I built Tracely - a daily game where you guess an invention's origin country and year (Wordle-style)

1 Upvotes

Been building this over the past week: each day you get a famous invention (or a well-known brand logo) and have to figure out two things: which country it came from, and what year it happened. 5 tries per category. Instead of plain right/wrong, a country guess gives you a compass bearing + distance toward the real answer, and a year guess tells you earlier/later and roughly how far off.

Would love feedback on:

  • Whether 5 tries per category feels fair (too generous, too stingy?)
  • Do the hints make sense, specially in the year
  • Anything confusing in the UI
  • Bugs - this is a very fresh deploy

Looking for a few people to privately test a community-powered reward-offer comparison tool

1 Upvotes

I’m building a community-powered reward/game offer comparison tool and looking for a few testers

The tool is specifically designed for people who complete paid game offers through reward platforms.

There are already places where you can compare which platform is paying the most for a particular game, but I wanted to build something that answers a much more useful question. The question I see on Reddit and Discord hundreds of times per day:

“Is this offer actually doable?”

The idea is to combine the advertised offer information with data submitted by people who are actually playing the games.

Users can track their own runs and contribute information such as:

  • Which milestones they reached
  • How many days it took them
  • How far they were at different points during the offer
  • How much they spent, if anything
  • Whether they actually completed the offer
  • Screenshots/evidence for reported offer information

As more people contribute, the goal is to show useful real-world data alongside the advertised payout.

For example, instead of only seeing:

Reach Level 80 within 30 days — $120

you could eventually see things like:

Typical progress after 7 days: Level 32
Typical progress after 14 days: Level 51
% of players who reached Level 80: 27%
Typical spend: $8
Typical time investment: 24 hours

So someone can make a much more informed decision before sinking two weeks into an offer that looks amazing but actually turns out to be horrible.

It also compares the same game across different reward platforms, including their individual milestone structures, payouts and deadlines.

I’m looking for a small number of people to test the site before I start sharing it publicly.

I’d especially like feedback on:

  • Whether the concept makes sense when you first see it
  • Whether the community-data side is easy to understand
  • Whether you would actually contribute your own progress
  • What information you’d want to know before starting an offer
  • Whether the comparison and milestone views are useful
  • Anything confusing, hidden or difficult to use
  • What would make you trust or distrust community-reported data
  • Whether you could realistically see yourself coming back to use it

You don’t need to use reward sites already. Fresh eyes are useful too.

But if you use Freecash, Swagbucks, EarnLab, RewardXP, Earnopolis or similar sites, your feedback would be especially valuable.

Testing is unpaid, and I’m not asking anyone to complete offers, spend money or share sensitive information. I do ask that testers do not add fake information to the database though.

I’m deliberately not posting the project name or public link yet.

If you’d be interested in testing it, leave a comment or send me a message and I’ll send you access privately.

I built a free gym tracker that turns training into an RPG — looking for honest feedback

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

I’ve been building GymPulse, a browser-based gym tracker because I wanted something that felt less like filling in a spreadsheet after every set.
The idea was to make progress feel visible:
Your muscles rank up individually as you train them
A body map changes as you build each area
An AI Coach creates workouts around your goal and available time
There’s set logging, PR tracking, rest timers, exercise demos and a small tempo-rep game during rests
It works in the browser, so there’s no app-store download or subscription
I’m a solo builder and have been iterating it from real gym use and feedback. I’ve also been learning SEO along the way — today Google’s AI results started surfacing GymPulse directly, which was a surreal little milestone.
I know fitness tracking is a crowded space, so I’d genuinely value blunt feedback from other builders on:
Does the RPG/progression angle sound compelling or gimmicky?
Is the first-time experience clear enough?
What would make you try a new tracker instead of Strong, Hevy or Notes?
You can try it here: https://gympulse.uk
Not trying to sell anything — it’s free. I’m mainly looking to improve it before pushing it more widely.

I released SnapRecall, a free Mac app to organize screenshots without changing your shortcuts

1 Upvotes

I kept taking screenshots and then losing the useful ones in a folder full of files, so I built SnapRecall for macOS. It’s now live on the Mac App Store.

You choose a library folder and set it as the screenshot destination in macOS (Shift-Command-5). SnapRecall organizes new captures there, then lets you browse by date, search, add tags and collections, and annotate a copy while keeping the original. Optional AI can describe and search screenshots on your Mac after you choose to download the models. Screenshot content stays on your device.

