Offline HTML Tools You Own Forever

A Swiss Knife forged in the exact shape of your life.

Answer seven short questions and the Forge drafts a knife from your life; you sharpen it by hand and take it home as a single HTML file that opens in 2040 because browsers do not forget HTML. Start with a free Taster — no checkout, no e-mail — and come back for the blades that did not fit. One purchase, no account, no subscription, no phone-home; a file you can email to yourself, drop on a USB stick, or quietly archive for the decade after the company that made it has gone.

Inner Life

Meanwhile, in Transitional.Life

Leaving Your Religion

When faith becomes past tense.

A new companion volume meets readers in the long hallway between belief and whatever follows. No prescriptions; only words for the room — for the silence after grace, the empty chair at the table, the calendar that no longer keeps holy days. A small book to carry through the season when the old language has gone quiet and the new one has not yet arrived.

A Private Desktop Think Tank

The Mind's Sandbox and Studio — nothing ever leaves your machine.

Seven lenses — economic, political, social, cultural, technological, environmental, ethical — turn each idea slowly in their hands, showing what one perspective alone never could.

A Private Journal That Becomes a Memoir

A 200 KB HTML file, encrypted with the user's passphrase, married to local AI for chapter-by-chapter generation.

Five tiers of weighted significance, voice-from-the-lantern audio, a sealing ritual with a wax stamp. The words never leave the machine; the memoir reaches the people who matter. One file, $29, yours forever.

Your Files. Not Their Business.

A single HTML file that encrypts one folder on your computer.

It runs locally, in the browser you already have. No account, no server, no telemetry — nothing to sign up for and nothing phoning home. One file, €49, yours to keep.
