JustFYI

About

You searched "free PDF merge". You clicked the top result. It looks legit — then it paywalls you after you upload your file, adds a watermark to your work, or turns out to have been abandoned three years ago.

JustFYI tells you before you upload. The toolbar icon changes based on the site you're on:

• Free — no catches, no paywall
• Free with limits — works, but expect caps or friction
• Paid — will charge you
• Abandoned — project is dead, move on
• Unrated — not in the database yet (help us rate it!)

When you hit a paywalled or limited tool, the popup suggests genuinely free alternatives in the same category.

Everything runs locally:
• No tracking. No analytics. No telemetry. No ad networks.
• The ratings database ships inside the extension. It never sends your browsing history, URLs, or page content anywhere.
• Open source. The database is public. The code is auditable.

You can submit a rating from the popup if you spot a tool that's missing, miscategorized, or has changed its pricing.
