Why use a browser tool
Browser tools beat installable apps when the job is small. You don't have to manage updates, sign in, or wait for a heavy program to load. Clef Reference runs entirely in your browser. Your input never leaves your device, no analytics watch what you type, and the page stops working the moment you close the tab.

South Fork Apps tools process everything client-side in JavaScript. No server sees your data. Nothing is stored, logged, or sent anywhere. If you're working with sensitive content, you can verify by opening the page once, disconnecting from the internet, and watching Clef Reference keep working.
