I build custom tools for creators.
Apps, dashboards, and automations designed around your actual workflow... not someone else's idea of what you need.
Every tool on this page started as a problem I had running my own creator business. Here's the shape of what I make...
A dashboard that shows your actual numbers
Income, expenses, bookings, content... in one place instead of six spreadsheets.
A tool that does the boring part
Descriptions, captions, repetitive writing... the stuff that eats your evening.
Something interactive for your audience
Wheels, dice, prize drops... anything that makes people stick around.
Something nobody sells yet
If you've been duct-taping three apps together to do one job, that's usually a sign it should just be one tool.
Most of these cost less to run than the monthly subscription of the tool they replace.
Income Tracker
Income and expenses in one place, so you see what you actually made... not what you think you made.
QuickWheel
Customizable prize wheel for streamers. Viewers spin, creators control the odds. Live in production.
Inkverse
Fiction writing workspace for characters, universes, and stories. Local-first, no account needed.
Win the Bottle
A spin-the-bottle prize game for live streams. Viewers watch it land, you set the odds behind the scenes.
Content Description Writer
Single-file browser tool that generates platform-specific descriptions using AI. Feedback system improves over time, no backend to pay for.
therileydaniels.com
A personal brand landing page, designed and built from scratch. Custom palette, illustrations, and layout... no template.
We get it right first
Questions before code. We agree on what the tool does, doesn't do, and costs... before building starts.
You see every step
Work happens in phases. You review each one before I move on. No mystery boxes.
Nothing changes without you
If I find a better way, I flag it and wait. The tool you approved is the tool you get.
You own everything
Code, accounts, docs... all yours. Another developer could pick it up. No lock-in, ever.
Got something in mind?
You don't need a spec or a plan... just tell me what's annoying you. I'll tell you if it's buildable, roughly what it'd take, and if it's not worth building, I'll say that too. No pitch, no pressure.
