About Yogesh

Yogesh is an indie maker who grew up in a village in Nepal and now works as a digital nomad across Southeast Asia, most recently from Bangkok. Yogesh has built and sold two products and writes about building SaaS on a personal site.

The first notable project was Remote3, a job board for web3, crypto, blockchain and DeFi roles that lists thousands of remote positions each month and charges companies to post jobs. While running it, Yogesh noticed ChatGPT showing up as a referrer in the site's analytics, which led to building Promptmonitor in May 2025, a tool that tracks how often brands are mentioned in answers from ChatGPT, Gemini and other AI assistants. Promptmonitor sat at around $500 MRR for months before Yogesh listed it on TrustMRR in January 2026 and sold it nine days later for $85,000. Remote3 has also been sold.

Yogesh now builds Dray, a free, open-source macOS app for running multiple coding agents such as Claude Code and Codex in one window, along with Thinking Orbs, a React component library of animated status indicators for AI agents, and Quick Notes, an always-on-top note app for macOS.
