Built out of
frustration

Hi, I'm Josh

I'm a developer and cybersecurity student based in the UK. I've been building software for over a decade, from apps and websites to scripts and everything in between.

Studying while working full time made me realise how badly students are underserved by their tools. Browsers let you find research, but not save or organise it. Note apps don't talk to your browser. Citations still take twelve manual steps.

I built Brink because it's a browser that can do it all — and one that treats the iPad for what it actually is: a smaller Mac, not a big phone.

Brink is independently built and funded entirely by its users. There are no shareholders or investors — just a developer who cares about getting it right. Your one-time purchase directly funds everything that comes next.

If you're a student dealing with grades and assignments too, I also built GradePilot — a companion app designed to take the stress out of tracking your academic progress.

Why Brink exists

Brink started as a personal project — a student frustrated with losing research tabs, copying citations by hand, and switching between four different apps just to get through a study session.

Every browser is built for general use. None of them are built for studying the Brink way. Tabs get lost. Notes live in a different app. Citations take forever. Distractions are one click away. Brink was built to fix all of that.

The goal was simple: what if your browser was actually designed for studying? Not a browser with some study features bolted on — a browser where research, focus, notes and citations are first-class citizens from the start.

Brink is an independent app, made by one person, with the goal of making deep work a little easier. It's built for students aged 16 and over who take their studying seriously and want their tools to match.
