Alice Systems — an independent software studio

Software that helps my family grow.

I'm a software developer building a connected family of tools — for our money, our time, our home, and even our games. Each one is designed to help the people I love develop and grow, in ourselves and together.

A family of products, one system

Five projects, each solving a real problem for real people at home — from money and time to voice, home, and play.

Alice Money

A calm, honest path out of debt.

A finance companion built to help the family get out of debt for good. It maps every balance, models payoff strategies, and turns a stressful subject into a clear, encouraging plan you can actually stick to.

  • Debt snowball & avalanche payoff modelling
  • Shared household budgets and goals
  • Progress milestones that keep momentum

Alice Schedule

One calendar, everywhere the family looks.

A scheduling calendar that spans mobile, web, an always-on wallpaper display in the house, and a digital touchscreen you can walk up to and edit. Add, move, or clear plans from any surface and everything stays in sync.

  • Mobile, web, wallpaper & touchscreen surfaces
  • Walk-up touch editing on the home display
  • Real-time sync across every device

A.L.I.C.E.

Artificial Linguistics Intelligent Compute Engine.

The brain of the ecosystem. A.L.I.C.E. is the language and intelligence engine that understands natural requests and coordinates the other tools — most notably powering Iris Home Automation behind the scenes.

  • Natural-language understanding core
  • Orchestrates the wider Alice ecosystem
  • Powers Iris Home Automation

Iris Home Automation

A home assistant that answers to you.

An alternative to Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Apple Siri — built on the A.L.I.C.E. engine. Iris listens, understands, and controls the home, designed around the family rather than a big-tech account.

  • Alexa / Google Home / Siri alternative
  • Runs on the A.L.I.C.E. engine
  • Voice control for the connected home

Minecraft Colonies Planner

Plan the perfect colony before you place a block.

A planning tool for MineColonies-style towns. Lay out where buildings should go, design the site, and check the numbers that matter — walking distance to work and guard-tower coverage across the whole settlement.

  • Location & site design layout
  • Distance-to-work calculations
  • Guard tower coverage mapping

A.L.I.C.E. sits at the centre

The Artificial Linguistics Intelligent Compute Engine is the shared brain. It understands what the family needs in plain language and coordinates the tools around it — powering Iris Home Automation directly.

Every product can stand on its own — but together they share one intelligence, one design language, and one goal: making everyday family life calmer and more capable.

About

One developer, building for the people I love

I'm the developer behind Alice Systems. What began as solving my own family's problems — debt, busy calendars, a home I wanted to feel smarter and more personal — turned into a small studio of connected products.

I care about tools that are calm, honest, and genuinely helpful. Not attention-grabbing, not data-hungry — just quietly making life a little better for the people around me.

Built for family

Every tool starts with a real need at home. If it helps us grow, it earns its place.

Made end to end

Design, engineering, and the details in between — I build each product from the ground up.

Owned, not rented

Our data and our home stay ours. These are alternatives to big-tech, on our terms.
