How these help

Small tools, honest numbers.

Nothing leaves your browser

Every tool does its sums on your device. What you paste or drop is never uploaded.

No sign-up, no email

Open a tool and use it. There’s no account wall and nothing to unsubscribe from.

The math is on the page

Each tool says how it counts — the pace, the rounding, the guesses — so you can check it.

Minutes, not guilt

Four of the five answer one question — how long is this, really? That’s the idea behind My Minute Mix.

From calculator to habit

The tools tell you how long.
The app finds the time.

Save articles and videos, pick the minutes you have, and get a mix that fits. Free, no paid tier.
