The Promise

Built on three principles.

Ownership Over Rent-ship

I’ve spent many years watching software turn into a monthly utility bill. I believe that if a tool runs<br>locally on your device, you should buy it once and own it forever. At Code and Sea, we don't do recurring<br>fees for local software.

Intentionally Slow

I balance this venture with a full-time career and the daily management of ME. My constraints are my<br>strength; I build only what matters, with absolute focus on quality and longevity rather than "growth at all<br>costs."

Radically Transparent

No corporate polish or "team" facades. I’m building in public—sharing the code, the technical hurdles, and<br>the personal transition from the corporate engine room to the coastal horizon.

Now Docked

Transcendence

This app is the first expression of these principles in practice—built for you to own, with no tracking, no<br>social distractions, and no monthly fees.

A minimalist meditation timer for a deeper, distraction-free practice.

Born from a daily practice started in July 2016, Transcendence is built for the self-directed practitioner.<br>No social features, no intrusive tracking, and no monthly bills. It’s the tool I needed for my own<br>journey, so I decided to build it myself.

Privacy-First

Your data stays on your device.

True Ownership

A one-time purchase to unlock premium features<br>forever. No subscriptions.