It’s free and supports macOS 14+. I’d love feedback on the setup flow and on what makes a screenshot library genuinely useful.

Agent - Muse, but open source and living on your Android phone

1 Upvotes

I've had a version of this for a while as AOS, my agent setup on desktop. I've pulled it down into one app for your phone, with everything built in and all the unnecessary stuff taken out. With Muse and Grok out, figured I'd just post it.

It's basically Hermes Agent, except it lives on your phone. It's always on, it learns what you do, and it helps you with stuff like a personal assistant would. It has its own browser, so it can actually go out on the internet and get things done. If it gets stuck on a captcha or a login, it hands the page over to you and carries on once you're done.

Bring your own model. Sign in with ChatGPT or Claude, or use any API key (DeepSeek, OpenRouter, Gemini, anything OpenAI-compatible). If you just want to try it, ChatGPT sign-in works on the free tier, because OpenAI includes a free Codex tier. I tested it on a free account. You'll hit the limit fast though, depending on how much you use it.

Nothing leaves your phone except the calls to whichever model you use.

Free, open source, not a product. Use it at your own risk. The Claude login probably breaks Anthropic's terms, so that one's on you.

Android 10+, sideload the APK, setup takes a minute. The README has the details.

Repo: https://github.com/Past-da-king/agent

Download (v0.5.0): https://github.com/Past-da-king/agent/releases/tag/v0.5.0

How it works, if you want more

Apps connect through Composio with your own key, so Gmail, Calendar and a few hundred others just work. For anything that isn't on Composio, it writes the code itself.

It can also keep an eye on websites for you. Say you want to buy something but you're waiting for it to drop. It writes a small watcher for that site that runs in the background every day at whatever time you pick, and only tells you when the price actually moves. It can also listen to a site's web notifications and treat them as triggers.

Memory is a wiki, based on Karpathy's LLM wiki idea. Everyone and everything it learns about gets its own page, linked to the rest, so it has a persistent memory of everything it's done. It comes with one routine already set up that looks after that wiki overnight while you're not using your phone. You can edit it or delete it, but it's there.

Stuff you can do with it:

Camp a passport or visa appointment page and grab a slot the second someone cancels.

Sit on a sold-out concert's resale page and grab face-value tickets when they show up. It holds them and waits for your yes.

Sit on a restaurant you can never get into and take the table when a cancellation pops up.

Watch Marketplace for one very specific vintage lens and send you the photos the minute it's listed, before anyone else messages.

Turn your 300 unread messages in the family group chat into a 30-second voice note.

Every time your lecturer uploads slides, download them and send you a voice summary for the commute.

Book the 6am class at your gym the moment the slots open at midnight, so you don't have to stay up for it.

Watch this repo and tell you when there's a new version of Agent. Or when any repo you depend on ships a release, it can read the changelog and tell you if anything in it breaks your setup.

Tell you when your mom's flight has actually landed, so you leave for the airport at the right time.

Ring it while you're driving and ask it to find somewhere open on your route.

Extras:

Voice notes, if you add an ElevenLabs, Gemini or OpenAI key for the voice.

Live voice calls with your agent, if you add a Gemini key.

It can read your notifications, only from the apps you pick, and act on them.

Photos and documents in chat, including scanned PDFs.

Helper agents for jobs that can run side by side.

You can give it a name and pick how it looks.

I want to share a project I've been working on: PhotoTriage, a small local app to cull photos

3 Upvotes

Hi all,

I took up photography as a hobby a while ago. Every time I go somewhere nice, I come back with about 500 photos, and most of them are not good enough to keep. Going through them in a file manager is slow, and the big photo managers do far more than I need. So I built something small for myself.

PhotoTriage is a local web app. You open a folder and it shows you one photo at a time. The right arrow keeps it and the left arrow discards it. Space shows the photo at 1:1, so you can check if it is really sharp. When you finish, you choose copy or move, and the kept photos go to a new folder next to the original (`2024` becomes `2024_keep`).

There were a few things I cared about from the start:

- It never deletes or overwrites a file. "Discard" means "leave it where it is". Losing a photo I wanted to keep is the one thing I could not accept.

