About

IoT USB

Read full description

The aim of IoTUSB is to enable the developers to quickly launch their IoT project with custom branded apps for themselves or their customers. The codebase for the app and firmware is boilerplate to get you started quickly, as you can add more functionality to the main app and the device without having to worry about core features like App Settings, Multilingual Support, light and dark themes, and MQTT Communication.

DeadClaw

In an era where AI can do anything and remember everything, DeadClaw offers you a fleeting corner that belongs only to the now. DeadClaw is an "anti-efficiency" application for practicing presence. Capture photos, write thoughts, doodle, or speak freely—knowing once the moment passes, the content does too. Our goal isn’t to produce more, but to pull your attention from "AI-induced anxiety" back to "the experience of being." Ways to use it: Take a photo that won't be archived: transform the "urge to document" into "seeing the present." Write words that will vanish: pour out the noise in your head. Scribble a few lines: give your emotions a temporary outlet. Speak to the air: no answers required, just the release of your voice. Why it’s perfect for the "AI-Anxious" era: No pursuit of efficiency, no streaks, no rankings. No pressure of "you're not doing enough." Helps you switch from "constant input" back to "sensing your body and breath." Privacy & Experience: No cloud-based accumulation or digital clutter. Minimalist, low burden, and zero distractions. Perfect for 3-5 minute "micro-recovery" moments (during commutes, before bed, or after information overload). DeadClaw isn’t a Swiss Army knife. It’s simply a reminder: Some moments don’t need to be optimized—they just need to be lived.
