I'm Gav — one person building the software I wish existed. Most of it you can run on your own server, because I'm slowly untangling my life from big tech and taking my tools with me.
01 — Products
Private meeting transcription. No bot joins your calls. Audio captured at the OS level, transcribed live with whisper.cpp. Nothing leaves your machine — summaries run on a local model or your own API key.
Learn more →Private video calling. No chat, no bloat. End-to-end encrypted, self-hostable, open source. One Docker container is all it takes.
Learn more →Privacy-focused app discovery and comparison. Find open-source alternatives to the apps you use, compare them honestly, and generate Obtainium configs to make the switch.
Learn more →AI-planned weekly meals, in a real app. Plan the week conversationally with any MCP-capable AI chat — the plan becomes recipe cards, a cook mode, and a grocery list you check off in the store.
Learn more →02 — The journey
I'm pulling my life out of Google — mail, photos, maps, the lot — and moving it onto hardware I own. The journal is where I write up what worked, what broke, and what I'd do differently. The YouTube channel is the same journey with the terminal open.
03 — Support
No investors, no ads, no analytics. Loose Wire is funded by people who find these tools useful. If that's you, you can chip in — and telling a friend works too.