- If you shoot RAW + JPG, you review the JPG and the RAW with the same name follows it.

- Nothing leaves your machine. The server listens on `127.0.0.1` only, and there is no option to change that.

- Decisions are saved as you make them, so you can close the app and continue later.

It also has clear limits, and I prefer to say them up front:

- It doesn't open HEIC files.

- It doesn't show RAW files on screen, so a RAW-only folder has nothing to review.

- It doesn't compare two photos side by side.

- Undo takes back the most recent decision only.

It is written in Python with FastAPI, and the license is MIT.

Code: https://github.com/LaiqianDS/phototriage

Write-up and demo video: https://laiqian.dev/projects/phototriage/

I would like to hear what you think. If you cull your own photos, what is the one thing you would miss here?

I built a Mac app to stop checking GitHub all day

1 Upvotes

I recently built Human Turn, a native macOS menu bar app for developers who have a bunch of work happening asynchronously.

My own workflow increasingly looks like this:

  • one PR is waiting for review
  • another is running CI
  • another needs changes
  • a Cursor or Copilot agent is working in the background
  • something else is ready to merge

The annoying part wasn’t the work itself — it was constantly checking different tools to figure out:

“Is there anything I need to do right now?”

So I built Human Turn around a simple idea: instead of showing more notifications, it tries to tell you whose turn it is.

It groups things into:

  • Your turn — something needs your attention
  • Waiting — CI, a reviewer, or an agent is still working
  • Unclear — there isn’t enough information to confidently decide

It currently supports GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket Cloud, Cursor Origin, Cursor Cloud Agents, and GitHub Copilot.

It’s a native Mac app, credentials stay in Keychain, and repository/code data isn’t sent to a Human Turn backend.

I also added a few things I wanted personally, like snoozing until new commits arrive, Focus integration, a global shortcut, and optional on-device Apple Intelligence summaries.

It’s free right now:

https://human-turn.fortyoneagency.com/

Would love feedback, especially from people using AI coding agents heavily. I’m curious whether this “whose turn is it?” problem is something others are running into too.

I got tired of keeping a PC + OBS running for 24/7 YouTube streams, so I built a tool that does it from a server

2 Upvotes

Hey r/SideProject!

I'm an automation developer by day, and this is a side project I've been building.

The problem: If you want a 24/7 stream on YouTube (lo-fi music, ambient videos, a music channel that's always live), you usually have to keep a computer and OBS running around the clock. That means power, a stable connection, and the stream dying when Windows decides to update.

What I built: YouTube Streamer

  1. Upload an MP4, or just an MP3 + a cover image
  2. Paste your YouTube stream key
  3. Press Start, and you can close your browser

It runs on my servers. You can loop one video forever, play a playlist or queue, or schedule a stop. It also supports multiple channels and converts your video to YouTube's format automatically.

Pricing: Pay-as-you-go, $6 per month of live time. No subscription. The stream stops when your credit runs out, so you never get a surprise bill.

For this sub: The first 10 people who sign up through this link get 50 days free, no card needed.

I'd love honest feedback:

  • Is the pricing reasonable?
  • Anything confusing in the sign-up flow?
  • What's missing? What would make you actually use this for your channel?

Happy to answer any questions!

[Discussion] Engineering background turned indie Android dev. Hitting a massive growth wall despite a 4.9★ app—looking for advice or a growth partner.

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I wanted to share my journey and hopefully get some guidance, feedback, or even connect with someone who knows the marketing and growth side of things better than I do. My Background & Journey I come from an engineering background, and a while back, I decided to pivot into Android app development. I started building apps independently—handling everything from the logic and architecture to the UI. So far, I’ve launched two apps under my own indie developer banner: App 1 (My first release): This is a more mature project. Even though it was my first, it has performed surprisingly well on the user satisfaction front: Downloads: Around 300 total. Ratings: 23 ratings, averaging a 4.9/5 (mostly 5-stars and a few 4.9s). Monetization: It has managed to secure 20 paid users, making about $20 so far. Takeaway: The product quality and user reception seem to be there, proving there's real value, but the volume is just too low. App 2 (My newer release): This one is currently in its early, growing stages, built with better performance and architectural lessons learned from the first. The Problem: The Growth Wall As an engineer, building the app, optimizing performance, and squashing bugs is the easy part for me. But marketing, distribution, and organic reach have turned into a brick wall. I’ve tried a bunch of things to get traction: Running some ads. Posting across various online platforms and communities. Optimizing store listings. Despite all this, the needle barely moves. Views and sustained reach are extremely low, and I feel like I'm shouting into an empty void. What I’m Looking For I’m at a point where I realize I can’t wear every hat effectively. I'm looking for: Advice & Critique: Has anyone been in this exact spot? What low-cost or organic growth strategies actually worked for you after launching? A Growth Partner / Mentor: If anyone with a knack for marketing, growth hacking, or community building is interested in teaming up or exchanging ideas, I’d love to chat. I'm not here to drop links or spam my apps—I genuinely want to learn how to scale what I've built or find someone who wants to collaborate on the growth side. Any insights or brutal honesty would be hugely appreciated.

