Independent developer tools, built in Manila.
Anvil Nine is run by Zonily Jame in Manila. Keeping it a solo operation means every tool stays lean, purposeful, and free from corporate bloat.
Each tool does one job well, relies on minimal dependencies, and includes an MCP server so coding agents like Claude and Cursor can run it directly.
Crit Alarm is open source and self-hosted, with an official managed SaaS version on the way. NameScout is live for instant browser lookups, with accounts and MCP integration coming soon. Mobrev is in closed beta.
