closed Beta

Your Personal AI Hub

A hodgepodge of features that keep me organized and occupied: a GTD task tracker, yearly goals, daily news and finance briefings, a podcast scout, expense and business expense tracking, a portfolio manager, a radio dial spinner, a book tracker and recommender, devops dashboards for all my servers, and a display manager that pushes content to the screens and Sonos speakers around the house. All of it is exposed over MCP, so I can get at it from AI tools.

Closed beta. Email jarvis@krugg.com for a demo login code.

Hound

Live

Scam Detection Assistant

A scam checker. Describe a suspicious call, email, or message and check off the red flags that apply. Hound returns a suspicion score, a plain-English explanation, and suggested next steps. No login. Suspicious emails can also be forwarded to hound@krugg.com, and the analysis comes back as a reply.

Raven

Live

Poker Night Made Easy

Organizes a recurring poker game: RSVPs, rotating hosts, equipment tracking, and settling up afterward. Players join with a shared access code instead of passwords. The game is confirmed once enough people RSVP.

Firefly

Live

Astrophotos from a Seestar

Photos from my ZWO Seestar S50 Pro smart telescope, one page per session with notes on the target, equipment, and conditions. A small local tool processes each night's images, strips the location data, and publishes them to the site.

Pika

Live

Offline reference library

A search front end for an offline reference library on a Raspberry Pi at a remote cabin. It runs next to kiwix-serve and searches 27 sources across reference, repair and DIY, outdoors, food and garden, and preparedness, all without an internet connection, over the Pi's own WiFi hotspot. The same code runs as a public demo at pika.krugg.com, searching the online Kiwix library instead.

Owlet

In Development

Daily trivia for family and friends

A daily trivia game for small private groups. Each morning every player gets an email with the day's questions, answers on their phone, and sees the answers and the standings right away. No passwords or app install: the email link is the login.

Parked & Retired

Earlier projects, set aside or folded into something else

Otter

Parked

Your Fishing Companion

Location-based fishing advice, weather forecasts, and fly-tying suggestions. Share your location to see what's biting, which flies to use, and where the good local spots are, with a 4-day forecast to help pick a day for your next trip.

Otter is parked for now. It's offline, but I may come back to it.

Zebra

Parked

Build the Universe

An incremental idle game where you built the universe one layer at a time. Start with strings and energy, combine them into quarks, and work up through atoms, molecules, and beyond. Cloud saves, global leaderboards, and a few premium upgrades.

Zebra is parked for now. It's offline, but I may come back to it.

Lynx

Moved into JARVIS

Sharp eyes on your small business

A lightweight small business tracker for income, expenses, sales/use tax, and key dates, with the data kept in a Google Sheet you own.

Lynx has been sunset. Its expense tracking moved into JARVIS, which now classifies expenses and makes them queryable through an MCP server.

Hippo

Sunset

Your Personal AI Assistant

Hippo connected to your Google Calendar, Tasks, Drive, and weather to produce daily briefs and weekly summaries, with a chat that knew your schedule and your to-do list.

Hippo has been sunset. Native integrations in Google, Claude, and ChatGPT now cover most of the same calendar and task ground.
