How our tools work

  • Private by design

    Images, videos, recordings and PDFs are processed on your own device. Nothing you open in these tools is uploaded to us.

  • Free, with no account

    Open a tool and start. There is no sign-up, no watermark and no usage limit; the site is supported by ads.

  • Open-source foundations

    Built on proven open-source projects such as Whisper, Real-ESRGAN, ISNet, PDF.js and ONNX Runtime, and credited on each tool’s page.

Questions

Are these tools really free?

Yes. There is no account, no trial and no watermark. OneAppleFall is supported by advertising.

What happens to my files and text?

The upscaler, background remover, transcriber, PDF converters and Astra Editor all work on your own device, so your files are never uploaded; the cost calculator keeps your numbers in your browser. Al-Qalam keeps your designs in your browser, but the text you ask it to convert or translate is sent to Google’s input and translation services. See our privacy policy. The check writer, slang decoder and gift finder also run entirely in your browser and save nothing.

Where is the AI in each tool?

Al-Qalam uses machine translation and Google’s Roman-Urdu engine to write your words; the upscaler uses Real-ESRGAN, a neural network trained to restore real-world photos; the background remover uses ISNet to find the subject; the transcriber and Astra Editor use Whisper speech recognition. CareerPilot, plus the optional AI features in the transcriber and gift finder, run open Qwen3 language models on your own computer through WebLLM, free and without sending your text anywhere. The PDF converters read the PDF’s own text and layout, without AI.

Do I need to install anything?

All the tools except Astra Editor run in any modern browser, best on a laptop or desktop with Chrome or Edge. Astra Editor is a Windows app: download it, install Python 3.12, and double-click to start.
