Small tools for the daily mess
The kind of thing you reach for without thinking: it takes the wobble out of one annoying job and then gets out of the way. Everything runs on your own machine — no uploads, no dashboards to log into, nothing held hostage.
No signup. Two are live and free right now.
There's one guy back here
No team, no support desk, no "we". Pick a door — he'll turn around.
What's built, and what's next
One tool at a time, shipped when it's actually useful. Vote for what you want next — it genuinely decides the order.
GuideGen
Record a workflow in your browser once. Get numbered steps with annotated screenshots — and one click copies the whole thing as text an AI can act on. Exports as a web page, Markdown, PDF, slides or a narrated video.
Clocked
Drop your calendar export and find out how many hours of the year went to meetings — and how many person-hours they consumed across everyone in the room. Read in your browser; the file is never uploaded.
Cut
Drop a recording once: it takes out every silence and three-second fumble, burns in captions that land on the word, and cuts the vertical clips worth posting. The speech model runs in your tab — a 400MB file never leaves your machine.
Paper
Merge, split, sign and redact PDFs without uploading a confidential contract to a stranger's server. Every online PDF tool sends your file away. This one can't — it never leaves the tab.
Ledger
Turn bank and card statements into a categorised sheet, on your own machine. The alternative is handing your entire financial history to a website you found in a search result.
Shrink
"Too big to send." Trim and compress a video right in the browser — no upload, no watermark, no 200MB limit on a free tier.
Blur
Drop in a screenshot; it finds and hides card numbers, IDs, emails and faces before you paste it into a group chat. The thing everybody forgets to do.
Minutes
Meeting notes without a cloud bot joining your call. Transcribes on the device, so a conversation about customer data stays a conversation about customer data.
One promise, and it's the whole point
Every tool here runs on your machine. Not "encrypted in transit", not "deleted after 30 days" — it doesn't leave in the first place.
Nothing is uploaded
Your files, screenshots and recordings stay on your computer. When something does need to leave — publishing a guide as a shareable link — you press a button that says so, and only that one thing goes.
No account for the sake of it
If a tool doesn't need to know who you are, it won't ask. GuideGen needs one only because it can publish and share.
Boring on purpose
No subscription to forget, no dashboard to check, no AI wrapper around a text box. A small thing that does one job and stays out of your way.
Get the next one when it lands
One email per tool, nothing else. No newsletter, no drip sequence, no "hey, just circling back".
Built in the open by one person. Read the source — including the parts that decide what never leaves your machine.
