Built this because I kept finding tools that upload your files to a server. Every tool here runs entirely in your browser — PDF merge, JWT decode, image crop, LLM token counter, etc. Client-side by architecture, not by promise. Happy to answer questions about how any of the tools work

Whenever I see "pro" in a domain name, there's usually a subscription or upgrade waiting for me at the other end, or something I have to sign up for. Nice to see that your site isn't one of those. Thanks for the free tools, man.

Your Privacy-Proof page is also reassuring. I would make it more prominent, but that's just me. It is great that it is there in the first place. Honesty always.

Two questions: - Do you have a GitHub repo for this? - Also: What made you decide on that `.pro` domain? Just curious.

+1 to everything @retmarut said! A GitHub repo for this would be great.

Also, the website's light mode is just glaring! :D

Allow me to suggest a form where people can leave their email to get updates or a newsletter from you! Brevio is the kind of thing that a lot of people look for, and value. The fact you're not charging and it all runs locally earns you a lot of trust and goodwill.

I'm not suggesting monetising your audience or starting a substack, but you never know when having a list of people who are interested in the things you build could come in handy.

I wouldn't even think you'd need to send a confirmation email: just leave it there and see who fills it in.