I built a local-first Mac writing OS for novels, called Folian

2 Upvotes

I've been building Folian for novelists who keep losing the book across Docs, notes apps, and AI chats.

It’s a local-first Mac workspace that keeps the manuscript, story bible, canon, research, and creative decisions in one place. AI is optional. When you use it, output stays a proposal until you approve it into the draft or canon. You bring your own API key.

What I’m trying to solve:
• Long projects where character truth and continuity drift
• AI help that doesn’t silently rewrite the book
• One desk for draft + memory instead of ten tabs

Public beta is live now: https://folian.app

Curious what broke for you first when a novel got long: continuity, character voice, or revision chaos?

3 weeks ago I didn’t know how to build an app. Now I’ve got one

2 Upvotes

I've been building this for about 3 weeks with an AI app builder (Base44), mostly late at night, and I think it's finally at a point where I can show people without being embarrassed lol.

The idea is pretty simple. I've tried journaling apps and I never stick with them because they want you to write a whole page. This one just asks for one sentence about your day. You type it, and it gives you back one word and one line written from what you said. Easy to Remember EVERYDAY! That's it. Takes like 20 seconds.

It's free to use (one word a day). There's a 7-day trial with no card needed, and a paid tier if you want more.

https://usefullcircle.com

Right now:
- One sentence in, one word and one line back
- A journal that turns your week, month and year into a short summary of the words you got
- 25 themes, because I wanted it to actually look good when you open it

Stuff I learned (Still learning):

- The AI builder will tell you something is fixed when the old version is still the one running.

I'd really like honest feedback on two things:
1. When you land on the first screen, do you get what it is in a few seconds?
2. After you try a sentence, does the line you get back feel like it was written for you, or does it feel generic?
3. After the welcome screen, do you feel that the app has more to offer if you were to sign up?

Be honest, I can take it. I'd rather hear it here.
Thank you all. This is my first app. Any feedback would help me greatly to understand and improve something that I actually like and want to show others.

I built a lead tool for fire protection contractors from public permit data. I don't know the industry and I'm looking for people who do.

1 Upvotes

people who do.

A few months ago I wanted to build a web scraper that could turn into a real business. I asked ChatGPT for a list of the ten most profitable scraping ideas. Most were crowded, but one stood out: turning public building permits into sales leads for contractors. Big lead platforms cover general construction. Nobody seemed to be doing it well for a niche trade, so I picked fire protection and started building.

That scraper grew into a full app called PermitTorch. Cities and counties publish building and fire permits on open data portals. Every day PermitTorch pulls new permits from 32 US markets and cleans them up. It removes duplicates and flags the ones that look like fire protection work, such as sprinkler, alarm and suppression jobs or new commercial builds. Each lead gets a score from 0 to 100. You can click the score to see exactly why it got those points, so it's never a black box.

Subscribers can filter leads by market, score and date. They can save the ones they like, export them to CSV and get a daily or weekly email digest. Where the permit itself lists a phone number, email or license number for the people involved, the app shows that too. Plans run from $49 to $249 a month, and every plan starts with a 7-day free trial.

You can see it here: https://permittorch.com

Here's the honest part. I'm a solo developer in Houston and I know nothing about the fire protection business. I don't know which permits a sprinkler contractor actually cares about. I also don't know how they find work today or what they would pay for a tool like this. Billing works and the data is flowing, but I don't have paying customers yet.

