ToolSmyths
Small tools,
well forged.
Toolsmyths is one person's workshop: small web tools, built by hand and put out for anyone to use. Free to use — no account, no ads, no trackers. Private — everything runs in your browser; your files never leave your machine.
See what's on the benchThe bench
five finished pieces, more taking shapeReadmark — a Markdown viewer
LiveThat respects your eyes. Drop in a .md file, read it beautifully typeset — tables, code with copy buttons, task lists, diagrams. Dark mode, print-ready, 100% client-side.
PDF Toolkit — merge, split, rearrange
LiveDrop in any number of PDFs and every page lands on a bench. Reorder by dragging, rotate sideways scans, drop the blank pages, then save it all as one file or just the pages you picked.
Screenshot Beautifier — frame a screenshot
LivePress Ctrl+V and your screenshot lands framed on a clean background. Adjust padding, corners, shadow and window chrome, then save it or copy it straight back to your clipboard.
Photo Metadata Cleaner — strip EXIF and GPS
LivePhotos quietly carry GPS coordinates, camera serial numbers and timestamps. See exactly what's hidden inside yours, then download clean copies — stripped without re-compressing the picture.
PDF Redactor — it actually removes the words
LiveA black box drawn in a PDF editor hides text from your eyes, not from the file — anyone can select and copy it back out. Mark what should go here and it stops existing. Search the saved file and it simply isn't there.
Two versions side by side, with every change marked. Contracts, drafts, config files — without pasting them into someone else's server.
The craft
Free to use. Every tool on the bench works with no account, no ads and no trackers.
Private. Everything runs in your browser. Files never get uploaded.
Cared for. The alternative to tossed-together, ad-riddled junk.
Built by hand. One person, one tool at a time, on the bench.
