About & methodology

ClearByte Tools is an independent collection of small digital utilities and plain-language field notes. The aim is simple: a useful result, with enough explanation to understand it.

What we build

Our tools focus on recurring tasks: estimating transfer time, comparing data units, creating random passwords, calculating file sizes and checking text. They run in the browser without an account or a server-side calculation service.

How we explain a result

Each calculator states its units and assumptions, includes an example and links to primary references where appropriate. Estimates such as download time cannot promise real-world performance. A connection's advertised speed is a ceiling, not a measurement of a particular transfer.

Editorial approach

The launch collection was prepared with AI-assisted development and writing. This is not a claim of independent expert review. We use primary technical references, transparent formulas and functional checks, and avoid inventing authors, credentials, ratings or test results. Published dates describe publication here; source pages may change afterward.

Privacy by separation

Interactive tools run inside sandboxed frames with network access disabled. Files and generated passwords are not sent to our servers. This separation prevents advertising scripts in the surrounding page from reading the tool's document. It does not protect against a compromised device or a browser extension with broad permissions.

How the site is supported

Optional third-party advertising may support the site. Advertising does not change calculations. See privacy and advertising choices for details and controls.

Spot something wrong?

Cross-check important results against the cited method. If a tool fails on your device, its formula and worked example remain available below it. This small independent project currently has no staffed support desk.
