About
Tools you can trust
A pinchavelho is the small part that makes a machine work. That is what we build: small, simple, useful tools for your browser.
We started from a real concern: many free extensions collect data, show ads or hide code that does more than it says. So we build our own tools, ones people can trust, and we say clearly what they do and what they don’t.
We are an independent, one-person studio in Portugal. Our software is proprietary (closed source); this website and our policies are public.
Our principles
Privacy first
We do not collect, sell or share personal data. No tracking, no analytics, no ads, no remote code. Your data stays on your device.
Minimal permissions
We ask only for what a feature needs, when you use it, and explain every permission in plain words.
Respect for creators and websites
Our tools never get around copy protection (DRM), encryption, paywalls or other protection measures.
Freedom with responsibility
You decide how to use your tools, within the law. We tell you the limits without lecturing.
Fair price
The essentials are free. Pro is a one-time payment, with a 15-day free trial and no account.
