Harbour Entry

Building the bridge between the engine room and the shoreline.

Simple, intentional software with no subscriptions, ever. Built for the self-directed practitioner to own, not rent.

I’m building a solo indie venture in the quiet hours—creating the tools I need to manage my health, my work, and my time. Every product here is a step away from the corporate grind and a step closer to a life lived by the rhythm of the tide.

The Promise

Built on three principles.

Ownership Over Rent-ship

I’ve spent many years watching software turn into a monthly utility bill. I believe that if a tool runs locally on your device, you should buy it once and own it forever. At Code and Sea, we don't do recurring fees for local software.

Intentionally Slow

I balance this venture with a full-time career and the daily management of ME. My constraints are my strength; I build only what matters, with absolute focus on quality and longevity rather than "growth at all costs."

Radically Transparent

No corporate polish or "team" facades. I’m building in public—sharing the code, the technical hurdles, and the personal transition from the corporate engine room to the coastal horizon.

Mantra Meditation Timer

This app is the first expression of these principles in practice—built for you to own, with no tracking, no social distractions, and no monthly fees.

A minimalist meditation timer for a deeper, distraction-free practice.

Born from a daily practice started in July 2016, Mantra Meditation Timer is built for the self-directed practitioner. No social features, no intrusive tracking, and no monthly bills. It’s the tool I needed for my own journey, so I decided to build it myself.

One-time purchase means you pay once and own the software forever. There are no subscriptions, no recurring fees, and no surprise charges. You get lifetime access to the version you purchase, plus any updates we release for that major version.
Our apps are primarily built for iOS and macOS. Mantra Meditation Timer is available on iOS. All apps require a one-time purchase with no subscription.
Because our apps are one-time purchases with no subscription or server dependencies, they will continue to work on your devices even if we close. You own the software you purchased, and it remains functional regardless of our business status.
