StepOClock
A watch face for the Garmin Instinct 2X, designed to make daily step goals easier to track at a glance.
I build tools for weirdly specific needs.
Useful tools for needs you did not know you had.
I’m Stéphane Poulin, a software developer working in quality assurance for globally deployed applications in the international aid sector. Outside of work, I build practical web tools that make everyday problems easier to solve.

Public Projects
Selected work that is already out in the world and meant to be used.
Soon Public Projects
Projects that are getting close to release, but still need a little more polish before going public.
Basho Countdown
A Stream Deck app that shows a countdown to the next basho. It is currently in testing, with a few more improvements to make before going public.
Ongoing Projects
The ideas currently getting real attention, iteration, and hands-on building time.
Duo Balance
An iOS and Android budgeting app designed to help two people stay aligned on shared spending, personal contributions, and everyday financial clarity.
Food Fitness
A cross-platform mobile app focused on the overlap between nutrition and everyday life: meal planning, pantry inventory, grocery cost tracking, and reminders for favorite products.
Apple Music Discovery Playlist Generator
An iOS and macOS app for generating Apple Music playlists that encourage music discovery. It will probably make its way to Spotify too, and I am also thinking about how a similar idea could work with Bandcamp.
Private Projects
Projects built for my own workflows first, without a clear plan to turn them into public products.
LimeSheet
A personal CLI tool that extracts activity data from the Timelime app and pushes it into Timesheet, an internal tool used at my day job, with less repetitive manual work in between.
LimeStatus
A small automation that reads the currently running Timelime task and syncs it to my Slack status, while staying careful not to overwrite a manual status I set myself.
NeoRecords
A private export utility for pulling structured data out of NEO tables and turning it into cleaner CSV outputs for downstream use.
Ambient Playlist Generator
A private automation that generates long-form ambient Apple Music playlists for focused work, with a curated tone aimed at discovery, sequencing, and low-distraction listening.
Private Projects I Could Release but Won’t
Useful things that could probably help other people too, but are staying personal for now.
SwiftBar VPN Status
A SwiftBar extension that shows whether my router VPN is active, using my current public IP as a quick signal in the macOS menu bar.
Portfolio Pulse
A personal SwiftBar menubar tracker for portfolio data, built to surface market movement quickly without opening a browser tab every time.
Private Projects I Probably Should Not Publish
The kind of project that feels a little too useful to stay private, and a little too questionable to release.
Sumo Extractor
A basho video extraction script that pulls footage and automatically assembles edited videos with minimal manual work.
Press Keeper
An automation script that keeps my session active with a popular online magazine reader so I can jump back in without friction.
Read Comic Offline
A comic extraction and downloader tool built to pull image-based chapters and package them for easier offline reading.
Outdated Projects
Older versions and ideas that still mattered, even if I would not build them the same way today.
Duo Balance
The first private Android-only version of Duo Balance, built around the same shared budgeting idea before the broader iOS and Android rewrite.
Food Fitness Prototyping
The first prototype explorations for Food Fitness, built as early concept work before the current direction, using Ionic to test the idea quickly.
Beyond the Ordinary
A couple of experiences that say as much about the person as the projects do.
VSO | Rwanda | Gatagara
I volunteered as a computer science teacher at a school for children with disabilities affected by the Rwandan genocide. It was a deeply meaningful experience that still stands apart.
Service Aérien Gouvernemental
I worked on flight planning software for government aircraft, including air ambulances, Canadair CL-215 water bombers, and certain helicopter models, while also integrating support for Bombardier Challenger 500 specifications.
