Archon C. Locke is a developer, cybersecurity professional, and incurable tinkerer, and the maker behind everything on this page. His work runs from security tooling and supply-chain scanners to MCP servers that wire AI assistants into real systems, native Win32 apps measured in kilobytes, and a few desktop experiments that misbehave on purpose.
The constant is problem solving: finding the sharp edge of a problem, building the smallest thing that actually solves it, and treating integrity as the feature, in both the cryptographic and the engineering sense. Almost everything Locke Werks ships started as something he needed and couldn't buy, so he built it.
A cyberpunk match-3 puzzle game. Hack procedurally generated grids, breach boss firewalls, unlock 29 upgrades, and climb global leaderboards. Original synthwave and metal soundtrack.
An open-source, cross-platform email client built in modern C++. Encryption is architecture, not a plugin. Works with IMAP, Microsoft 365, Gmail, and legacy Exchange behind a single, unified interface.
Every platform asks whether music was made with AI. Attest is the only one that can prove how. Cryptographic provenance for AI-assisted music creation — proof of craft for creators who take their work seriously.
Every photo you take is a claim. Witness makes that claim provable. Capture photos with cryptographic timestamps, SHA-256 hashing at the moment of capture, and an unbroken chain of custody from your camera to the courtroom.
A WeeChat-style Slack client that uses 40MB of RAM instead of Electron's bloat. Real-time messaging, full thread support, rich content rendering, and keyboard-driven navigation. Built with Dear ImGui and C++.
Browser-based baby monitor with peer-to-peer video and audio. One device broadcasts, multiple devices receive with sub-second latency. Zero installation — runs entirely in mobile Safari and Chrome.
The Windows 11 system MCP server every other MCP server wishes it was. 98 tools across 19 categories via direct Win32 syscalls. Sub-millisecond response times. 100-1000x faster than PowerShell-based alternatives.
A full-stack meeting memory system. Captures and transcribes meetings in real time, stores everything in PostgreSQL, and exposes the context to AI assistants via MCP. Local or cloud LLMs, dual audio capture, full-text search across every session.
A desktop application that visualizes and explores AI embeddings and vector search results in real time. See the shape of your semantic space, trace nearest-neighbor relationships in 3D, and understand why a search returned what it did.
A Postgres-backed long-term memory substrate for AI assistants. Ingests conversations, meeting transcripts, and documents via MCP — giving AI assistants persistent, searchable context across every interaction. Local-only, zero telemetry.
A 16KB real-time network ping visualizer with 3D perspective-projected latency graphs. Multi-target concurrent monitoring with zero dependencies — no CRT, no STL, no frameworks. Pure Win32 and Direct2D.
Windows tray app that snips a region of your screen and returns a plain-language explanation from a vision LLM. Global hotkey, drag a rectangle, popup near the capture with chat-style followups. Qt 6 and native Win32, no Electron.
An MCP server that bolts OpenAI's gpt-image-2 onto Claude. Ask for a picture, get one back inline: generate, edit, and inpaint without leaving the conversation. Bring your own key; nothing generated ever touches disk.
Generates style-consistent Unity 2D sprite sets from text prompts via gpt-image-2. Locks a single master reference so every sprite matches, then hands off clean, transparent, metadata-stripped PNGs ready to drop into Unity. Built to be driven by Claude Code.
A little monster that lives on your desktop. He walks along your taskbar, climbs and rappels around your windows, naps when you go idle, and occasionally borrows something on screen before putting it right back. Pure Win32 and Qt, no Electron.
Detects indicators of compromise from the Shai-Hulud npm and PyPI supply-chain attacks. Scans your local project files and your GitHub repositories over read-only API calls, matching against thousands of known-bad package versions and payloads.
Point it at a list of Magic: The Gathering card names and it renders a stack of print-ready proxy cards in one locked art style, using Scryfall data and gpt-image-2. A personal, non-commercial art and playtesting toy for your own table.
A desktop laboratory for Magic: The Gathering decks. Feed it a decklist and it plays thousands of games against the real tournament metagame in its own Rust rules engine, then reports every matchup with win rates and confidence intervals.
A productivity-first remote desktop for driving your own Windows box from an iPad, Mac, or Linux. Full stereo audio stays live even while your mic is open, video runs HEVC/AV1 at up to 120Hz, and the whole thing is self-hosted: no accounts, no telemetry, no cloud.
A desktop app that watches your footage and generates synchronized sound design to match: ambient beds, room tone, and Foley effects locked to the picture. Runs local AI models on your own GPU and exports broadcast-ready stems.
Locke Werks builds tools and experiences at the intersection of security, competition, and craft. From puzzle games with tournament-grade leaderboards to cryptographic evidence platforms, we engineer software where integrity is the feature.
