Secure Tools Web Utilities
PDF, image, metadata, and privacy utilities for the browser.
A software ecosystem
Local-first tools with clear boundaries.
Secure Tools is a collection of independently maintained, privacy-conscious products and libraries. The project favors local processing where practical, understandable network behavior, and implementations people can inspect.
Principles
How the ecosystem is shaped
- Local-first processing where practical
- Minimal unnecessary data exposure
- Transparent network behavior
- Privacy-aware defaults
- Auditable, open implementation where practical
- Traceable deployment
Exact privacy and network behavior varies by product and must be documented by each project.
Products
Independent applications
Secure Desktop Pet
A desktop companion developed as its own application and release.
Secure Local AI
Exploration of local-first interactions with AI models.
Libraries
Shared building blocks
Reusable library
Secure Metadata

Project
One catalog, independent releases
The Hub provides shared navigation and documentation. Each product and library retains its own repository, lifecycle, and versioning; there is no global Secure Tools ecosystem version.
