Built in the open, one tool at a time

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. Nothing to install to try the demo below.

Do the thing once. Watch it write itself.

This is a pretend admin panel. Click around it like you're doing a real job — search for something, open a record, tick a box. The guide on the right builds as you go, exactly the way our first tool does on real websites.

Your guide 0 steps

Click something on the left.

Nothing here is recorded or sent anywhere — it's a demo running in your browser. The real tool does this on any website, with a real screenshot of every step, and it also exports as a PDF, a slide deck or a narrated video. See GuideGen →

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.

Live

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.

Next up

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.

Idea

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.

Idea

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.

Idea

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.

Idea

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.
