Single-purpose web utilities, free to use, no sign-up. Everything runs locally on your device — your files never leave the page.
Somewhere along the way, every tiny utility on the internet grew a paywall. Crop an image — $4.99/mo. Merge two PDFs — sign up first, then 30-day trial, then $9/mo. Convert a file — make an account, verify your email, sit through an ad, and oh, that one’s “Pro only.”
Most of these are five-minute scripts dressed up as SaaS. So I started building the boring, one-off things I keep needing, and putting them here. Always free. No sign-up. No credit card. No ads. Just the tool, in your browser, doing the thing.
All I ask in return: if one of these saves you a minute or a few dollars, tell someone. Send the link to a friend. Post it. Bookmark it. That’s it — that’s the deal.

These tools stay free for everyone if more people know they exist. Here are five things you can do in under 30 seconds:
The one who pays $9/mo for a "PDF Pro" app. They’ll thank you.
X, BlueSky, LinkedIn, Mastodon, a Discord — wherever you hang out online.
"Hey, here's a free thing that does X" — Slack, Teams, group chat, all good.
Repeat visitors are the best marketing. New tools land here every few weeks.
Hacker News, Reddit (r/InternetIsBeautiful, r/webdev), Product Hunt — whatever fits.
