Gathering

About Gathering

Most online tools for this task bury what you need behind ads and forms. Gathering takes the opposite approach: load the page, do the job, leave. Everything happens client-side, which means your files and data never leave your machine. The interface is intentionally minimal so you can focus on the task instead of learning the tool. It is one of about a hundred utility tools that share the same philosophy: do one thing, do it well, get out of your way.
