Your data lives on someone else's server
The Designer's Knife is the answer
Every document you upload, every query you make, every draft you write gets stored on servers you don't control. Cloud tools mine your work for training data, sell usage analytics, and expose you to breaches. Offline tools run entirely in your browser. Your files never leave your machine.
The Designer's Knife is a single-file knife with 9 tools that runs entirely in your browser. The Designer's Knife puts nine essential design utilities plus a live preview Showroom into a single HTML file. Convert between color formats, check WCAG contrast compliance, build harmonious palettes, generate CSS gradients (linear, radial, conic), edit Bézier curves visually, build typographic scales from modular ratios, calculate spacing systems (linear, powers, Fibonacci), paint pixel art on a grid, and preview everything together in the Showroom — a live component gallery that renders your design system as buttons, cards, and typography in real time. All offline, all private, all yours forever.
