About

Headless Mode is a one-person software studio. I’m JP, and I build software for real work — free tools alongside full products.

The systems share one through-line: make the correct thing structural instead of remembered. driftless has no field to type a percent complete into — the number is computed from one store. redactcam refuses to produce a file whose mask leaves a vehicle cabin uncovered. keycut cuts only where the file’s keyframes actually are. A rule you have to remember eventually gets skipped, so I build the rule into the structure instead.

What I build

Everything I’ve built, and how far along each piece is, is on the homepage roster. Each one’s page carries its download or install command and its documentation.

Where things are

Based in Franklin, North Carolina. My consulting practice is Back Road Creative. Headless Mode publishes the software; Back Road Creative scopes and runs engagements. Code and issues are on GitHub; shorter updates are on X.
