moltonlava.online / personal systems bench

Useful software, built close to home.

MoltonLava is the working portfolio of Mark Olton: self-hosted, local-first personal projects for AI agents, finance, package tracking, bitcoin records, Android experiments, and the parts of life that deserve better tools.

About the bench

A tinkerer building tools that stay close to the workflow.

Most MoltonLava projects start as personal infrastructure: software Mark wants to run, inspect, modify, and host himself. AI is part of the toolkit, not the whole thesis. The pattern is practical: connect real data sources, keep state local when possible, automate boring edges, and make the system understandable enough to keep living with it.
