Things I've Built

I don't just test other people's products. I build my own.

These are real products built from questions worth testing—across health, work, growth, and everyday decisions.

Approach

Small products, serious product thinking.

Micavo favors narrow, useful products over broad AI demos. The goal is software that feels calm, actionable, and trustworthy in daily life.

01

Decisions, not dashboards

It's 11pm. You're standing in front of the open fridge, leftover pizza in one hand, phone in the other, and you already know how this goes — open a calorie app, guess the portion size, do the math, feel guilty either way. EatOrNot skips all of that. No spreadsheet, no macros to reverse-engineer at midnight. Just one verdict: eat it, or adjust it. Then you close the fridge and go to bed.

02

Context, not guesswork

It's 2:40pm and your to-do list has eleven tasks that all look exactly the same size on the screen — same font, same checkbox, same weight. Somewhere in your calendar, a call starts in twenty minutes that makes three of those eleven matter a lot more than the other eight. Your to-do list has no idea that call exists. Critical Choice does — it reads your calendar first, so by the time you open the app, the quadrant already reflects the day you're actually having, not the day you imagined when you wrote the list this morning.

03

Action, not novelty

Twelve minutes into the call, someone asks a question that wasn't on the agenda, and the whole conversation quietly changes direction. You're supposed to have an answer, and you're supposed to have it now — not tomorrow, in a neatly formatted summary email. Outshine doesn't wait for the meeting to end to be useful. It hands you the sharp question to ask back, the risk worth flagging, and the one line to say next, while you're still in the room and it still matters.
