Fair Bear Labs is Adam Boulware's AI-native workspace: part lab notebook, part tool shed, part tiny launchpad for experiments with agents, developer experience, and human-friendly automation.
The work here is intentionally exploratory. Some ideas become tools. Some become notes. The best ones make software feel a little more collaborative, legible, and fun to build.
- descry - sink-agnostic, event-sourced HTTP uptime engine (Go, CloudEvents 1.0) with a two-layer, rebinding-resistant SSRF guard. Runs in production in my homelab.
- rolodex - merges and deduplicates vCard exports from iCloud and Google. Scored matching, union-find clustering, interactive TUI review.
- bear-app-rag - semantic search over your Bear notes, running entirely on-device and exposed to AI agents through MCP.
- choosepaste - macOS menu bar utility that pastes clean Plain Text or Markdown from any copied HTML/RTF. Swift app, Go transform engine.
- Agentic tooling experiments
- Developer workflow sketches
- Small utilities with a bias toward usefulness
- Notes from the edge of "wait, computers can help with that now?"
The human behind this account is @adambware. Fair Bear Labs is where the more experimental work gets room to breathe.
