Tools.

Four things I built because the work needed them. Two are calculators that run in this page and keep nothing; the third is a desktop application that keeps your files on your own machine; the fourth is an internal tool for reviewing customer contracts, used with your own ChatGPT or Claude account. All of them are free, and none of them ask for an account on this site.
