About Mental Models
Most online tools for this task bury what you need behind ads and forms. Mental Models 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. If you find yourself doing this regularly, the rest of the utility suite covers most adjacent tasks with the same approach.
