Voice-first, local-first.
Everything runs on your machine, powered by a local LLM installed on your system. No internet needed, no privacy trade-offs.

Hey, I'm
Hritujeet.
I maketools
A place on the web to explore tech, tinker with ideas, build strange things, and share notes from the process.
A little about me
Curious by nature. Builder by practice.
From first program to full-stack
I started with Python in Class 6. Five years on, I build full-stack products and enjoy taking ideas from first sketch to deployment.
Beyond software
Physics is the curiosity that keeps pulling me deeper—with a long-term goal of exploring quantum mechanics and computing.

Flagship Passion Project
Project JOSEPHINE
A system-level local LLM assistant, built because Windows never delivered a functional alternative to Cortana.
02
Always there, never in the way
Silent in the tray until summoned. Zero friction, zero footprint at rest. Jo is always there when you need her, and never in the way when you don’t.
03
Personality and presence
Not a generic assistant — Jo has a character. Inspired by Jo March from Little Women, she’s a companion, a helper, and a friend.
Have a thought to share?
If something here sparked an idea, raised a question, or just made you want to say hello, I'd be glad to hear from you.
