Every product ships
under its own name.
Studio Ropewalk is a limited liability company holding a portfolio of independently branded software products.
Rather than operating under one shared name, each product ships as its own trade name, with its own domain, its own brand, and its own customers. What follows is the current portfolio, grouped by how each one earns.
Readiness
Ad-Supported Web Tools
Free browser-based utilities, monetised through display advertising. The converters need no account and never upload a file; the calculators add a free account, and each now sells an optional annual membership on top of it. Every calculator stays free on either tier.

Jaypegery
A free image-format converter for JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, SVG and AVIF, alongside an EXIF viewer that reads a photo's embedded metadata and strips it back out without re-encoding the image. Every conversion happens in the visitor's browser; no file is ever uploaded to a server. There is no paid tier and no account requirement.

FileFinery
Converts images and common document formats (DOCX, TXT, MD, HTML) to PDF, and ships merge, split and page-reorder tools alongside a directory for finding a nearby print shop. Processing is client-side, so no user file is transmitted or stored.

Plankmath
Home-improvement calculators for DIY homeowners: paint, flooring, decking, gravel and similar material math, plus an electrical bench covering wire size, voltage drop, conduit fill, service load and generator sizing. Every calculator is free and ad-supported; a $24/yr membership, now open, lifts the cap on saved projects and calculations.

Salarysmith
A paycheck and take-home-pay calculator covering every state, itemising each deduction from gross to net, alongside 401(k), retirement, mortgage, loan and job-offer tools and a set of early-retirement calculators. Every state figure is verified against that state's own revenue department rather than an aggregator. A free account saves calculation history; a $39/yr membership, now open, removes its limits.

Subscription Software
Recurring-revenue products, each with a free trial or a permanently free tier before billing starts.

Withholdwell
A natural progression from Salarysmith’s work: the same state tax tables, read from each state’s own revenue department rather than an aggregator, now sold to the software that needs the figure rather than the page. US payroll tax as an API — gross-to-net, supplemental wages, self-employment tax, overtime, employer cost and real Form W-4 withholding, computed from published statute across all 51 jurisdictions with nothing estimated. Calculation only — it files nothing and moves no money, and no calculation input or output is ever logged or stored. Coverage is published openly and needs no key, naming what each jurisdiction deliberately omits, and every rate cites the department document it came from. Keys are self-serve and pricing is published: no sales call.

Lossworth
lossworth.com · iOS · Android
Contents inventory for property-loss claims, sold to restoration firms and public adjusters. A technician photographs each room of a damaged property on a phone; the web app turns those photos into an itemised inventory with replacement cost, depreciation and actual cash value on every line, which the firm reviews and corrects before exporting it as a CSV that estimating software can import. The model identifies each item; it never sets a value — every figure is computed from the item’s category, condition and age. A firm holds one subscription and puts its crew on it.

PerkMaximus
iOS · Android
Tells you which of your own credit cards earns the most on a given purchase, and tracks the rotating and annual credits attached to those cards so they never expire unused. The winning card for every category is free forever; the paid tier adds the ranked runners-up, activation reminders and the expiring-credit tracker. It holds no account data and never connects to a bank; card selections stay on the device.

Above
viewabove.app · iOS
Point an iPhone at the sky and it labels what is overhead on the live camera view: airliners with route and type, satellites including the ISS and Starlink trains, the Sun, Moon and planets, and stars and constellations. A depth slider filters everything by distance, so a crowded sky can be read one layer at a time. The live sky is free; Above Plus adds rewind (“what was that?”), pass alerts and a transit finder. No account, no ads and no tracking; the camera feed never leaves the phone.

Tieledger
tieledger.com
Turns a trial balance into the expense-disaggregation footnote that FASB’s ASU 2024-03 requires of public companies for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026. Rules map ledger accounts to income-statement captions and to the five required expense categories; a preparer resolves what is flagged, a separate reviewer locks the period, and the exports go to the auditor. Every figure traces to a trial-balance row and the rule that placed it, so the auditor can re-perform it. Reads a CSV, or pulls from NetSuite, Sage Intacct or Dynamics 365 Finance; all three connectors are built and have not yet been run against a live ERP environment.

Why separate brands, not one
Separate brands, one entity
Each product carries its own trade name, domain and customer base. A restoration crew photographing a flooded basement and a controller closing the quarter have nothing to say to each other, and a single studio brand stretched across both would serve neither. Studio Ropewalk is the holding structure, not the consumer-facing name.
Shared plumbing
One set of accounts (registrar, source control, payments, ad network, developer programs) is set up once and reused across the whole portfolio. The brands are separate; the infrastructure underneath them is not, which is what keeps a portfolio this size tractable.
Sequenced, not simultaneous
Products that scale on their own ship as soon as they are ready. Products that need a person in the loop, such as a direct sales motion, launch one at a time and are timed to their season, because those motions cannot run in parallel.
Status stated plainly
Nothing above is described as further along than it is. The readiness filter at the top of the register counts what is live, what is built and waiting on a launch step, and what is still in development. That is the honest shape of the portfolio today.
