Async Digital is a one-human software studio that ships apps, developer tools, and books, built by AI agents under a senior engineer's direction.
Ordova is the system the studio runs on. It is an operating system for solo software work: session handoff, governed memory, and a guard estate that decides which checks are crucial when nobody is reading every line of output. It is private, and how it works is documented publicly at https://ordova.async-digital.com
Audient is a macOS app that uses on-device AI to transcribe and search audio and video you give it. On the Mac App Store. https://audient.async-digital.com
Quill is a command-line tool for macOS that transcribes audio and video on-device and writes the words out as markdown. Your audio is not sent anywhere. It is open source under the MIT licence. https://github.com/async-digital-ltd/quill-cli
Seen to Fail is a small web app that records whether each automated check has ever been seen to catch a planted defect, and publishes a ledger of its own checks. Coding agents built it under the owner's direction, and the repository shows how that work was checked. It is open source under the MIT licence. https://github.com/async-digital-ltd/seen-to-fail
Mastering the AI Coworker is a book of principles for running an AI coworker in a one-person studio, written from the practice above. https://coworker.async-digital.com
Working notes and case studies. Everything above gets written up as it breaks, including the parts that did not work. https://async-digital.com/notes/ https://async-digital.com/case-studies/
Most of the work is private. Quill and Seen to Fail are published here in full. The other public repositories are Swift packages and supporting components, not the systems described above.
