Good productivity tools that run 100% in the browser (privacy in mind)

GoodWebTools, a set of privacy-first web tools that run entirely in the browser using WebAssembly, canvas, and on-device machine learning, has been launched at goodwebtools.com. The tools process files client-side so nothing is uploaded, tracked, or stored remotely, covering categories including Dev, PDF, Image, Files, Draw, Media, and Playground.

Privacy-first daily-driver web tools that run entirely in your browser — your files never leave your device.

Live: https://goodwebtools.com · Desktop app: see Releases

Most "online tools" upload your files to a server. GoodWebTools does the work client-side with WebAssembly, canvas, and on-device ML — so nothing is uploaded, tracked, or stored remotely.

Dozens of tools across Dev, PDF, Image, Files, Draw, Media, and Playground categories — JSON/Base64/JWT utilities, image convert/compress/ resize/annotate, background & object removal, PDF↔image, an Excalidraw whiteboard, a DB-diagram (DBML) designer, QR tools, and more. Browse them all at goodwebtools.com.
