Spiros Raptis · Software & systems engineer
I design, build, and run web products, native apps, and automation. You work directly with the engineer who writes the code, ships it, and keeps it healthy afterwards.
Independent · Based in Thessaloniki, Greece
01 / Services
One engineer across the whole stack, from the interface people see to the systems underneath.
Fast, data-driven web apps that hold up under everyday use, from the catalogue pipeline to the screen your customers see.
Desktop and mobile software that feels at home on its platform and keeps working offline or on a poor connection.
Monitoring, maintenance, and internal tools that take recurring work off your plate and tell you when something needs attention.
Agent and LLM workflows with visible logic, explicit guardrails, and outputs you can inspect, used where they help.
02 / Selected work
Three products in active development. All are public, and you can read the source.
Consumer web product
A shopping list becomes a better buying decision.
Compare the cost of your whole basket across Greek supermarkets. Choose up to four stops, explore price changes, and see when an extra trip is worth the saving.
Version 0.38.2 keeps the other chains updating when one small retailer feed disappears. Affected products stay in saved baskets without stale prices, with a visible warning until the source recovers. Version 0.38.1 added health checks that catch failed refreshes, prices older than three hours, and a stalled scheduler.
The interface moved to a warmer palette with Greek-native type on 29 September 2026. The public health page explains catalogue coverage; price history makes changes inspectable and exportable.
Native operations software
Know what needs attention. Verify what changed.
Native apps for monitoring and maintaining Macs and Linux machines: a macOS menu-bar app, a GTK4 desktop app for Linux, and a read-only Android companion. Health checks, incident history, and confirmed updates in one place.
Fleetlight for Linux 0.4.0 is a native GTK4 and libadwaita app that monitors Linux and macOS hosts directly, with no Mac controller required. It brings a fleet overview, disk and memory sparklines, a CPU load and temperature card, and desktop notifications when a computer goes offline or a service stops.
On macOS, version 4.52 supports native Omarchy update checks and unattended jobs, and refreshes Linux desktop app status on a schedule.

Managed device storage
Media that keeps working when the connection changes.
A web interface and native Android client for a self-hosted media library. Offline downloads keep video, artwork, and subtitles together, with visible storage use and confirmed removal.
Saved titles can acquire additional subtitle tracks while connected and retain them for offline playback. An expired session now leads to sign-in with a clear explanation, and the keyboard gets out of the way after a search.
In progress on Android: more reliable seeking for transcoded titles. The web app remains on 0.26.0 with its browser download manager.
03 / Process
The same loop on every project, whether it takes a week or keeps going for years.
I start from the real workflow: who uses it, what goes wrong today, and what done looks like.
Small, reviewable increments in a repository you can read. Every release is versioned and comes with notes.
Tested where it is actually used, then verified live. A deploy only counts once the result is confirmed.
Monitoring, updates, and a practical path to recovery, so the software keeps working after launch.
04 / Recent work
Recent improvements across products, workflow automation, and the systems underneath.
Version 0.4.0 rebuilds the Linux edition as a native libadwaita app with a fleet overview, trend sparklines, and desktop notifications. Agent quota cards now show the subscribed plan next to what remains.
View the Linux editionThe shopping app moved to a calmer palette, Greek-native type, and cleaner cards in light and dark mode, with no change to how baskets and plans are computed.
Open the appVersion 0.38.2 keeps the other chains updating when a small retailer source disappears. Its products stay in saved baskets without stale prices, behind a visible warning, until the source recovers.
View the changeVersion 0.38.1 restored reliable catalogue synchronization and taught the health check to detect failed refreshes, prices older than three hours, and a stalled scheduler, even when the server still answers normally.
View the releaseFleetlight for Linux shows the remaining Codex and Cursor quota from the signed-in sessions, with Claude added a few days later, and can install tool and package updates as soon as checks find them. Restarts always stay manual.
View the sourceFleetlight on macOS now runs Omarchy's own update checks and unattended jobs, and refreshes Linux desktop app status on a schedule instead of waiting for a manual check.
View the changeVersion 0.38.0 added undo and redo for up to 20 basket edits, search inside the basket by name, brand, or barcode, and a filter for products that fall outside the selected plan.
View the releaseAdded pacman package awareness and native mise updates. The controller verifies the installed result and reconciles earlier update warnings.
View the release workRecent integration work covers remote viewing, shared input, and clipboard transfer between macOS and a Hyprland desktop. Recovery across restarts is an ongoing focus.
Improved recovery when browser routes time out or a review tab needs to be restored. The work keeps evidence, workflow state, and the final handoff aligned.
Kalathi Timon now separates package prices from normalized unit prices. Catalogue checks also adapt to persistent retailer changes after repeated confirmation.
View the changePlex Open Android handles expired sessions explicitly and gets the keyboard out of the way after searching. Offline subtitles received attention earlier in August.

SourceBrowser tools and companion apps that make review work easier to track, inspect, and recover.
SourceA menu-bar utility that brings screenshots into a coding workflow with fewer manual steps.
SourceResearch and execution tooling from an earlier trading focus, retained as part of the engineering record.
SourceCLI tools, scripts, dashboards, and experiments going back to 2012, all on GitHub.

I'm an independent engineer who likes turning a recurring frustration into something useful, then refining it through actual use.
My work spans consumer apps, native tools, automation, and Linux systems. Years of reviewing other people's code have made me strict about clear state, honest error handling, and software that explains what it is doing.
Show what is happening, what changed, and what needs attention.
Test the result where it is used, and keep a practical path to recovery.
Build the simplest thing that survives real use. Abstractions have to earn their place.
Use AI where it helps, and never to hide the logic.
Have something worth building?
A product idea, a workflow that keeps getting in the way, or a system that could be easier to run. Tell me what you are trying to get done.
