what's in this category
Small, focused utilities for staying on task and coordinating across time zones. No notifications you didn't ask for, no streaks to maintain, no AI suggesting you "optimize your workflow." Just a Pomodoro timer that beeps when the interval is up, a scratchpad that saves what you type, and a meeting planner that respects everyone's working hours.
The Pomodoro Timer runs configurable work/break intervals with audible cues. Plaintext Scratchpad is a persistent textarea that autosaves to your browser — perfect for capturing stray thoughts during a meeting without opening a "real" notes app. Timezone Meeting Planner lays out business-hours overlap across multiple locations, including a polar globe view, so you can find a workable meeting time at a glance.
Pomodoro Timer
A customizable Pomodoro timer with circular countdown display, browser notifications, and audio alerts. Track your focus sessions with built-in history and statistics. Supports work sessions, short breaks, and long breaks.
Open TimerPlaintext Scratchpad
A persistent scratchpad that auto-saves every keystroke to your browser. Open it, jot anything, close the tab — your text is still there when you come back. Word/character counts and one-click download as .txt.
Open ScratchpadTimezone Meeting Planner
Pick a time in your home timezone and instantly see what it looks like everywhere else. Business-hours indicators (green/yellow/red) make it obvious when you've found a workable overlap.
Open Plannerfree & open source PDF tools
Edit, annotate, and organize PDFs with community-built alternatives to Adobe Acrobat. These are external projects: use the official links below to try them, download them, or help improve their source code.
For existing text edits, start with LibreOffice Draw or BentoPDF. For handwritten notes, use Xournal++; for moving pages around, use PDF Arranger. PDFCraft and PdfCraft are two separate projects with similar names.
PdfCraft (ArtCraft)
A native PDF workbench for reading, organizing pages, combining documents, comments, and forms. Still in early development; editing existing text remains limited.
Windows, macOS, Linux · MIT / Apache-2.0
BentoPDF
Edit text, annotate, sign, convert, and organize PDFs in your browser. Document processing runs locally; no signup is required.
Browser · AGPL-3.0; commercial licensing also available
LibreOffice Draw
Open a PDF in Draw to edit existing text and graphics, then export it back to PDF. Best for small corrections; complex layouts and fonts may shift during import.
Windows, macOS, Linux · MPL-2.0
PDF Arranger
Visually merge, split, rotate, crop, and reorder pages on your computer. A focused page organizer rather than an editor for existing text.
Windows, Linux · GPL-3.0
Xournal++
Add handwritten notes, highlights, drawings, and text over PDF pages, then export to PDF. Works well with a pen tablet; it does not rewrite the original PDF text.

our focus tools save locally
Our timer, scratchpad, and meeting planner save locally to your browser — close the tab and your timer, notes, or meeting setup will still be there next visit. No account, no sync to a cloud service that might disappear, no subscription holding your data hostage.
Useful next: System Tools for technical tasks during a focused work block (regex, log parsing, cron). Network Tools when the block is subnet planning or bandwidth math. Financial Tools pairs well with a Pomodoro session focused on budgeting.
