Small tools I built to solve real problems

I keep running into little problems that a quick tool can fix, so I build one. These are the ones worth sharing: free, no sign-up, and they run entirely in your browser. Nothing to install, nothing to hand over.

How far into the year are we?

For some reason, I am always asking myself how many days have already gone by this year. Then I have to stop and do the math, or ask an AI and hope it counts right.

So I built this. It reads today’s date and shows exactly where the year stands, in days, weeks, and months, refreshed live every time the page loads. No button to press, no math to do.

Four more I reach for

All four are free, run entirely in your browser, and cut straight to the one number you actually need.

Which SD Card Do I Need?

Three plain questions about your dash cam, camera or Switch 2, and it names one or two cards that fit, chosen only from ones we have actually filled, read back and timed. It also settles the question nobody answers with a number, which is how much write speed a dash cam really needs.

Dash Cam SD Card Picker

The same corpus with nothing hidden. Name a camera we have recorded with, or type its bitrate, and every card is laid out against it: measured write floor, verified capacity, endurance and the arithmetic in between. This is the one to open when you want the working, not the answer.

Dash Cam Storage Calculator

Storage is not free, and dash cams eat through it fast. Punch in your card size, resolution, and bitrate to see exactly how many hours of footage you get before it loops, so you buy the right card once instead of guessing.

Golden Hour Wake-up Time

Sunrise photography lives and dies by timing: a few minutes is the gap between a stunning sky and a flat gray one. Tell it how long you take to get ready and how long to reach your spot, and it works backward from the real sunrise to the one time that matters: when to set the alarm.

Not a tool, but a trick I use constantly: how to save images out of Google Sheets in one easy step.

Got a problem a tool could solve?

Every one of these started as a small annoyance in my own week. If you keep hitting a task that a quick calculator or widget could take off your plate, tell me about it. It might be the next one I build.
