Selected Work

A small set of things worth looking at. Useful over impressive.

AI Meter

A quiet, local-first usage meter for Cursor, Claude, and Codex — menu bar, iPhone, and Apple Watch. No account. No dashboard refreshing.

AI Meter All accounts popover showing Cursor, Claude, and ChatGPT usage

CursorStack

Group Cursor windows into a logical tabbed stack. Real windows. A tab strip on top.

Daily On Plan

Stay on plan. One day at a time. A personal, on-device daily nutrition sheet.

BudMath

Ounces to grams, and the portion mix, without a spreadsheet.

Web · JS

View project →

GLauncher

Group the apps you always open together. Launch them as one.

Windows

Doteq

Keep .env in sync with the example — keys only, never overwrite.

CLI · Python

Workbench

Experiments, prototypes, and things I’m figuring out. Not products.

In use

Product Analysis Pipeline

A cited, gated workflow that turns product evidence into a local model, then a Linear dry-run — and only writes tickets when a human says so.

Planned

Scout

Always-on research for independent automotive repair. Evidence first. Humans still decide the roadmap.

What I Build

The domains I work in most.

Native Apps

macOS, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, widgets, and focused utilities.

Developer Tools

Things that make building, monitoring, or understanding software easier.

Systems

APIs, integrations, backend services, and operational workflows.

AI + Automation

Agents, research pipelines, document analysis, and workflow tooling.

About

JamesWare is the independent software studio of James Jewhurst. I’m a software architect and product-minded engineer who likes building useful systems from end to end — from product and UX through architecture, implementation, and operations.

My professional work has included software platforms, APIs, integrations, automotive systems, communications, developer tooling, and engineering infrastructure. JamesWare is where I build the smaller tools, native apps, experiments, and ideas I want to exist.

I care about software that is fast, understandable, thoughtful, and genuinely useful. Deep experience building software for automotive operations sits underneath that — shop management, scheduling, communications, integrations — without making JamesWare an automotive-only company.
