Most of tool listed below runs inside your browser tab. Nothing you type, paste, or drop into them travels to a server, and none of them ask you to create an account first. Pick a card, hit Open, and the tool loads on its own page.
Search What It Does, Not What It’s Called
The search box reads the feature lines on every card, not just the titles. Try Verilog, EXIF, or UTF-8 — the right tool appears even though none of those words are in its name.
Filter Down by Category
Thirteen category pills group the tools by what they touch: image, video, audio, developer, PDF, electronics and more. On a phone, open Filter by Category first, then pick one.
Pin Up To 12 Favourites
Hit Save on any card and it lands in your quick-access list at the top of the site. Favourites are stored in this browser only — nothing is uploaded, nothing is tracked.

Do I need an account to use any of these tools?
No. There is no sign-up form anywhere on the site. Click Open on a card and the tool is ready. Nothing is gated, and there is no paid tier hiding behind a free one.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
Most of tool processes your data inside the browser tab using JavaScript. Your PDF, image, or JSON never leaves the machine you’re sitting at. You can confirm it yourself: open DevTools, go to the Network tab, and run a tool — you’ll see no upload request.
Why can I only save 12 favourites?
A quick-access list stops being quick once it holds thirty items. Twelve fits the home page strip and the top menu without scrolling. If you hit the limit, un-save something you haven’t touched in a while.
My saved tools disappeared. What happened?
Favourites live in this browser’s local storage. Clearing browsing data, using a private/incognito window, or switching to a different browser or device all give you a fresh, empty list. There is no account to restore them from, because there is no account.
The search returns nothing for what I typed. Now what?
Try a shorter word. “Minifier” works, “how to minify my stylesheet” does not — the search does a plain keyword match against titles and feature lines, not a natural-language query. Also try the category filter and skim the cards; some tools sit inside a multi-tab studio under a broader name.
Do the tools work on a phone?
Most do, and the directory itself is built for a phone screen. Editors that push a lot of data through the CPU — video timeline work, long audio exports, AI transcription — are realistically desktop tasks. A short clip is fine on mobile; a half-gigabyte file is not.
Can I use a tool with the internet switched off?
The page itself has to load first, so you need a connection to open it. After that, the processing is fully local — you can drop the connection mid-task and the tool keeps working. Two exceptions: the AI transcription and background-removal tools fetch a model file on first use.
Why do some cards cover three or four different jobs?
Related tools were merged into one page with tabs instead of being published as near-identical separate pages. One studio with a background-remover, an object eraser and an upscaler is easier to navigate — and honest — compared with three thin pages that mostly repeat each other.
How often are new tools added?
Roughly a couple each month, and existing tools get rebuilt more often than new ones get added. When a tool is merged into a studio, the old URL redirects to the right tab rather than dying, so any link you saved keeps working.
