I maintain a small free browser tool for one annoying workflow: opening Apple iWork files on a Windows or Chromebook machine.
People receive .pages, .numbers, or .key files from clients, teachers, coworkers, or family, then discover that the default desktop apps do not open them cleanly.
The tool is here:
The idea is intentionally narrow:
- open Pages, Numbers, and Keynote files online
- avoid installing random desktop converters
- keep the tool lightweight and no-signup
- make each page useful for people who only want to understand what an iWork file is
For a niche utility, I am keeping the structure boring on purpose: one clear use case per page, plain language before technical details, internal links between related formats, and a sitemap that includes every useful tool page.
I am also trying to keep the privacy promise simple. If someone only needs to view a file once, they should not have to upload private work documents to a random converter or install software they will never use again.
Next maintenance pass: improve the Pages-to-PDF and Numbers viewer pages, then watch which long-tail queries start getting impressions in Search Console.
