Tools that surface hidden data.
We build software that makes complex systems observable. Open source at the core.
Complex systems hide their data. Devices bury metrics in clunky interfaces. APIs don't expose what you need. The information exists — it's just not accessible. We build bridges.
Projects
Cable Modem Monitor
DOCSIS signal monitoring for Home Assistant. Track signal strength, noise margins, and errors across all your modem's channels, plus latency probes and remote restart. 40 supported modems from Arris to Technicolor, each described declaratively rather than hand-coded. Local-only — no cloud, no telemetry.
HTTP Archive (HAR) Capture
Zero-dependency Python library for sanitizing HAR files. Detects common PII patterns (passwords, tokens, emails) with format-preserving redaction. Interactive review mode for verification. Extensible for domain-specific patterns.
AI Launcher
Universal launcher for AI coding assistants. Start Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Cursor, Aider, or Copilot from one command with fuzzy project search and persistent context management.
AI Journal
A local MCP server that makes your work journal answerable. Capture what a session taught you without breaking flow, then ask the archive real questions — recurring patterns, past lessons, the thing you keep relearning. Plain markdown stays the source of truth, and nothing leaves your machine.
How We Build
These principles guide every decision — and set expectations for contributors.
We use AI as a force multiplier — it's how a small team ships what used to take a large one. It comes with rules: disclose what you used, and read every diff line by line before you commit. Acceleration without inspection is just faster mistakes.
Know where the system ends. Our tools expose what a device actually reports — not scores, grades, or inferred health. Adding interpretation is a design decision, and it starts with a discussion, not a pull request.
Fix the system, not the symptom. When something breaks, trace it back. Every bug is a chance to improve the system.
Don't Repeat Yourself. One abstraction handles dozens of modems. Contributors extend patterns — they don't duplicate logic.
Why "Solent"?
Two meanings, one name.
The solent is the forestay cable on a cutter-rigged sailboat — the line that holds under pressure. Nautical heritage runs deep here.
The Solent strait, between England and the Isle of Wight, is famous for currents that confound even experienced sailors. Our tools bring transparency to systems where complexity is invisible until something breaks.
