RUNS LOCAL.

Useful utilities, hand-built on the bench — every one free, every one running entirely in your browser. No uploads, no accounts, no telemetry, nothing saved. Press / and type a tool's name to launch it.

01 $ ls -la ~/tools

Useful executables, zero servers.

Click a row to launch a tool right here — ESC brings you back. Each preview is a live mini-demo of the tool at work. Anything not mounted yet says so; it ships when it's ready.

01

Galley

qr · live

The best free QR code generator for professionals — a full proofing studio with UTM scan tracking, logo support, finder styling, four error-correction levels, and print-grade PNG/SVG export.

Background Remover

images · building

The magic wand for photos — made simple and fun. Point at what you don't want, watch it disappear. Your photos never leave your machine, because there's nowhere for them to go.

SVG for 3D Printing

3dp · in trial

Vector files to printable geometry, built for my own print workflow first. Working for SVG now — the CAD handoff is still being smoothed before full release.

svg input · printable output · bench-tested

 ▶ LAUNCH 04

PDF Made Easy

docs · new

Edit, type, sign, and date PDFs right in the browser — no fluff, no gimmicks. Open the file, do the thing, done. Nothing is uploaded and nothing is saved.

 ▶ LAUNCH 05

Steganography

hidden · new

Hide messages inside images — encoded into the pixels themselves, invisible to the eye, undetectable unless you know to look. Encode on one end, decode on the other.

 ▶ LAUNCH 06

EXIF Viewer & Stripper

privacy · new

Every photo quietly carries metadata — camera, software, timestamps, and often exact GPS coordinates. See everything a file is saying, then strip it clean before it goes anywhere.

02 $ ./no-telemetry --verify

Your files never leave the room.

Every tool on this page runs entirely in your browser. Nothing uploads, nothing saves, nothing phones home — open your browser's network tab while you work and watch it sit silent. That's not a marketing line. It's checkable.

Most "free" web tools are data collection with a UI bolted on. These are the opposite. When you close the tab, the tool forgets you were ever there.

03 $ cat why-built.txt

Each one started as an itch.

Galley exists because Printed Blueprint needed QR proofs with scan tracking and nothing did it right. The SVG tool exists because the printers needed geometry. Every tool here started as something the bench needed and couldn't find — so it got built, the way everything on this site gets built.

The toolbox keeps expanding. When the bench needs it, it appears.
