The TerkWerX project bench
Built here. Put to work.
Desktop apps, workshop tools, and purpose-built audio hardware. Explore the projects turning everyday frustrations into something useful.
Windows app / Foot control
Tippy
Put USB foot pedals back to work. Trigger shortcuts, multi-step macros, MIDI, and OSC without taking your hands off what you are doing.
Windows app / Hands-on control
Tappy
Give spare keyboards, keypads, and supported MIDI controllers a new role. Build personal command layouts for shortcuts, macros, and creative control.
Windows app / Maker libraries
ForgeIndex
Bring order to drives full of maker and model files. Build searchable, separate libraries with offline vision enrichment and a deliberate review workflow.
Web app / Workshop operations
Forge Index
Workshop
A home for the physical side of making: tools, parts, supplies, documents, and their locations. Organize the shop and find what the next build needs.
Web app / Sunlight analysis
CalculoHelios
Explore solar conditions and shadow analysis in the browser. Bring images, scene references, and solar position together to investigate light and time.
Hardware / Audio engineering
BoomDookie
One line-level input. Eight independent mono outputs. A rackmount bass and subwoofer distribution project built around the custom BD-CORE audio board.
Local-first app / Studio planning
Studio Inventory
Know what you own and where it belongs. Catalog instruments, audio gear, accessories, and software with photos, receipts, manuals, and ownership records—all kept on your own computer.
Windows app / Sample playback
SBXAPC
A standalone APC Mini soundboard built around 64 sample slots. Load audio, record a microphone onto a pad, and use the controller or on-screen grid for playback without a DAW.
Project repository
JOYRIDE
A place to follow JOYRIDE as its public project takes shape. The repository is currently empty; code, documentation, and feature details have not yet been published.
From released software to builds still on the bench. Each project page has its own details, availability, and development updates. Browse all public TerkWerX repositories ↗
Behind the scenes
Not everything lives in public.
The ideas are too good to hide.
A producer’s sample library. A game master’s control desk. A game with something to say. Explore the thinking, workflows, and engineering behind the private side of TerkWerX and TerkTechnologies. The stories are public. The source stays private.
SonicIndex
Your next sound is already in there.
Explore a real 93,010-sample collection through seven Sound map views and 300 sound measurements. Five focused workspaces now include DJ Crate: catalog embedded song tags, browse artists and albums, search metadata and lyrics, and review enrichment. See fresh Windows captures, try the discovery demo, then explore kits, slices and local analysis.
Private alpha · Windows desktop Step inside SonicIndexTabletop Performance Engine
Run the room. Keep the story moving.
Projected tabletop maps, stage displays, audio cues, and MIDI controls share one Windows operator workspace. TPE is an early foundation for letting the game master run the atmosphere without losing the thread of the session.
Initial MVP · TerkWerX_TPE Explore the tabletop engineHeavy-Load
The score goes up. The cost does too.
A browser arcade game that uses its own reward system to make a point. Medals, upgrades, and official praise pull in one direction; the final campaign statistics pull in another. A cheerful presentation becomes a deliberately uncomfortable question.
Private source · Browser game Discover Heavy-LoadBoomDookie
Big personality. Serious audio hardware.
One source, eight independent mono outputs, and a custom BD-CORE board at the heart of a modular bass system. Circuit design, protection, power, and chassis integration form the current prototype work. BoomDookie has its own home for the full story.

Make the collection useful again.
Turn drives full of maker and model files into isolated, searchable libraries. Offline vision enrichment and a separate optional AI review lane help describe what is there while keeping the operator in charge of which suggestions become accepted information.
Private source · Desktop library tools The thinking behind ForgeIndexForge Index Workshop
Know what’s in the drawer. And which drawer.
A workshop’s equipment, parts, locations, photographs, and documents belong together. Phone-first intake, structured locations, and QR labels connect the physical object with its record. A separate publishing workflow keeps public sale listings apart from private inventory details.
