🛠 The Workshop
Small, sharp tools — no ads and no account required. They run right here in your browser, and the few that can save or sync your work keep it end-to-end encrypted, so only you can read it.
The Vault NEW
How strong is your password, really? Most strength meters say P@ssw0rd2026! would take centuries to crack. A real cracker gets it in seconds. This one checks your password the way cracking tools actually guess, shows how long it would last against four kinds of attack, can check it against known breaches without sending the password anywhere, and makes diceware passphrases that are strong and easy to remember.
Lights Out Solver NEW
Stuck on a Lights Out puzzle, or a tile flip or light switch puzzle inside a video game? Tap in the board and it shows exactly which tiles to press, with a step-by-step walkthrough if you want one. It handles any size up to 12×12, odd press patterns, edges that wrap around and tiles with three colors. If a board can’t be solved it tells you, and suggests the closest one that can.
Neenah Weather NEW
The forecast for home, straight from the National Weather Service with nothing sitting in between. Current conditions off the Appleton station, including the barometric pressure most apps hide, an hour-by-hour table running a week out, and the seven-day outlook. The backdrop is Kimberly Point Lighthouse, and it changes with the weather: fog off the lake, thunderheads, a whiteout, hoarfrost on a bitter clear morning, the lamp lit after dark. Add it to your home screen and it opens like an app, and still works when the signal doesn’t.
Film Lab
Give your digital photos the soul of real film. Start from 18 looks inspired by classic stocks — Portra’s warm skin tones, Tri-X grain, Cinestill’s glowing red halation, Velvia’s punch — then make it yours with grain, halation, light leaks, a tone curve and colour mixer, crop-to-social ratios, film borders, captions and a retro date stamp. Like Instagram filters, but built for photographers — and it never uploads a thing: every photo is graded right in your browser on your device’s graphics chip.
The Puppy Predictor
How big will your puppy really get? Skip the old "double their four-month weight" trick — enter breed, age and today's weight and it sets your pup on the real, size-adjusted growth curve for a grown-up size range, a growth chart, and the age they'll likely finish filling out. Soft, honest, and it prints a keepsake.
The Light Table
When does the good light start, and which way will the sun be? Pick any place and date and it maps the whole day’s light — golden hour, blue hour, the twilights, sunrise and sunset times and compass directions, plus the moon’s phase and rise/set and a dark-sky readout for the stargazers. Built for photographers, and every sunrise and moon phase is worked out right in your browser from astronomical math — no account, no API, nothing leaves your device.
The Garden Almanac
When is your last frost, and what can you plant this week? Type your ZIP and it finds your USDA hardiness zone and your average frost dates from the nearest NOAA weather station, then builds a planting calendar for 50+ crops — when to start seeds, transplant, direct-sow and harvest where you live — plus a two-week Frost Watch that flags the nights cold enough to cover tender plants.
Pixwright
A whole photo workbench that never uploads a thing. See everything hidden inside a picture — camera, settings, and the GPS coordinates of exactly where you stood — then strip it out. Plus resize, convert, compress to a target size, crop, rotate, redact faces and license plates, and pull color palettes. Most "online" photo tools send your image to a server first; this one does it all in your browser, so even your edited copies come out metadata-free.
The Dog-Years Translator
How old is your best friend, really? This one skips the lazy ×7 and uses the real, size-adjusted aging curve — small, medium, large and giant dogs age on different slopes — for your dog's true human-equivalent age and life stage. Soft, encouraging, and it prints a cute keepsake certificate.
Raw Feeding Calculator
How much raw should your dog actually eat? Enter weight, age, activity and goal and it does the raw-feeder arithmetic for you — the daily amount and the exact 80/10/10 split (muscle meat, bone, liver, organ), or a BARF mix with veg. It scales to whatever batch you're prepping, with shopping weights, store-bought equivalents, and a quick DIY-vs-commercial cost check.
Jamie's Blue Pencil
A writing editor that holds your draft to your own rules — and your own voice. It marks passive sentences, clichés, weak verbs, repeated words and overlong lines, then measures how far the page has drifted from a statistical fingerprint of how you actually write. No scolding and no account required — your work stays on your device unless you switch on sync, which is end-to-end encrypted.
The Thyroid Journal
A private place to track how your thyroid actually feels, day to day — energy, symptoms, and a few words about how things are going. It quietly turns your own writing into a brain-fog reading over time and charts your energy and symptom trends, so the patterns are easy to spot (and easy to bring to your doctor). Everything stays on your device; turn on sync and your journal is end-to-end encrypted, so only you can ever read it.
Akiva's Walking Forecaster
Is right now a good time to walk the dog? It pulls your local hourly forecast and actually computes the pavement temperature — the seven-second hand-test, as a number — alongside heat, wind chill, air quality and rain, tuned to your dog's breed. Find today's best walk window before the asphalt burns.
