About Lanternwright

Short

Lanternwright is Jake, one person making small software that runs on people's own computers and phones. None of it needs an account, and anything paid is meant to be bought once.

Long

Lanternwright is a one-person software studio in the United States. It makes small tools for fairly specific jobs, and most of them started as things Jake built for his own tabletop games or home server. They run on people's own computers and phones, and none of them need an account. Paid features are one-time purchases, and accessibility features are never paid extras. The first one out is Chapterglass, spoiler-safe story maps for authors, on lanternwright.com since September 2026. Netkeep, a profit tracker for part-time resellers, is planned for January 2027.

Screenshots

Every screenshot here was taken with sample data, so nothing in them is anyone's real records. The other products don't have screenshots yet.

• Netkeep: The Sales page. This is Netkeep's built-in sample shop, so every sale and cost in it is made up, After an import, Netkeep lists the buyer columns it dropped before saving anything, The cost-of-goods worksheet for a tax preparer, from the same sample shop
• Caption Glass: The caption bar playing a sample conversation somebody wrote, in a browser. The scene behind it is drawn in code, standing in for a game, and this is not the Windows app
• Counter: The ask it builds for Example Co, using only the other offer entered. All the numbers here are made up, The comparison behind it: three made-up offers next to a current job, line by line. Example Co, Sample Labs and Demo Works aren't real companies
• Kindstart: One thing in Now, its next tiny step, and a timer that counts up. These are sample tasks, Breaking a task down. The first step always takes two minutes or less, The pill sits on top of other windows and shows just the next step
• Readglass: Line focus dims everything but the current line. The article is an example page written for these screenshots, Reading mode, with the letter and word spacing turned way up, Pacer, a Pro feature, moves the line focus down the page at a pace you set. Same example article, Read aloud, highlighting each word as it's spoken. Still the example page
• Prop Press: A newspaper front page, filled in with Prop Press's own sample text. This is the free demo build, A formal letter with a wax seal, A wanted poster, from the same sample story about a missing goat, Readable mode next to the letter as designed. It carries through to printing and every export. Sample text again, Prop Press at phone width. It's easier to use on a bigger screen
• Pacing Companion: The daily check-in. Each tap saves on its own, so a check-in still counts on a rough day, Patterns describe what was logged, and don't try to explain it. The entries here are sample data
• Shelfmend: The one-page health report from shelfmend doctor, run on its sample practice library. Every book in it is invented, The same report in its dark theme. Same invented library
• Thingstead: The session list from Thingstead's built-in demo. The sessions are made up, for three pretend machines, so none of it is anyone's real work, The roadmap: four sessions with no card, two of them in the docs-site lane. Same made-up demo data, At phone width, in the dark theme. Still the demo's made-up sessions
• Mimir: Someone says a name and its card comes up, even when speech recognition hears “Malice Farrow”. This is Mimir's demo, a sample session played from a script, so every name in it is made up, After the game, Scribe writes a recap like this into the vault, with no AI involved. Same made-up session
• Chapterglass: The reader view at chapter 6 of the sample book that ships with it. The places from later chapters are not drawn, and the recap covers the chapter just finished, The editor, with the sample book open. Every place and route carries the chapter it appears in
• Weregild: The home screen for the built-in demo household. Every name, merchant and amount is made up, The swipe deck: one charge at a time, a button per person, split, flag, undo. Sample data, all made up, Importing a bank's CSV: the mapper guesses the columns and shows its guess before anything is saved. Sample data, all made up, Settling a cycle: each person's share of the card and the bills, then the fewest payments that square everyone up. Sample data, all made up
