He quit. You get the results. Three repositories, twenty-one tools, eighteen platforms — the engine that runs the business, the film platform that runs the studio, and every standalone kit he built along the way. No paid tier, no license fee, no enterprise contact form. Clone it, change it, sell it.
The short version of what this is, since there is no famous paid product to compare it to: software that runs on your own machine, answers to you, and is finished taking your money. Almost none of it needs an account. Most of it needs no network at all.
Twenty-one self-contained HTML files. Unzip, double-click one, it works — offline, on a plane, behind a firewall.
The film production platform, exactly as it runs evolumstudio.com. Flask and SQLite. No AI anywhere in it.
The whole engine. Eighteen industry platforms served from one FastAPI codebase by reading the Host header.
Overpromising here produces exactly the frustration this release is meant to end. So, plainly:
Each kit is one HTML file. No build step, no server, no dependencies, no API keys, no accounts. Verified by grep across all twenty-one: zero fetch, zero XMLHttpRequest, zero WebSocket, no telemetry. Nothing is sent anywhere. The only external references are nine ordinary hyperlinks, and nothing loads unless you click one.
Evolum Studio and the engine are Python web applications. They cannot be one click in the same way — you need Python installed. Both zips ship START_HERE.command for Mac and Linux and START_HERE.bat for Windows: they build the environment, install dependencies, generate a SECRET_KEY, start the server and open your browser. One double-click after unzipping. The Evolum launcher was tested end to end on a machine with no python3-venv — it detects that and falls back to a user-level install rather than failing.
Twenty-one business tools. Each one is a single HTML file: you fill in a form, it computes, and it generates the deliverable. Open it in a browser and it works — offline, behind a firewall, on a plane.
The film production platform that runs evolumstudio.com. Not a demo, not a cut-down version — the live code.
No AI. Not "AI optional" — none. The script analyzer is a deterministic engine: same screenplay in, same analysis out, every time. No API key to buy, no per-call cost, no rate limit, no vendor who can change the terms. The demo slate that ships with it is six invented sample projects.
Eighteen industry platforms from one codebase. A vertical is a row in a dictionary; the middleware reads the Host header, and the same application serves as a film studio, a construction firm or a record label.
This is the code running developumaiengine.com and the vertical sites. This one does use Claude, and you bring your own key — so the AI bill, if you want one, is yours and not a subscription to anybody.
All three repositories carry the full unmodified Apache 2.0 text, a NOTICE file and a copyright line. Mozilla's PDF.js is bundled in the engine and carries its own licence plus attribution in NOTICE.
One HTML file each. You fill in a form, it computes, and it writes the deliverable. Every row below downloads that single kit on its own — zip it out, double-click the HTML, done. All twenty-one verified serving on July 26, 2026. Full listing here.
Thirteen are four-sided marketplaces — a primary, the talent, the money and the fans. Five are single-surface. Adding a vertical is content, not code.

DADS is a normative technical specification for the transition from probabilistic, cloud-dependent autonomous execution to a deterministic, air-gapped, compiled-binary architecture.
Current regulation treats AI as an uncontainable black box that needs continuous human oversight. DADS proposes the opposite: that autonomous systems should be governed by compiled code rather than written policy.
This is why everything above is shaped the way it is. Every piece of it runs locally, deterministically, and without a vendor in the request path. DADS is the theory; the three repositories and the eleven products are the practice. Editions 1.1 and 2.0 are pending.
Five tools that share one property, and it is the property the whole estate is built on: they run on your own machine and send nothing anywhere. All free.
Customisable AI teammate crews and map-based workspaces, entirely on your own hardware. Built for individuals, families, small teams and regulated fields — legal, medical, finance. Your prompts don't leave the box, and the last payment you made was your last payment. Download-only and free; the site tells you what hardware to buy and where, and he doesn't sell machines.
Generates pre-filled legal dispute letters and court filings for people facing identity theft and debt lawsuits. Runs locally with no cloud tracking, on deterministic Python regex logic rather than an AI model. Court-ready documents in under four seconds. Free — with a donation button, which stays.
Translates military service experience into civilian job-market language, for service members within six months of separation. Entirely client-side, no account, no payment, no data collection.
Not the same thing as The Transfer Protocol in the kits: that one is a general analog-to-tech career kit. This one is specifically military to civilian.
Free, anonymous study platform for US military recruits preparing for basic training, across all six branches. In The Booth, an AI Drill Instructor grades recitations without revealing answers — you earn the mastery rather than being handed it.
Lifecycle management across three phases — starting a venture, building the entity, planning the legacy. Data is purged automatically; no residue left behind.
Simutum runs up to 100,000 simulations against AI agent behaviour, tracking cognitive drift, role confusion and performance under interruption and context switching — production reliability work for developers and researchers. Tutelum sits on top of it: virtual focus groups and cohort auditing, testing a concept or a message against simulated buyers, offline and local-first, with ASCII-rendered scenarios scaling to 100-agent cohorts. The Simutum subscription and trial were removed. Both free.
Every paid surface in the estate was switched off on July 26, 2026. Verified by request, not by assumption.

One clarification, because it would be easy to overclaim: filmmakers and artists using the platform can still paste their own payment link so their supporters can pay them. That is a user feature. The platform itself takes nothing.
Cal.com gave away Calendly and did well on it. Medusa gave away Shopify and did well on it. Both had a one-line pitch, and this doesn't, because no famous paid product does what this does. Sharetribe is the cautionary version: open, adopted, then pulled back behind a custom licence. This one is Apache 2.0 with a fresh root and a single commit. There is nothing to pull back behind.
Thirty-four years as a first assistant director, then a turn to building AI systems and original content through Evolum Studio. Everything on this page came out of that turn.
His site states that the shift was bound up with his recovery from alcohol addiction in 2026. It is his to disclose and it is stated there in his own words.
The rest of the answer to "why give it all away" is on his page rather than this one.
founder.developumaiengine.comEverything here is provided as-is, with no warranty of
any kind, under the Apache License 2.0. It is given away, not sold,
and there is no support commitment, no uptime guarantee, and no roadmap you can
rely on. If it breaks, it is yours to fix.
Individual tools carry their own disclaimers — several draft legal
or financial documents, and one concerns children. Read the disclaimer inside
whichever tool you use. Nothing here is legal, financial, medical, or
professional advice.
