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. Three of them sell nothing at all; the other three — What's This Letter, Revive and EXHIBIT B — give you a free first go and then take one payment, because reading a letter, restoring a photograph or sealing a signed receipt properly costs us real money. They run in your browser or on our machines, 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 ads.

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.

04Letters

What's This Letter

The official letter, explained.

A brown envelope from a tax office, a court or a debt collector, in a language you half read. What's This Letter reads it twice, tells you what it is, who sent it and by when you must act, and quotes the passages that matter — translated, and verified against the page.

05Photos

Revive

Old photos, back.

A box of scans and phone photos of prints: creased, faded, torn at the corner. Revive returns them repaired, colourised and sharp, with every face exactly as it was, plus print files at 300 dpi and a before-and-after card for the family chat. The first photo comes back as a free preview before you pay anything.

06Reports

EXHIBIT B

The appendix that proves you checked.

A report drafted with a model's help is going out under your name. EXHIBIT B fetches every source it cites again, hashes the bytes, records the time and seals the result into a signed, hash-chained receipt — dated before your signature, verifiable offline by anyone, and containing none of your client's text. Checking that a source exists is free without limit; the sealed receipt is $9.

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?
Three of the six are, with no account, no trial, no card, no usage limit and no ads. Two do all their work inside your browser, so serving them costs us almost nothing; Redline runs on our machines and we pay for it because it earns us more attention than an ad would. What's This Letter, Revive and EXHIBIT B are the exceptions: the reference pages and your first read, the free preview of your first photo, or checking that every source in a report exists, cost nothing; after that a letter pass is $5, a photo pack starts at $9 and a sealed receipt is $9 a report, one payment each, because every render and every signed record costs us real money.
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, What's This Letter, Revive and EXHIBIT B have to work on what you upload on a server. Redline keeps your report behind its own link; What's This Letter discards the letter the moment your answer exists — it is never stored and never used for training; Revive keeps your photos for up to 30 days after purchase to make the pack and its redos, then deletes them — sooner if you ask — and never uses them for training; EXHIBIT B discards the report itself seconds after upload and seals only hashes, counts and times — never the text. Either way, treat them 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 and What's This Letter an explanation of an official letter — neither is legal or tax advice, so treat their 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.
