I’m a writer whose other passion is programming. From 2015 to now, I’ve earned my living as a ghostwriter. Due to recent developments, the job market for ghostwriters has dropped precipitously, and over the last two years, I’ve been building tools for my own use, to create evidence of my manual work process in case anyone ever falsely accuses me of using AI to do my writing.

iTypedMyPaper is the first public version of these tools, intended for professional writers as well as students and schools. The code for the desktop app (used to create keystroke evidence locally and then send it to the iTypedMyPaper server) is free open source software under the MIT license. The iTypedMyPaper service will be paid on either a monthly or per-report basis, but it’s completely free throughout spring semester 2025.
