Definition

A flashlight, a QR code, and a file converter are chores, not hobbies. Utilities do one job and should leave quickly: scan, convert, measure, translate a sign, or show a boarding barcode the door already understands. Developer tools and Personalization sit elsewhere. The failure mode is a simple tool wrapped in a subscription and a feed. Permissions should match the chore. If a QR scanner wants the entire photo library, that is the wrong trade. A converter that uploads every file to an unknown host is a leak. Clipboard cleaners and unit converters should quit after the chore.

Common tasks

Scan a QR or a document and share the result
Convert a file type on the device
Use a flashlight, level or unit converter
Keep a barcode the door will accept

Common constraints

Many 'free' tools are ad or subscription shells
Conversion quality varies; check the output file
Camera tools should not need contacts
