Five free browser tools I built alongside my Android apps (no sign-up, no tracking)

I run a one person Android studio called Dope Capybara. Alongside the apps, I keep building small web tools that solve one problem each and require nothing from the visitor. No account, no email capture, no cookie banner

I run a one person Android studio called Dope Capybara. Alongside the apps, I keep building small web tools that solve one problem each and require nothing from the visitor. No account, no email capture, no cookie banner asking for marketing consent.

Here is what's live right now.

Year Progress

A live bar showing what percentage of the current year has passed, plus a countdown to the next one. Recalculates client side, no API calls.

Why bother with tools that don't monetize directly

Two reasons. First, they're genuinely useful for the five minutes someone needs them, and that's enough of a reason on its own. Second, each one is a small, well scoped project I can ship in a weekend, which keeps me in practice building and shipping instead of only maintaining the existing Android apps.

All five run as static pages, no backend, no database. If you want to see the source approach or have feedback on any of them, I'm in the comments.
