TOOLS BY MOMENT

Choose by the moment,
not by the product name.

Choose a tool for the moment you want to check: pasting into AI, attaching a file, sending a late-night email or opening a link.

01 · BEFORE SEND

I almost sent it without checking the recipient or the body.

When it finds things like email addresses or phone numbers, it shows a confirmation just before sending. It does not rewrite your text.

Safe Privacy Gate
02 · AI CHAT

I nearly pasted an internal email straight into an AI chat.

It replaces things like email addresses and API keys inside the input field. An optional confirmation stops a send when masking occurs.

Safe Privacy Mask
03 · ATTACHMENT

I attached a photo without realising it included the location.

When you attach a file, it shows things like a photo's location and a document's author details. It does not stop the upload.

Safe Attachment Check
04 · 01:17 AM

1 a.m. I was about to send it on impulse.

Choose whether to return to your draft, schedule the email or send it now.

Safe Night Check
05 · INBOX

An invoice notice. I had not looked at where the link went.

Just before it opens, it shows the link text and the actual URL side by side. It does not declare anything dangerous.

Safe Mail Link Check
06 · A DATE

“1995” in an article. How old was I then?

Select a date on the page and it shows the ages at that time, the weekday, the Japanese era year, and how long ago it was.

Find My Age
07 · WHILE READING

I kept going back and forth between pages, copying quotes one at a time.

Collect passages with the right-click menu, reorder and tidy them up, then copy the lot in one go.

Copy & Prep
08 · BEFORE YOU TYPE

About to enter an address and a card number. Who actually runs this shop?

Press the icon and it shows what the page states about its operator, with the evidence.

Site Operator Check
09 · NOTICE

An email says my personal information was leaked.

Check the notice without following its email links, then find out what to do for the information affected.

AI × EXTENSION

Small improvements,
built with AI.

A Chrome extension can add a small feature without changing the web systems you already run. And AI now makes software this small easier to build than it used to be.

Build it with AI.

Keep the task, screen and data requirements small so you can ask AI to implement one feature at a time.

A person checks it.

Review the code's permissions, network requests and data storage, then test it in a browser before using it.

Use it in Chrome.

The usual browser, the usual screen. Start alone, use it as a team — and in a company, admins decide who gets it.

CONCEPT

“Legacy” — using the word
in its older sense.

In software, “legacy” has come to mean something outdated. Legacy Tools uses the word in its older sense — something handed down.

Trust over trends.

Not tools you keep switching between, but tools you can still rely on ten years from now.

Small, and made with care.

Not one large tool that does everything, but small tools that do one job properly — built one at a time.

What is yours stays yours.

We build tools you can use on your own device, without handing your data to the developer.

NOTES

Building things, getting them wrong,
and writing down what I learned.

Read about store rejections, design decisions and problems found after release. These notes explain how the tools are made, including what went wrong.

VERIFY, NOT TRUST

Not “it is safe,”
but something you can check.

Instead of calling it safe, each product publishes its permissions, its network activity and where it stores things. Being able to check that yourself explains more than any wording could.

TRY IT YOURSELF

You can check the traffic yourself: content scripts running in the page show up in the page's DevTools, and the extension's service worker has its own DevTools, opened from chrome://extensions.
