Deepit Magee
Brand, communications and growth. Lately, small pieces of software too.
Six years in journalism and communications, then brand and growth work across education and EdTech. I am finishing an MBA at the University of Birmingham, and building small tools in the margins: I direct AI coding agents, check what they produce, and run the results on my own machines.
- Now
- MBA, University of Birmingham — graduating December 2026
- Building
- Small tools for problems I actually have, hosted on a server of mine
- Before that
- Journalism, brand and growth, in Delhi, Mumbai and Gurgaon
Things I have built
Each of these started as something I wanted for myself. They live in private repositories — I am happy to walk anyone through any of them.
-
Funnel
A Mac app for converting files: photos, video, audio, Office documents and Markdown. Drop a file in, pick a format, press convert. Nothing is ever uploaded.
-
Funes
A quiet Mac app for writing in Markdown, in the style of Ulysses. Your writing stays as plain
.mdfiles, in a folder you choose. -
Medicine tracker
A private log for medicines and blood sugar, added to my phone's home screen as an app. Python's standard library and SQLite, about 24 MB of memory, on a small cloud server that nothing else can reach.
-
Notes
A notes app in the style of Google Keep, on the same server. Plain JavaScript in the browser, Python behind it, no build step and no requests to anyone else. There is no login: my own private network is the boundary.
-
PDF Tools
PDF tools that run in the browser. The server hands over the page and the libraries, and your files are processed on your own device — no upload, no storage, nothing to leak.
-
Therm
Why is this machine hot? A plain-English power and thermal report, in two versions: Apple Silicon and Linux. Same report shape and same voice, entirely different sensors underneath. Missing measurements stay unknown rather than guessed at.
-
DeepSeek Peak
A Mac menu-bar utility that shows whether the DeepSeek API is on peak or off-peak pricing. The API publishes no status endpoint, so it works the timetable out for itself and follows me across time zones.
-
pi-tool-blocks
An extension for the pi coding agent that turns each tool call into one readable line, or hides it altogether, permanently. Only the drawing changes; the agent runs exactly as it did before.
