Created mainly for personal use but open to public use, this page serves as the tool directory for simonbrainerd.com. It is meant to collect small, useful web utilities in one place rather than bury them across unrelated pages.
The emphasis here is utility first: clear inputs, clear outputs, direct purpose, and tools that are usable without turning the site into a generic template or gimmick-heavy software landing page.
A practical checker for basic domain and email trust signals, built to help users inspect whether an email identity or sending domain appears routine, suspicious, incomplete, or weakly configured.
A utility for finding pages.
A file utility page for hashing, encryption, and decryption workflows. Useful for verifying file integrity, producing quick hashes, and handling lightweight file-protection tasks in one place.
A browser-side tool for generating an OpenPGP public and private keypair, with downloadable armored outputs and a revocation certificate for offline storage.
A focused inspection page for uploaded files and images that exposes common metadata fields and, where supported by the final implementation, helps remove unnecessary metadata before sharing.
A live demonstration of the routine browser, network, and device metadata exposed during ordinary browsing sessions. Less of a utility and more of an evidence-based reference page.
This exists for personal use mainly but is open to public use.
It also creates a clean place in the navigation for utility-oriented work that would otherwise feel out of place on the homepage.
The page points to tools that solve a concrete problem.
Trust, identity, metadata, and basic digital security are coherent with the rest of the site and do not feel random.
The tools live here so the homepage stays readable while the utility pages remain easy to find from the nav.
Additional tools will be added here over time as standalone pages.
