About Toolve

Toolve is seven small browser tools for narrow, professional jobs — built and maintained by one person, funded by advertising, and built so that nothing you open is uploaded — the page has no server to send it to, and the advertising scripts on it never see your files.

What this is

Each tool does one job on one page:

• a split sleeper berth calculation, and a flight duty period;
• a load file conversion, and a PDF/A e-filing check;
• an EICR certificate, and a caregiver binder;
• a switch and keycap compatibility database.

There is no account system, no dashboard, no subscription. The file you pick is read by your browser, processed there, and written back to your disk.

The trade-off is deliberate: tools that run in a tab are cheap to keep alive, so they can stay free, and there is no server holding anyone's documents — which is also why a few of them work offline after the first load.

Who builds it

An independent developer, working with electricians, drivers, crew schedulers, litigation support staff and family caregivers to get the fields, the rules and the edge cases right. Where a tool touches a regulation or a standard, the page names the edition it implements and the sources behind it, and says plainly what it does not cover.

How it is funded

Advertising on the pages that can carry it. That is the whole model: no paid tiers, no per-certificate fees, no upsell behind a link. A paid placement on a compliance page would make the whole site worth less than the fee, which is why the list under What we will not do is as short and as firm as it is.

Working together

There are three things that are genuinely useful to both sides, and they are all engineering work rather than marketing:

• A commissioned tool. You have a narrow, repetitive, rule-bound task your team does in a spreadsheet or a PDF form. It can be built the same way these were: one page, client-side, no upload, with your fields and your rule set. You get the tool; we keep the approach.
• An embed or a link from your own product. If one of these tools is exactly the step your users need (an EICR, a DAT conversion, a PDF/A check), point at it or embed it rather than rebuilding it. Ask first so the page does not change under you.
• Reference data and corrections. If you maintain a table we rely on — colour standards, switch data, regulation editions — telling us about a change or a better source is worth more than a link swap. Corrections are applied with the source recorded.

What we will not do

• No accounts, no multi-tenant SaaS, no server that receives your files.
• No paid links, sponsored posts or paid placements.
• No legal, medical, tax or compliance advice, and no certifying a document: the tools compute and format, the judgement stays with you and your professional.
• No scraping other sites' data into a page and calling it a database.
