I started BafGo because I wanted to build tools that actually solve real problems — not chase trends or raise rounds. Small businesses don't need more noise. They need practical, honest tools that earn their place by being genuinely useful.
BafGo Kitchen came from a simple frustration. Every cooking timer I tried was a single countdown in a list — which doesn't match how anyone actually cooks. When you're juggling a searing pan on the front-left burner, bread proofing on the counter, and a casserole in the oven, you're not thinking in timers. You're thinking in places: front-left, top rack, griddle.
So we built the opposite: a map of your kitchen with time attached. Tap a burner to set a timer, watch it glow, or just talk to it with your hands covered in flour. It's free, it's private (everything stays on your device), and it works offline.
BafGo is a product of Silly Goose Interactive Corporation, a Missouri-registered company. We are not a venture-backed startup chasing growth metrics. We are a small, focused team that builds tools we would actually want to use, and offers honest consultancy work for people who need it.
I also run Burge.Coffee, a resource for learning about coffee and home roasting. Different domain, same philosophy: build things that help people get better at what they care about.
We are still building, which means we have the flexibility to actually listen and the focus to move fast. If you have a question, a feature idea, or just want to tell me I'm wrong about something, I would genuinely like to hear it.
