Interface illustrationFind high-octane fuel across Canada and the United States, with location search, grade filters, and directions.
The original Ontario fuel finder grew into a Canada and U.S. edition. Browse by country, province, state, or city, filter by fuel grade, and get directions to a station. Regional coverage notes make the limits of the data clear.
Interface illustrationA personal beer journal for scanning labels, saving tasting notes, and discovering Canadian breweries.
Keep track of beers you have tried and the notes that make them worth remembering. Label scanning helps capture a new find, while the brewery map makes it easier to explore Canadian producers.
Interface illustrationA curated collection of AI tools for solopreneurs, small businesses, and teams looking to work more efficiently.
A resource built around helping small businesses navigate AI tools. Explore options for everyday tasks, productivity, and automation without starting from an endless list of unfamiliar products.
Interface illustrationA household finance tool for keeping bills and payment records organised in one place.
HomeLedger brings household bills and entries into a single view. A separate multi-user edition is in development, with individual account ledgers and account security features. That edition is still undergoing validation.
Interface illustrationThe online home of my mechanical business, with a dark industrial style and warm amber accents.
The mechanical business is the hands-on side of A. McIver. Its website brings that identity online through a direct layout, a charcoal palette, and details inspired by metal and welding sparks.
The collection keeps growing. Each project starts with something worth figuring out.
I’m Alex McIver. Most of my projects start with a simple thought: there has to be a better way to do this. I build tools around my own interests and everyday challenges, then keep refining them into something others can use.
