Eight everyday headaches get shorter answers
Version 1.3.0HandyPebble now covers practical date math, time zones, cooking, countdowns, PDFs, QR codes, text changes, and file checks—without turning a quick job into a software project.
PDFs & QR codes
PDF Toolbox organizes pages and builds PDFs from regular images or iPhone HEIC photos. QR Code Studio creates or scans codes without automatically opening mystery links.
Local by default
PDFs, images, text, and files are processed in the browser. The tools do not upload the material you open.
Built to come back to
Useful preferences stay on the device where it saves time. Sensitive content and one-off source files are not turned into accounts or cloud projects.

The next holiday gets a proper countdown
Version 1.2.1The new U.S. Holiday Calendar puts major American dates into a familiar monthly view and keeps the next celebration ticking by the second.
Live countdown
See the next holiday with separate days, hours, minutes, and seconds, plus always-visible Thanksgiving and Christmas countdowns.
Dates with context
Federal holidays, popular observances, and nearby observed federal days are labeled separately instead of being tossed into one vague list.
Calendar-ready
Open any holiday for a plain-English explanation, then download a standard event file for Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, or Outlook.
Remembers your view
The last month, year, and filter stay on the device and update automatically the next time a different view is chosen.

Period planning gets privacy and honest limits
Version 1.2.0The new Period Calculator estimates upcoming cycle dates without asking for an account or saving personal dates.
Quick forecast
Enter a last period, average cycle length, usual period length, and typical variation to see the next six expected cycles.
Calendar view
A three-month calendar marks estimated period days, fertile windows, ovulation dates, and today in one clear view.
Useful takeaway
Make a private planning PNG that keeps the estimate and its safety statement together.
No false promises
The page states clearly that calendar math is not birth control, pregnancy confirmation, diagnosis, or medical advice.

Private details get a paintbrush
Version 1.1.9The new Mosaic & Blur Brush hides faces, plates, addresses, and screenshot details without sending a photo to the cloud.
Two useful effects
Paint strong mosaic pixels or a softer blur, then use Restore to bring original pixels back over a mistake.
Mixed on purpose
Every stroke keeps its own effect, strength, size, and feathering, so one photo can use different treatments in different places.
A practical batch
Edit up to 12 photos, keep separate undo histories, download one result, or package the whole group into a ZIP.
Still local
Opening, painting, previewing, and exporting happen inside the browser. The selected photos never get uploaded.

The car deal gets unpacked before the payment
Version 1.1.8The new U.S. Auto Loan Calculator starts with the amount financed, then shows the monthly payment and total interest without hiding the trade or old-loan payoff.
Nationwide starting point
Choose any state or Washington, D.C. to load a state-level vehicle tax starting point and an editable trade-in tax setting.
Trade math included
Positive trade equity reduces the new loan. Negative equity is called out clearly when an old payoff gets rolled forward.
Term cost made visible
Compare APR and terms from 36 through 84 months, with total interest and a yearly payoff table beside the monthly number.
Clear limits
State and local rules vary, so the page labels its result as a planning estimate—not a dealer worksheet, lender quote, or tax advice.

The house payment gets the whole story
Version 1.1.7The new U.S. Mortgage Calculator estimates more than principal and interest, so the monthly number has fewer expensive surprises hiding behind it.
Whole monthly estimate
Add property taxes, homeowners insurance, HOA dues, and PMI alongside the fixed-rate loan payment.
Down payment, both ways
Enter dollars or percent and the other value stays in sync, with the resulting loan amount always visible.
Long view
An annual amortization schedule shows how much goes to principal, how much goes to interest, and what balance remains.
Honest assumptions
The calculator does not invent a PMI charge or pretend to fetch a live interest rate. Every important assumption stays editable.

The cutout can bring its own background
Version 1.1.6The Freehand Image Cutout can now save a high-quality JPEG when transparency is not what you need.
Two honest choices
Transparent PNG remains the default. Choosing JPEG changes the preview, file name, format, and both download buttons together.
Soft color slider
The JPEG background starts at white and moves through eight restrained macaron colors for quick product shots, cards, and posts.
No mixed-up files
JPEG mode only downloads JPEG. Switch back to Transparent PNG whenever you need the removed area to stay transparent.
Still local
Background compositing and export happen inside the browser. The original image never gets uploaded.

Odd shapes get a clean exit
Version 1.1.5The new Freehand Image Cutout lets you trace the exact part of a picture you want and save it as a transparent PNG.
Draw it yourself
Use a mouse, pen, or finger to draw one closed outline. Nothing tries to guess which subject you meant.
Fix the outline
Add or remove small areas, undo the last correction, and zoom or move the image when an edge needs a closer look.
Softer edges
A simple feather control smooths hand-drawn bumps, while optional auto-trim removes unused transparent space.
Stays local
The image is traced and exported inside the browser. No upload, account, watermark, or saved copy.

A familiar calculator joins the shelf
Version 1.1.4The new Classic Calculator handles everyday arithmetic and percentages without hiding the useful buttons behind a mode switch.
Familiar layout
The number pad, four basic operations, percentage, sign, decimal, clear, and delete controls sit exactly where you expect them.
Keyboard ready
Number keys, operators, Enter, Backspace, and Escape work alongside the large touch-friendly buttons.
Percentage behavior
Use % on its own to divide by 100, or use it with addition and subtraction to calculate a portion of the first number.
No saved tape
The calculation stays in the open page and disappears when the page is refreshed or closed.

The saved tab finally has a face
Version 1.1.3HandyPebble now has a proper little yellow pebble in browser tabs, bookmarks, phone shortcuts, and installed web apps.
Easy to spot
The simple black H stays readable even when the icon is squeezed down to 16 pixels.
Browser ready
Modern SVG and PNG icons sit alongside a multi-size ICO fallback for older browsers and saved bookmarks.
Phone friendly
An Apple touch icon and web app sizes keep home-screen shortcuts from falling back to a random page screenshot.
Everywhere
All public pages now point to the same icon set, so the toolbox keeps one recognizable face from page to page.
