About
Local Toolworks is a personal side project: six small, focused utility tools built to handle everyday tasks without sending your data anywhere.
The tools
- Document Hygiene — inspect and scrub metadata from images and PDFs.
- Media Optimizer — resize images for platform limits.
- Time Coordinator — find shared meeting windows across time zones.
- Payload Workbench — format, convert, and encode payloads.
- RAG Cleaner — convert text or HTML into deterministic Markdown and JSONL chunks.
- Text Hygiene — inspect invisible Unicode and review writing-quality patterns without uploading text.
Why browser-local
Every tool processes your files and text entirely in your browser: no uploads, no accounts, no cloud storage, and no content telemetry. The data stays on your device unless you choose to download a result. This is the one promise that holds across all six tools — see the Privacy Policy.
Status
Local Toolworks is being prepared for its first public launch. No advertising, tracking, or analytics services are running, and no consent-management platform is configured — the Cookie settings control in the footer states the current status.
How the tools are verified
Each tool is checked locally before any change is accepted: unit tests,
TypeScript type checks, production builds, and browser smoke and
accessibility checks, all recorded under docs/evidence/ in the repository.
