I build WordPress plugins mainly to scratch my own itch. Most of them solve small, specific problems that I’ve kept running into on client sites and personal projects. They’re all free, open source, and maintained by yours truly.
Biscotti
Biscotti extends the WordPress login cookie expiration to three months, six months, or one year on a per-user basis. Because some folks hate having to keep entering their passwords. Each user picks their own expiration under their profile page, so it stays out of the way for anyone who doesn’t want it. Includes WP-CLI support for managing cookie expiration from the command line.

PLU Redux
PLU Redux displays a “Last Updated” date next to every plugin on your installed plugins screen. Plugins that haven’t been updated in over two years get a warning emoji. It also adds a Site Health check that flags outdated plugins with a critical status. Includes a WP-CLI command for checking last updated dates from the terminal.

Total Pushover
Total Pushover redirects all WordPress emails to the Pushover notification service. Handy for development sites or single-user installs where you don’t want to set up SMTP or a transactional mail plugin. Everything your site would normally email out (including password reset requests) gets sent as a Pushover notification instead.
utf8mb4 CLI Upgrader
This plugin upgrades your WordPress database collation to utf8mb4_unicode_ci via WP-CLI. Some WordPress installs missed the automatic utf8mb4 conversion when WordPress 4.2 shipped. If yours did, it may be silently affecting performance. This plugin walks through each table and handles the conversion.
Find Me Elsewhere
All of my plugins live on GitHub. The ones that are ready for a wider audience are also available in the WordPress Plugin Directory. If you run into a bug or have a feature request, GitHub issues are the best way to reach me — at least about plugin stuff. If you need something else, drop me a line.
