About LearnHubPlay

What LearnHubPlay is

LearnHubPlay is an independent software studio based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. We do two things. We publish practical guides on working well with the tools you already have, and we build small, focused apps for some of the same problems. The guides are the main work. The apps came out of problems we ran into in our own work, and the guides come from the same place.

What we publish

Our guides are organized into seven topics, each with a hub that explains the subject and gives a short reading path:

• Focus & Deep Work — How attention actually works, why distraction wins, and practical systems for protecting hours of real work.
• Notes & Research — Capturing ideas where they happen, taming browser tabs, and note systems you will still use next month.
• Habits & Routines — What the research says about forming habits, recovering from lapses, and routines that survive real life.
• AI at Work — Prompt templates, reviewing AI output, team policies, and using AI to learn without fooling yourself.
• Websites & AI Crawlers — llms.txt, robots.txt rules for AI bots, crawler logs, and making your site readable by AI agents.
• Screen Recording & Tutorials — Planning, recording, and publishing software tutorials and screen recordings people actually finish.
• Mac Care — Storage, startup items, backups, battery health, and calm troubleshooting for macOS.

Every guide has a list of sources at the end and instructions checked against current software. You can browse all guides or follow the RSS feed to hear about each new one.

Who is behind it

LearnHubPlay is an independent software studio in Amsterdam. The studio writes the guides, designs and builds the apps, and is responsible for what each guide says. The editorial team page lists every guide published here, and the editorial policy explains how we research, check, and correct them.

How we work

Every app starts as a tool we needed ourselves. We prototype quickly, ship early, and refine based on real use. Three principles run through the apps and the guides alike:

• Local-first where possible. Your notes, habits, and recordings should live on your device by default, not on our servers.
• Zero fluff. Small feature sets, fast interfaces, no dark patterns, no engagement bait. In the guides, that means short paragraphs, specific advice, and nothing padded to reach a word count.
• Respect for attention. We build tools that help people focus, so the tools themselves must not become distractions. The same goes for this site.

Editorial standards

We research from primary sources, list them at the end of every guide, flag contested evidence as contested, and tell you how we use AI tools and what we never publish because of them. Advertisers have no influence on what we write, and we do not publish sponsored posts. The details are in our editorial policy.

Our apps

The studio builds the apps below. Our guides mention them only where relevant, and everything in a guide works without them. The apps page has the full details and an honest status for each.

• FocusWall Pro — Chrome extension. Available.
• AgentReady — Web app & API. Available.
• TechCast Studio — Desktop & web. Founding beta.
• Tend — macOS app. Free download.
