Akhil building Cache at a laptop

Dec 2025 — now

Cache

Now I build products for creatives, starting with Cache ↗: saves that know why you kept them.

Cache started with my own saves: years of references, and no way back to why I kept them. I built v1 solo, end to end. It is in private beta on iOS and Android.
