we have a few bits of free software (or donate to charity for the bigger ones)
latest are a couple of Mac utilities: Photopage produces a web gallery page with index from a folder of photos, and a batch image resizer Optoimager that reduces larger images in a folder to better load times for web use
Bookbinder — is an app that catalogues your bookshelves and bookcases, by using claude ai to ‘read’ photos you take and then puts them in a database with categories, search and sort
next is a 5 elements/astrology profile calculator that generates a constitutional profile drawn from Chinese, western and Indian traditions.(starting points for reflection — not diagnostic tools.)
then there is Matthew’s Switch V2
a simple picture & sound switch for all abilities
“this simple customisable program may allow parents, teachers and helpers to introduce and practice simple switch choices and evaluate whether a disabled child could eventually make use of one of the more advanced and expensive systems”
v3 matthews-switchv3.html — adds carer login: a shared password unlocks a Carers set (photo + voice, editable like any other set) that’s visible to Matthew and carers alike for the current session only, and hides again on reload
All three sharing the same card content via localStorage, so any edits Matthew’s team make to cards in one version carry across automatically — which is a nice bonus.
hosting your own copy
Want to run this on your own website instead of ours, and access edit and settings? It’s just one file with nothing to install.
- Save this page as an .html file and upload it anywhere on your own web space — any folder, any filename.
- Open that address in a browser and it’s running. No database, no build step, no server-side code.
- Use HTTPS, not plain HTTP — carer login needs camera/microphone access, which browsers only allow on secure pages.
- Everything you add — pictures, sounds, PIN, carer password — is stored in your own browser against your own address. Nothing carries over from our copy, and nothing you do is shared back to us.

a covid 19 database in a searchable forum
A Covid-19 database of research articles & links I put together for interested Patients & other Practitioners and Friends & to help with decisions during the pandemic. It is searchable and has a Tag system with a cloud view, to help find stuff, and a roll-over synopsis of each entry.
