Polytropos Lab

Many turns. One craft.

A one-person workshop shipping small, sharp, free tools. Each one does a single job well, runs on your device, and asks for nothing back — no ads, no accounts, no analytics.

The Fleet

Cyclops icon: a single eye on a gold square

Cyclops – Full Page Screenshot

One eye. The whole page.

Captures the entire page, the visible area, or a selected region in one click, and saves it as PNG or PDF into date-organized folders you choose. Runs entirely on your device.

Ariadne icon: a golden ball of thread with one strand trailing loose

Ariadne – Vertical Tabs & Tab Manager

Never lose the thread.

Vertical tabs in a tree — every tab sits under the tab it was opened from. Quiet session snapshots mean a crash costs nothing, and eight save-for-later shelves keep the intent without keeping the tab. Free, local, no account.

The Workshop

Polytropos Lab is one person and a workbench. The tools are small on purpose: each does a single job well, and everything — captures, sessions, settings, history — stays on your machine. Free isn't a trial here and privacy isn't a tier; they're the point.

The workshop runs on Greek myth the way other shops run on coffee. Every tool carries the name that explains it — one great eye for whole pages, a golden thread for a hundred tabs — and blind Homer writes every release into the Ship's Log.

Who's sailing, and why everything is free: The Voyage. The thinking behind the decisions: The Stoa.
