About PlainTools

Useful. And that’s enough.

Small, focused utilities for the everyday tasks that deserve a simpler way.

A little less friction

Capture a page. Pick a colour. Find a tab. These are small jobs, but they add up. PlainTools makes focused utilities to help you get them done and get back to what matters.

Browser extensions are the starting point: twelve tools across Capture, Developer, Productivity, and Page tools. Each has a clear purpose and a deliberately limited scope.

Simple by intention

Free to use

No required account stands between you and a useful little tool.

Local-first

Processing and storage happen locally. There is no tracking. Each tool’s access and network behaviour should be explained, not hidden behind a blanket promise.

Lightweight and focused

A tool should do its job clearly. Tabs Mini, for example, helps find and close duplicates; it is not a session manager or a tab suspender.

Starting in your browser

All twelve browser tools are in beta, and store listings are not yet available. Web and Garmin tools are planned, not available products.
