About Useful Drawer

Useful Drawer is a small collection of browser tools. Each one does a single job — the kind of job that takes twenty minutes by hand and two seconds with the right tool, and that somehow nobody has made a good version of.

Who makes it

It's built and maintained by MRBN, LLC., a small shop that makes software and physical products. The tools here started as things needed for other projects and got cleaned up enough to leave the drawer open.

How the tools work

Everything runs client-side, in your browser. There is no upload step and no server holding your files — when a tool asks for an image, that image is read locally by your own browser and never transmitted anywhere. Close the tab and it's gone.

This is partly a privacy decision and partly a practical one. Tools that don't touch a server are cheap to run and fast to use, since nothing waits on a round trip.

What the tools are for

The screenshot and interface generators here are design tools. They exist for mockups, presentations, tutorials, storyboards, portfolio work, and social content — the everyday situations where you need to show what something looks like on a screen.

They are not for passing off generated images as authentic records. The terms spell that out, and it's worth saying plainly here too.

Suggestions

If there's a small tool you keep wishing existed, that's genuinely useful to hear — most of what's on the roadmap got there because someone mentioned needing it.
