BitzDev
BitzDev is a personal web application that lets authorized users sign in with their Google account to securely reach a small set of private, self-hosted tools operated by Jon Truland. Its sole purpose is to confirm who you are and grant access to those tools — nothing more.
What BitzDev does (the purpose of this app)
BitzDev is a single sign-on (SSO) portal for a few privately operated personal services. It is an invitation-only application for the owner and a small number of authorized users — not a public, general-audience product. When you open one of these services and choose “Sign in with Google,” BitzDev:
- Verifies your identity using your Google account,
- Checks whether you are on the owner’s authorized-user list, and
- Grants or denies access to the requested tool based on that.
In short, BitzDev’s job is authentication and access control for the private tools listed below.
The tools BitzDev provides access to
Private API gateway
A personal gateway the owner uses to let his own authorized automation and AI assistants securely reach his data and services.
Fuel-price lookup
A personal tool (“GasFinder”) for checking and comparing local gas prices when planning trips.
Personal automation
Scheduled background jobs that run the owner’s personal and home-automation workflows.
Account access control
Invitation-only access — BitzDev authenticates each user and enforces who is allowed to reach each tool.
Why this app uses Sign in with Google
BitzDev uses Google Sign-In solely to authenticate users. When you sign in, the application receives your email address and basic profile (your name and profile picture) to verify your identity and decide what you are authorized to access. That is the entire reason BitzDev connects to Google.
BitzDev does not request or access your Gmail, Google Drive, Calendar, Contacts, or any other Google data, does not sell your data, and does not use it for advertising. Full details are in our Privacy Policy, and our Terms of Service govern use of the application.
