It started with an Intel 8088 and a question: why does that text appear on screen? That curiosity never left. After 20+ years building software professionally, I created AurigaLAB — just more then a personal Lab where ideas become real software. Every line of code is a small act of service — toward the person on the other side of the screen, who deserves software that works quietly, honestly, and entirely for them.
Small apps that solve real everyday problems. The best tool is the one you forget you're using.
Desktop apps I've built to smooth out everyday workflow friction — small, focused tools that do one thing well.
A silent guardian for eMule / aMule downloads. MetGuardian runs in the system tray, scans your temp folder at regular intervals, and saves an independent backup of every healthy .part.met file, identified by its MD4 hash. When a .part.met gets corrupted after a crash or power outage, one click restores the last valid version and brings the download back to life.
A desktop UI that turns yt-dlp into a proper video download manager. GRABBIT handles single videos and full playlists, gives you independent control over video quality, audio, subtitles, and output container (MP4/MKV), and runs everything through a persistent queue with concurrent downloads, pause/resume, and retry.
