What I do

Hangar is a local-first desktop app with 70+ file tools for Mac and Windows. I build it and I answer the support email. Every test in a guide is run on the shipping app, and on the other apps the guide compares, using the files the guide names. The numbers on the page are the numbers from that run.

How the guides are written

Each guide starts with a real question people search for, and a test I run in Hangar and in the alternatives people already have, such as Finder, File Explorer, Preview or a free app. The guide says where those are enough and where they fall short.

I use AI writing tools to research and draft. An AI agent also runs some of the tests, on my Mac and in a Windows virtual machine, following a test plan I set, and I review every result before it goes in. Before anything is published I check every claim, control name and number against the app and the original sources, and anything that could not be measured is left out rather than guessed. Screenshots and recordings are captured on my machines for that guide. Cover illustrations are generated with an image model and composed by hand.

When Hangar is the wrong tool for a job, the guide says so. I make Hangar, and the guides say that too wherever it matters.