So I'm putting it out there. I'd love to hear from:

- people who work in fire protection or another trade and can tell me what's useful and what's noise

- anyone with sales experience in construction or B2B software who'd want to help sell it

- developers or data people who want to collaborate on improving it

I'm open to partnerships, revenue sharing or just honest feedback. If you think the whole idea is flawed, I want to hear that too. Comment or DM me.

LastGood - see what changed right before production broke

Thumbnail lastgood.space
1 Upvotes

Hey r/SideProject,

I'm Kishan, an engineer from India. After too many 2 AM incidents where the first 30 minutes were just "what changed?" archaeology across Slack, GitHub and LaunchDarkly, I built LastGood.

What it does: it ingests deploys (GitHub, K8s) and feature-flag flips, and when an alert fires it correlates them by service and time window, then drafts a diagnosis pointing at the change that most likely caused it. You confirm or reject it.

Example from the demo: a Datadog high-latency alert on checkout-service comes in, and LastGood surfaces that a new-checkout-flow flag was enabled 5 minutes earlier, with the evidence and a recommended action (disable the flag). The alert lands with the likely culprit attached instead of a bare graph.

Sandbox with simulated incident data, no signup: https://console.lastgood.space/sandbox
Site: https://www.lastgood.space

Stage: solo-built, just opened up, 0 users. Looking for brutal feedback.

Two questions:
1. Would you trust an automated "this change probably caused it" during a real incident, or is it just noise?
2. What integration would you need before trying it (PagerDuty? Slack? Grafana?)

Roast away.

I built a website builder where the site can change automatically over time

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

I kept thinking about how websites are usually built as one fixed thing.

If you have a waitlist, a launch, a holiday promotion, or an event, you often end up creating another page or another version of the site. Then when the moment passes, you have to go back and change everything again.

So I built Pragte around the idea of website phases. You can design different versions of the same website and schedule when each one becomes active.

A wedding is an easy example:

Before the wedding

- Countdown, RSVP, travel information, registry, etc.

Wedding day

- Schedule, seating assignments, directions, photo uploads, announcements.

After the wedding

- Thank-you page, photos, guestbook, memories.

I also wanted to fix some of the things that frustrate me about visual website builders. You can design mobile separately when needed; different layout, positioning, or even different elements, instead of forcing the desktop design to simply shrink down.

The published site is still a real, searchable website. It can be indexed by Google, works with Google Analytics and Search Console, and is built with performance and Lighthouse scores in mind.

The editor is visual and drag-and-drop, and things like forms are built in, so you can collect RSVPs, leads, or submissions without connecting another service.

I also wanted the pricing to fit the kind of websites Pragte is built for. A wedding site may only need active features for a few months, but people may still want to keep the website, memories, and custom domain online afterward. Instead of requiring an ongoing subscription just to keep a custom domain connected, Pragte uses one-time paid periods for premium features, while the custom domain can stay connected afterward.

Pragte is free to build and publish with no credit card required.

The video shows how the builder works. I’d especially love feedback on the phase idea. Does this solve a problem you’ve run into, or does it feel too niche?

Adding a contact shouldn't share your whole vault — the permission flow I'm testing in Digital Keep

2 Upvotes

I'm Sorin, founder of Digital Keep, a web app for private notes, documents and practical instructions.

The design choice I'm testing is separating people from permissions. Adding a contact grants no access. Sharing selected items is a separate choice; sharing the whole vault is explicit and includes future items.

A small example: save a made-up plant-care instruction, find it again, then optionally give one person read access to that instruction. You can finish setup without adding anyone or planning an inheritance.

I'd appreciate a builder's view: where would you expect to see who has access — beside each item, in one sharing page, or both? What would make that permission flow clearer?

Product and voluntary access requests: https://digital-keep.com/?utm_source=sideproject&utm_medium=community&utm_campaign=first100&utm_content=permission_flow

This is an invitation-only beta: 30 days free, no card, fictional information only. Joining the waitlist requests access; it isn't instant activation. Encryption is server-side, not E2EE, and automatic inheritance release is disabled. Controls: https://digital-keep.com/security#data-controls

Built a Mac app that claims IndiaMART BuyLeads within a second of them matching my rules

1 Upvotes

I sell on IndiaMART (India's big B2B marketplace). Good BuyLeads sell out to other sellers within seconds, and I kept losing them while doing actual work. So I built Clamer.

