- Crossleaf searches scanned pages on-device; Kırışalım closes a household ledger and minimizes the transfers needed.
Field notes
The Mac desk toys are designed as quiet overlays: the page says clicks pass through except on the ball in Kick Kick, and that the apps stop drawing when nothing moves. Crossleaf’s offline design is tied to documents that users may not be allowed to upload. Kırışalım is the portfolio’s stated exception to its no-server approach: it uses accounts and a server so a household ledger stays consistent across phones.
