Getting started

Chaining tools together

Most jobs are really two or three tiny tasks in a trench coat. Every tool page ends with the natural next steps, so a merged PDF becomes page images, a receipt becomes a tracked subscription, and a voice note becomes a content pack without a trip back to the toolbox.

Why tools suggest a next step

Real tasks rarely end where they start. You merge a contract packet, then someone asks for the pages as images. You scan a receipt, then the subscription hiding on it needs tracking. Rather than send you back to the toolbox to hunt, every tool page finishes with a next task strip: three follow-on tools picked for the job you just did, in the order people usually need them.

How the suggestions are picked

They are chosen by hand, not by an algorithm: the follow-ons are the tools that take the output of the one you are using as their input, or that finish the job it started. PDF Merger points at PDF to Image, the PDF Compressor and the Receipt Scanner; the Receipt Scanner points at the Subscription Tracker and the Invoice Reminder. If none of them fit, the whole toolbox is one click away in the header.

It costs nothing to look

Opening a suggested tool is free; actions only spend when a tool finishes a job for you. Following a chain just to see where it leads costs nothing but the clicks.

The strip only suggests. Your work stays in the tool you put it in until you hand it to the next one yourself.