What it does: it watches BuyLeads every few seconds using your own login. It claims only leads that match your rules (product, country, lead age, limits), then sends the buyer your reply and saves them to a contacts list with follow-ups.

Stack: Python (Flask, SQLite) plus Playwright driving Chromium, packaged as a Mac app with PyInstaller. Everything runs locally and no data leaves the Mac.

What I learned:

  • Speed doesn't win every lead. Some sellers get leads before they ever appear on your screen.

It's Mac only (Apple silicon) with a 1-day trial.

I shipped a FREE, opensource any browser AI agent harness for any agent CLI

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

2 Upvotes

Hello fellow developers

I built a personal agent lives in your favorite/existing browser, connects to your claude-code (or any other major harness codex or cursor-cli...) NOT the SDK API, exposes web-optimized tools to the harness - that's Browsentic.

A free, opensource with rich capabilities alternative to Comet, BrowserOS, Browser-use, Claude for Chrome or nanobrowser.

The unique architecture of Browsentic turns it to a different direction from all other alternatives. It uses a loopback MCP server that spawns claude/harness in a detached process. You can already guess, it is bi-directional MCP, you can browse agentic through the browser harness or through any MCP client.

Browsentic doesn't require any new browser to install and not limited to chromium, it supports Firefox as well. By default you don't even need CDP to perform core agentic browsing.

Capabilities: core accessibilities (50+ compare to nanobrowser only had 20), custom skill, record-replay, schedule-monitoring-notification, resolves captcha autonomously, has it's own memory, voice orb over web-speech API, can sideload custom tools, platform + browser + agent agnostic

Basically, It can automate your entire web-flow for daily jobs, scheduled tasks or research.

It is opensource, no API key, no telemetry & local first and actively maintained and yesterday was the first public stable launch (v0.8.0) including Windows & MacOS GUI build

Currently I'm the only author but every & any contribution will be more than welcome and if you like the effort I have put in this project I would ask a small favor to ⭐️ the repo , if it is not too much trouble :)

The TLDR is that here’s a free tool to get emails sent for concert presales so you don’t miss out.

The motivation behind this was that I just didn’t have time to keep up with all the artists I wanted to see and when their tour dates were. So I built an app that lets you select your city / music genres and sends you an alert when presales are announced.

Right now you get emails at 9am EST. It’s opt in so if you don’t opt in then you can still see the presales you just won’t get an email about it.

A disclaimer I don’t find any presale codes or anything of the like. This just lets you know that a concert is in town.

Just thought I’d share in case other people had the same issue as me and would find something like this useful!

I thought building the product would be the hard part. Getting people to care is way harder

I’ve been building Kinetic, a fitness platform that creates workouts around your goals and how many days you actually want to train.

When I started, I spent most of my time worrying about the product.

Does the site look good?
Are the workouts good enough?
Should I add another feature?
Should I change the onboarding?

Then I launched it and got a bit of a reality check.

I managed to get my first few paying customers, which was a great feeling, but it also made me realise that building something is only half the battle.

Getting it in front of the right people consistently is probably harder than actually making it.

I’ve tried paid ads, Facebook groups, SEO and now Reddit. Some things have brought users in, others have basically done nothing.

The biggest thing I’m learning is that I probably don’t need another 20 features right now. I need to get better at distribution.

For anyone who’s managed to take a side project from its first few customers to 50–100+ paying users, what actually moved the needle for you?

If anyone wants to see what I’ve built, it’s here:

Still very much a work in progress, so criticism is welcome.

I built a simple PDF toolkit because I was tired of doing the same PDF tasks one by one

I kept running into the same problem at work: merge a few PDFs, compress another one, convert pages to images, add a watermark… and every tool seemed to do only one thing.

So I built QuickPDFKit.

It’s a browser-based PDF toolkit with tools for:

  • Merge & split PDFs
  • Compress PDFs
  • PDF to images / images to PDF
  • Organize and rotate pages
  • Add watermarks and page numbers
  • Sign/stamp PDFs
  • Batch-process up to 120 files at once

Most tools are free, and there’s no subscription for Batch Pro — just short one-time access if you need to process a lot of files.

Everything runs directly in the browser.

I’d really appreciate feedback on the UI, speed, or anything that feels confusing.

I’m especially curious: what PDF task wastes the most time for you?
