Ten everyday tools · one honest app

The file tools you need,
with privacy up front.

Arolel is a small suite of utilities built in Rails. Most file tools run entirely in your browser. Contract drafts, saved signatures, and document conversions only touch the server when the feature actually needs it.

What is Arolel?

Arolel is an open-source suite of everyday web utilities: a HEIC-to-JPG photo converter, a PDF merger/splitter/rotater/compressor, a contract maker with saved signatures, a site uptime checker with shareable boards, and a bulk URL opener that saves sets of links you can reopen with one click.

Most of these tools run entirely in your browser. Server-backed tools either need to be shareable, like uptime boards, need system conversion software, like DOCX/PDF conversion, or use your server-side OpenAI key for contract drafting. Everything is free, and accounts are optional unless you want saved workspace features.
