INSERT · OPEN SHELF

Insert a file to begin.

Drop a file and the machine reads the disk, then tells you everything it can do with it. No menu-hunting: the file decides what you are shown.

EVERY DISK THE MACHINE READS, AND WHAT IT CAN DO WITH IT —

Images

JPG, PNG, GIF, WEBP, HEIC/HEIF, BMP, TIFF, SVG and AVIF images

Text files

TXT, MD, JSON, XML, HTML and LOG files

How it works

  1. Drop your file anywhere on the desk — or click the slot and pick one.
  2. The machine reads the disk: what it is, what kind, how big.
  3. It lists every tool that accepts that type. Pick one and it opens, loaded.

Questions, answered honestly

Does my file get uploaded?
No. This tool runs entirely in your browser, on your machine — no server touches this job. (Pro tools, when they arrive, will upload securely, and only when you ask.)
What file types does the machine read?
Images, PDFs, documents, spreadsheets, presentations, audio, video, archives and plain text. It identifies by extension and by content type, and it will say so plainly when it does not recognise something.
Do I need to pick the right tool first?
No — that is the whole point. Insert the file and the machine offers only the tools that actually fit it. Or type what you want into the command line and it finds the tool for you.
What if the tool I need is not built yet?
The machine says so, plainly, instead of pretending. Tools still on the bench are marked as such, and you will not be sent down a dead end.
