Startup — Racep Labs
Together with two friends I am building Märchenfuchs and Lifemate — two apps, one small startup.
Märchenfuchs
An app for personalized bedtime stories for children.

Märchenfuchs tells children bedtime stories that exist only once: with their own name, their favorite topics, matched to their age. Parents set up once what their child loves — the app turns that into a new story every evening.
There is more behind it than a text generator: stories follow age-appropriate narrative patterns, and parents stay in control of topics and length. The goal is an evening ritual children look forward to.
We are building Märchenfuchs as a team of three under Racep Labs. I own the technical side: the Flutter app, the Supabase backend and the story pipeline behind it.
Lifemate
AI-powered everyday companion — calendar, fitness, nutrition, finances and learning in one app.

Lifemate bundles the areas that are usually scattered across five apps: calendar, fitness and nutrition tracking, finances and learning notes — in one interface, with an AI layer on top. Instead of just collecting data, Lifemate helps with planning: training and nutrition plans are generated and adapted to your goals.
Technically, Lifemate is a monorepo with two frontends — a web app for desktop and mobile, and a touch variant for tablets and smart displays — on a shared codebase: Next.js and React on the frontend, Express and Firestore on the backend, OpenAI for the planning features.
Lifemate is my own project at Racep Labs — from architecture to deployment.
