Hi, I'm James

After 7 years of engineering at startups and dabbling in game dev as a hobby, I now create tools that help me create web apps and games. Each tool is crafted with care, from reset which offers you moments of recalibration to agitodo for tracking your game development journey. They're all designed to not get in your way and adapt to your natural workflows.

FAQ

My current focus is in these categories:

• Personal productivity tools (reset for moments of recalibration or triday for daily reflection)
• Game development tools (like agitodo for tracking your game dev journey)

All tools are web-based, require no installation, and integrate seamlessly with existing workflows. Many offer versions that don't even require a login.

Our tools are specifically designed for:

• Mindful creators and doers
• Solo developers and small teams
• Game developers transitioning from other fields

Yes, all tools currently have a free tier. Here's what you get:

• Full access to core features
• No time limits or trial periods
• Regular updates and improvements
• Premium features will be available for power users and teams

I strive for a consistent update schedule:

• Major releases announced in blog posts and the newsletter
• Continuous (often weekly) refinement based on feedback

Yes, please do! There are several ways to get involved:

• Provide direct feedback via james@kokutech.com
• Subscribe to the newsletter to stay updated on the latest
• Try the free tiers and share your experience
• Follow development progress through blog posts
• Join early access programs for new tools

The key differences are:

• Focus on simplicity and specific use cases
• Designed for natural workflows rather than forced processes
• Many tools work without requiring login or setup
• Privacy-first approach with encrypted data where needed
• Direct connection to users for feedback and improvements

My approach focuses on three key principles:

• Making tools affordable and accessible
• Seamless integration with existing workflows
• Solving specific challenges really well

Rather than building large platforms, I create focused tools that serve clear purposes and respect natural rhythms.

The answer is rooted in Japanese history. Koku comes from Japan's pre-modern time system where hours shifted with the seasons—reflecting my belief that tools should adapt to your natural rhythms. Just as the Japanese time system was built around human patterns, these tools are designed to work with your natural workflow, not against it.
