One format, many personalities

Little apps.
Real objects.

A slop can read like paper, operate like an instrument, or take on a shape of its own. These are live, in-memory demos—give them a try.

A file, not an account

Everything travels with the document.

A slop is not a thin shell around somebody else’s cloud. It is a file you own, with its interface and durable stores together in one place.

Make it yours

Every slop can feel like yours.

Theme-ready slops expose a small set of colors and type choices. Pick a look yourself or ask your AI to write an override. The app stays intact, and the appearance travels with your file.

Changes flow both ways. Use the interface when that is easier; use an editor or AI when that is faster. An open slop updates in real time.

Make the tool you actually want

Describe one small job. Get one small app.

Start from a sentence or fork an existing slop. Ask your AI to change the layout, add a field, restyle the object, or wire up a different local store. You keep the source project and the finished file.

Share software without starting a startup

No hosting. No database setup. No auth maze.

Build one signed, source-free .slop and publish it to the catalog. People download a working local object; you do not inherit a tiny production system just because you made a useful tiny app.

Share the result

The app can stay local. The work can go anywhere.

Export a crisp PNG or a PDF with selectable text and vector output. Send the invoice, print the recipe, drop the plan into a message—without asking the recipient to install anything.

  • Editing controls disappear from captures
  • Full document height, not a cropped window
  • Preview and Finder icon stay with the file

Download a published template, open your own writable copy, and adapt it to the way you work. Every slop is a starting point, not a constraint.

Questions, answered

The small print, in plain English.

What is a .slop?

A .slop is a tiny app or living document you can open, move, duplicate, share, commit, and keep. Its interface and local data travel together as one package.

Where does my data live?

In the writable document on your Mac. A slop can use JSON, named media, or no persistence at all. The public catalog never stores your local document.

Can an AI edit it?

Yes. Your AI can work with the same ordinary local data you do. Edit the UI and the file changes; edit the file and an open slop updates in real time.

Can I change how a slop looks?

Theme-ready slops expose a validated set of colors and type choices as --slop-* variables. Your overrides live in stores/theme.css, apply without reloading the app, and stay with your document.

Do I need to host anything?

No. A published slop is a signed, source-free artifact people can download and run. You do not need to deploy a web app, provision a database, or build user accounts just to share a useful little tool.

Can I share the result without sharing the app?

Yes. Export the current document as a high-resolution PNG or a PDF with selectable text and vector output—handy for invoices, recipes, plans, and anything meant to leave your desktop.

Small files. Big ideas.

Put your next tiny tool on your desktop.
