Autofract

Tools

Small tools, done properly.

The studio builds large systems for clients. These are the small ones we build for ourselves — and then give away, because they cost almost nothing to run.

Every tool here started as an internal annoyance: a contract nobody had time to read, a meeting that kept landing at 22:00 for someone, a recurring cost that never appeared on any invoice. We built the smallest thing that answered the question, then kept it.

None of them ask for an account. None of them sell anything. They are free, they run in your browser or on our machines at our expense, and they are built to the same doctrine as the platforms below: verify before you publish, show your work, never invent a fact you cannot point at.

Free tools

Open one, use it, close the tab. No signup, no trial, no upsell.

01Contracts

Redline

The fine print, decoded.

Redline reads a contract the way a suspicious lawyer would: it looks for the clauses that will cost you later, quotes each one word for word, and explains in plain language what it actually does to you.

02Scheduling

Overlap

The hour that works for everyone.

Overlap lays several people's days on one line so you can see — not calculate — the hours a meeting can actually happen, and who pays for it when none of them are good.

03Calculators

Cost Of

What things actually cost.

A weekly meeting, a forgotten subscription, an interruption, a bad hire, an hour of downtime — Cost Of turns each of them into a single figure on a receipt you can send to the person who decides.

Products

Larger systems the studio designed, built and still operates.

Relocating

Moving countries, minus the guesswork.

Open data turned into 33 client-side calculators, programmatic country corridors and a moderated live community — mirrored into 22 languages by its own translation pipeline.

FrontDesk

The price of record.

A public record of what things actually cost: every price sourced, dated and defended by an adversarial verifier, with a hash-chained history that cannot be quietly rewritten.

Questions people ask

Are these really free?
Yes. No account, no trial, no card, no usage limit, no ads. Two of the three do all their work inside your browser, so serving them costs us almost nothing; the third runs on our machines and we pay for it because it earns us more attention than an ad would.
Do I need to sign up?
No. There is nothing to register for and nothing to install. Every tool opens straight into a working state, and where a tool has state to keep, that state lives in the URL — copy the link and you have saved your work.
What happens to what I put in?
Overlap and Cost Of never send your inputs anywhere: the board and the receipt are encoded in the address bar and computed by your own browser. Redline has to read your document on a server to analyse it, so treat it the way you would treat any online tool and do not paste material you are not allowed to share.
Do you track me?
We count page views with a cookieless, privacy-preserving analytics setup that stores no personal data and follows nobody across sites. That is the whole of it — no advertising pixels, no session replay, no profiles.
Can I use them at work?
Yes, including commercially. Teams use the meeting planner for standups across continents and the calculators to argue a budget. Redline is a first read of a contract, not legal advice, so treat its output as a checklist for your lawyer rather than a substitute for one.
Why does a studio give tools away?
Two honest reasons. They are proving grounds: the adversarial verification in Redline and the build-time data gates in our larger platforms are the same doctrine at different scales. And they introduce the studio to people better than a portfolio page does — you can see how we build before you ever talk to us.
Will they still be here next year?
That is the intent. They are static or near-static by design, which is exactly why they are cheap to keep alive: there is no database to migrate, no subscription to fund, no runtime to babysit. If a tool ever does shut down, its page will say so instead of quietly disappearing.
Can I suggest a tool?
Please do. The best ideas so far have come from someone describing a spreadsheet they rebuild every month. Write to info@autofract.com and tell us what you keep doing by hand.

Need one of these at your scale?

The same studio builds the large version: agents, pipelines and platforms that run themselves. Fixed quote after a 48-hour scoping pass.
