Drop a file. Watch nothing happen.

Rather verify than trust? Open DevTools (F12), pick the Network tab, and drop a file. It never shows up.

Watch the Network tab

Open DevTools, open any tool, drop a file. The only traffic you will see is the tool's own code loading. Your file never appears in the list.

No analytics, no tracking cookies

We do not run analytics scripts and we do not set tracking cookies. We cannot see what you open, so we cannot see your files.

Questions

If nothing is uploaded, what am I paying for?

The tools. Building a PDF signer, a video compressor, an IDE, and a speech-to-text engine that all run inside a browser tab is the hard part. The $9 covers that work and keeps the product free of ads, trackers, and upsells.

Is there really no server?

There is a small one, and it only handles your account and billing through Stripe. It never receives a file. Every tool does its work in your browser, on your machine.

Does it work on large files?

There are no artificial limits. Most tools are bounded by your computer's memory. The video trimmer streams from disk, so long recordings are fine.

Which browsers are supported?

Chrome and Edge get everything. A few tools, like the code editor and screen capture, rely on newer browser APIs that Firefox and Safari have not fully shipped yet.

What happens with the AI models?

Background removal and transcription download their model the first time you use them, then cache it in your browser. The model runs on your CPU. Your images and audio are never sent anywhere.

Can I cancel?

Yes, any time.
