Why IntMaxx exists

I'm Alex Beck. Most of the tools I wanted didn't exist, cost more than they were worth, or came wrapped in an account system I didn't ask for. So I started building them, and filming the process.

This site is where the finished versions live.

What this is

IntMaxx and IntMaxxing feed each other. IntMaxxing, the YouTube channel, is where a tool gets designed, argued with, and debugged in public. IntMaxx, this site, is where the result ships: a download, a repository link, and a page explaining what the thing does.

The name is half a joke about maxing out a stat. The serious version: intelligence is now a commodity, and most of us run hardware and models capable of far more than the software we point at them allows. Closing that gap, turning cheap intelligence into a better way to live and work, is the whole project.

I'll say the quiet part out loud. A lot of people are scared of AI. Handled well, I think it points somewhere good: an excess of goods and services where people choose what they do instead of having to work. I'd rather help build toward that than sit it out.

What it won't do

A short list, because these are the promises that matter:

• No telemetry. The tools don't phone home. Not for crash reports, not for "anonymous usage stats," not for anything.
• No paid tier. Features don't get held back to create an upgrade path.
• No closed binaries. If you can download it, you can read the source that produced it.
• No data brokering. Nothing to sell, because nothing gets collected.

These aren't launch promises that quietly expire in eighteen months. They're the reason the project is worth doing at all.

How it's funded

Patreon, and only Patreon. No ads, no affiliate links, no sponsor segments in the software.

To be precise about what support buys: it doesn't unlock anything. Every tool stays exactly as free and complete for someone who pays nothing as for someone who pays. Support buys time, the hours that go into the next tool.

What's next

The first releases are in progress. Each ships here and on GitHub alongside the video that builds it.

One honest thing: to build software that matters, I need feedback, and to get feedback I need users. If you try something and it helps (or breaks), telling me is the most useful thing you can do.

To catch releases as they land, subscribe on YouTube. To just grab the software, the downloads page is the only page you need.
