A small workshop, building tools that actually run.
techru is an independent software practice. No product roadmap slides — just working systems, kept small enough for one person to understand end to end.
What's running right now
Each of these is a live system, not a mockup.
SMS & RCS assistant active
A conversational AI assistant reachable by text. Messages are encrypted at rest (AES-256-GCM, per-contact key derivation) — nobody on our side, including us, can read stored conversation content. It's an automated assistant, clearly labelled as such, with a human always reachable behind it.
Group messaging tools active
Membership and moderation automation for large group chats — the unglamorous plumbing that keeps a community usable as it grows.
Desktop & device utilities active
Small, focused desktop tools for flashing and recovery workflows — built for people who'd rather understand the tool than trust a black box.
Web & media tools active
Browser-based players and search tools built around curated, community-maintained catalogs.
Run by one person, on purpose
techru isn't a company in the traditional sense — it's the name under which one developer ships and maintains real tools. That's a deliberate choice: every system here is small enough that one person can be accountable for exactly how it works, what it stores, and who it talks to.
If something an assistant sends you looks wrong, or you'd rather talk to a person, reach out directly — every automated channel here has a human behind it.
