What it does

Most PDF sites want an account to merge two pages, then keep the file around. SoHappyPDF is one tool per job: merge, split, compress, convert, protect. No account for basic use. Files belong to your session and expire after about two hours — not a document library. Free is 5 ops/day and 25 MB. Pro is $5/month (OCR and higher limits). Same pipeline is on a public API.

Free online PDF tools to merge, split, compress, convert, OCR, and protect files. Open a tool, drop a file, and download the result. No account needed for basic use. Files expire after two hours.

Open a tool, drop a file, and download the result. Basic use does not need an account. Files stay private to your session and expire after about two hours. Upload, run the tool, and download when the job completes. No desktop app to install. Compress and convert without throwing away the document structure you need. Files belong to your session or account. Downloads use short-lived signed access. Convert, merge, compress, and protect. Signed-in accounts can review recent jobs so you know what happened to each file. The flow is the same for every job: open a tool, upload a file, and download when processing finishes. Basic use does not need an account. Produce editable documents, extract…from sohappypdf.com

  • I made OwnTime to balance between competing priorities in my life. The idea is based on two main influences: the concept of "roles" from "The 5 Choices" (2015), and my repeated failure to effectively implement time blocking due to the necessary flexibility in my role. The app allows you to define time budgets, which are not much more than a few mutually exclusive countdown timers. The UX is essentially that of a chess clock for an arbitrary number of players with configurable time. The whole point of the app is to kick you out of the running role/priority when its time is up.
