What is it?

white_cup_transparentPixel Mocha, LLC has a two-fold purpose in my software work. I use it to interface with companies who hire me for software services. It also serves as a name brand for software solutions I produce on my own time.  

Manifold

A Customizable Software Swiss Army Knife

The idea for Manifold came about with time as I noticed the need for random tweaks in small to medium business settings. In its primary state, it is a barebones app scaffold onto which I can add modules that fit the custom needs of clients/users who run their business. Below are a few shots of Manifold as a desktop app for a local equipment rental company that needed to automate some manual work that was time consuming and error-prone.

MochaTime

A Simple Timer That Lends Itself Well to Freelancing and Consulting

MochaTime is a desktop utility I use all the time for my own work. It allows the user to select a workbook on their computer, define worksheets that correspond to projects they work on and to which they want to add billable time. The flow is simple: you select a project from among the worksheets on your projects workbook, you hit the play button, work. When you're done, you hit stop. The start and end times and dates are logged as a single row on the worksheet you selected, and you're done!
