Brackish Commons, tools built to be owned

Brackish Commons

The software side of Brackish & Co., built by me, Jules Marsh. Each tool stands on its own, while sharing a commitment to useful, accessible software that belongs with the people doing the work.

A suite for the common good.

[The common ground]

Different work. Shared principles.

You do not need one tool to use another. They share a maker, careful source work, plain language, and a refusal to turn software people depend on into endless rent. Compass Commons is the newest member of the family, and the clearest expression of why the name fits.

Whale Watch

For people watching from shore.

A live map of recent orca and whale reports, with shore viewpoints.

Coast Guide

For people exploring the West Coast.

Harvest rules and coastal access across Washington, Oregon, and California.

Compass Commons

For people building intentional communities and shared places.

A cooperative workroom for governance, proposals, meetings, land research, funding, shared knowledge, and the people doing the work.

TideEx

For anyone who walks the intertidal.

A map-first tide explorer for the West Coast: mapped spots across Washington, Oregon and California, per-beach exposure windows built from NOAA gauges, access tags, a three-state harvest guide, and a community field log.

Project Brackish

For farms running more than one crop.

A farm and production operations platform for petal pushers, kelp keepers, and everyone bobbing between. Multi-trophic operations on one ledger.

The direct app address could not be reached during this review. The case study remains available.

BrackishBooks

For small aquaculture and agriculture operations doing their own numbers.

Per-product pricing, enterprise budgets, twelve-month cash flow, and annual projections under one roof.

Brackish Course

For people who work on the water and want to run it like a business.

An online school with nineteen modules, editable templates, graded checkpoints, and a certificate you actually earn.

Want something like one of these?

I build these same kinds of tools for other people. Here is how a build goes.
