In Development

Qalam

A modern Urdu word processor and a worthy successor to InPage.

Homeport

Turn a Mac into a private home server in minutes — and run it from your pocket. One setup app configures file sharing, network Time Machine, a media server and photo platform; a companion iPhone app gives you a live dashboard, file browser and remote control, paired securely by QR code.

PhotoDedupe

An AI duplicate photo finder for macOS. Scans any folder — including external drives — and finds exact copies as well as resized, recompressed and edited ones, using a carefully tuned on-device pipeline. No cloud, no uploads: your photos never leave your Mac.

Urdu Voice Cloner

AI voice cloning built specifically for the Urdu language — natural Urdu pronunciation, prosody and poetry recitation that generic voice models get wrong. Born from a project to preserve a poet's voice reciting his own verse.

Self-hosted infrastructure — media, photos, backups and remote access — set up right and kept running.

Roadmap

The road ahead

Plans shift as craft demands — but this is the order of march.

Shipped · June 2026

DoubleSur 1.0 → 1.4

The strategic partnership card game launched on the App Store — online rooms, cross-platform play and smarter AI added across four updates.

Shipped · July 2026

Bashir Zaidi Aseer 1.0 → 1.2.8

Launched on the App Store; both books, night mode, share cards and family announcements added across eight updates.

Next

Android releases — Google Play

Bashir Zaidi Aseer and DoubleSur come to Android, so the whole family — and the whole table — can join in.

Next

Qalam — public beta

The Urdu word processor opens to early testers on macOS, with Windows to follow.

Then

PhotoDedupe — Mac App Store

The duplicate finder ships once the review workflow is as trustworthy as the detection engine.

In Parallel

Streaming, posters, zodiac & voice

The live streaming app, Poster Maker, Chinese Zodiac & Life Path Finder and the Urdu voice cloner grow alongside — each ships when it's genuinely ready.
