Omni Tools
The ad-riddled "free online tools" sites people paste sensitive text into and upload
confidential PDFs to - OmniTools replaces that whole ecosystem with one self-hosted app. It
bundles 50+ utilities behind one clean React/TypeScript interface: image tools (resize,
convert, crop, edit), video and audio tools (trim, reverse, convert), PDF tools (split, merge,
edit), text and list utilities (case converters, formatters, shufflers), plus date/time, math,
and data-format helpers for JSON, CSV, and XML. The architectural decision that makes it
trustworthy is that all file processing happens entirely client-side in the browser - the
server only serves static assets, and nothing you process ever leaves your device. That design
has a pleasant side effect: the host needs almost no resources (people run it on a Raspberry
Pi Zero), because your browser does the work while the server just delivers files. The Docker
image is a remarkable 28 MB, making it one of the fastest apps to deploy and cheapest to keep
running. There are no ads, no tracking, no accounts, and no upload limits. With multi-language
support and an MIT license, it works equally well as a personal toolbox or a team-wide
internal utility portal - one URL that replaces a bookmark folder full of questionable
converters. Actively developed with 50 contributors and 9,500+ GitHub stars.
