A small studio for precise browser tools

Local first

Our tools work in Chrome, on your computer. What you work on with them — tables, snippets, highlights, recordings, PDFs, the pages you read — is not sent to us. For Pro, one thing reaches our license server: your license key, with a random installation id.

Minimal permissions

Each tool asks for the least access it needs, at the moment it needs it. Each product page lists every permission in plain words.

No account

You never create an account with us. Pro works with a license key sent by e-mail.

Honest pricing

A free version that does the core job, and a Pro you buy with a single payment or by the month, with no commitment: no fake discounts and no countdowns.

Nothing measured by default

Usage statistics in our tools stay off unless you turn them on, and never include what you work on. This website sets no cookies and loads nothing from other servers.

From Pro licenses, not from your data.

People who use a tool often can buy its Pro, with a single payment or by the month. That income pays for the work. We don’t sell or share data, show ads or take money to recommend anything.

Each tool takes the color of a technical drawing pen. On those pens the color marks the width of the line, from violet for the finest, 0.13 mm, to grey for the boldest, 2.0 mm.

Two tools, Assay and Cartouche, take the printer’s proofing inks instead, cyan and magenta. An ink has no line width, so they sit after the pens, like the color bar printed in the margin of a proof.

The studio mark stacks the six pens the studio started with, from red to green. It stays at six: at the size of a browser tab, more lines would blur.
