Questions people ask

Clear answers and limits

Do Labs tools send my work to a server?

The deployed Labs workflows process their inputs in the current browser and do not provide a tool-content upload endpoint. See How Aftermath works for the reviewed network boundary and its limitations.

Which Labs tools can ask for device permission?

Voice Recorder can request microphone access; Camera & Microphone Test can request camera and microphone access; Screen Recorder can request a display source and optional microphone or camera access.

Do I need an account to use a Lab?

No. These Lab workflows run without an account. Some tools can optionally keep local history in the browser when storage is available.

Choose a tool

Choose a browser utility for screen or voice recording, text formatting, QR generation, timers, or device checks. Open the focused tool to see the input it accepts and the result it can create. Recorders request browser permission before capture; text tools work on the content you enter. Results stay in this browser until you copy or download them, and device support varies.

What to choose and what you get

What to choose

  • text, a browser task, or an explicit device permission requested by the selected tool

Result

  • the local utility result or report described by the selected tool

Supported use

  • Each focused route documents its own measurable result or honest limitation.

Browser support and permissions

  • Modern browser with JavaScript; the selected route states any file, codec, device, or permission requirement.
  • Text-only tools need no camera, microphone or screen access. Recording and device-test tools request the browser permissions described on their own pages.

Worked example

Explore private browser tools for utilities, local capture, device checks, typing, click, and reaction tests. Work stays in the current browser.

  • Interactive browser tools grouped into two focused collections
  • Text, developer, timer, QR, and decision utilities
  • Screen capture, device checks, and live input tests

What you can do

Choose among browser-local utilities, capture tools, input tests, and device checks.

Next step: Choose a related route when the input, output, or required workflow is different.

If it does not work

  • Route-specific verification can require a warning or failed result instead of a download.

Things to know

  • Permission, timing, codec, device, and background-tab behavior vary by browser.

Privacy boundary

Selected file bytes and entered browser data remain in the current browser session and are not sent to an Aftermath processing service. How local processing is verified.

What this tool verifies

Checks the displayed limits and reports or creates the local utility result or report described by the selected tool from text, a browser task, or an explicit device permission requested by the selected tool.

Check before sharing

A local measurement or export does not guarantee acceptance by an external destination.
