Photographs,& useful little apps.

Hello, I'm Amr. I photograph cars, people, and places, and make small tools for the creative work around them. Have a look around.

EarGuard

One accidental blast is enough.

If you use sensitive earphones and a dongle DAC, a sudden jump to full volume can feel like a shotgun in your ear. That is why I built EarGuard: choose a limit for each Windows audio device and let it turn the setting back down when something changes.

A brief spike can still get through, and device control varies. Keep listening levels low; EarGuard is an extra precaution, not a hearing-safety guarantee.

Explore EarGuard

Choose a limit, then try an unexpected volume change. This is a quiet demonstration; it plays no audio and does not control your device. Its timing is illustrative.

Example Windows volume25%
0%100%
25%

EarGuard responds when the Windows volume setting rises above this limit.

5%

A lower setting for the first three seconds after reconnecting a device or waking your PC.

Ready to try. Your example limit is 25%.

In real use, a brief spike can get through before EarGuard responds. Windows percentages do not measure listening loudness, and support depends on your device and driver.

Chromastat

A closer look at the color in your photos.

Choose Find Lightroom once and keep live color and exposure views beside your photo. Pin a view where you need it, or arrange a workspace on another screen. Your layout saves for the next edit.

Behind the photos
and the apps.

I’m Amr, an engineer in Dubai. I got into Blender as a kid, and photography became a big part of my life along the way. A lot of these apps started with something I wanted to do with my own photos.

AI has let me build more than I could have managed alone. It’s also changed how I see the work ahead of me. I’m making use of it, with plenty still to figure out.

If something here catches your eye, I’d love to hear about it.

    Commercial Photography

    I shoot cars, people and places, and spend a lot of time with the edit afterwards. I care about how the finished photograph feels, whether it’s for a client or for myself.

    Offline AI Workflows

    I run models on my own computer for writing and image work. I like being able to try an idea with my own files and see where it goes.
