Data sovereignty
Your data physically can't leave your browser
Most "free" tools are data-harvesting machines in disguise. BeginThings has no backend, no database, no API calls. Open your dev tools and watch the network tab stay empty.
Zero friction
No signup, no email capture. Open a tool, get it done, close the tab.
Local-first & private
Files and notes save to your own browser. Nothing touches our servers.
Installable & offline
Add to your home screen and keep working with no connection.

A movement against software bloat
Builders and privacy-minded professionals are rallying around local-first tools.
“Privacy-first, local-only, zero-backend. The network tab stays empty — this is how tools should work.”
“48 tools with no login walls and no tracking. Bookmark-worthy. Great for getting unstuck fast.”
Placeholder community sentiment shown for layout — to be replaced with real, sourced quotes (Reddit / DEV / Product Hunt) before launch.

Quick answers
Is BeginThings really free?
Yes. All 48 free tools and the core BeginThings Workspace 3D are free to use with no signup. We may add optional paid add-ons later (export themes, brand kits) but the core stays free.
Do I need an account?
No account needed for the free tools. Workspace 3D has an optional local account so you can save multiple workspaces in your browser. We don't send your data anywhere.
Where are my files saved?
Free tools run entirely in your browser. Workspace 3D saves to your browser's localStorage by default. You can also export a workspace as a .3dwb file to share or back up.
Can I install BeginThings as an app?
Yes. Open the site in Chrome, Safari, or Edge on phone or desktop and use "Add to home screen" or "Install app". It runs like a native app and looks tidy in your launcher.

For email support, we usually reply within 24 hours on weekdays. For weekends and holidays, expect a small delay. You can reach us at sourav@beginthings.com.
