What this is

A personal launcher for the GMIAU bundle suite — a set of browser tools for assembling, auditing and marking up case files. Every tool runs entirely in your browser: nothing is uploaded, and client data never leaves this device. Each tool page carries its own Guide tab with detailed instructions.

Typical workflow

1. Open the Tools tab and pick the tool for the job.
2. Star (★) the tools you use most — they rise to a Pinned section at the top.
3. In each tool, start on its own 📖 Guide tab if it's your first time.
4. Process the files locally, then download the result. Close the tab when you're done — client data is held only in memory.

The tools

🧰 Bundle Builder

Compile appeal, application or CoA bundles with a cover page and index.

🧰 Evidence Exhibitor

Exhibit covers, metadata stripping, and WhatsApp / matrix extracts. Sister tool to Bundle Builder.

🧰 Bundle Bookmarker

Add or rewrite the PDF bookmark tree on an existing bundle.

🧰 Passage Picker

Margin-line a bundle PDF to mark the passages you rely on. Sister tool to Bundle Bookmarker.

🧰 Compiler

Turn CMS notes plus an 01 LH/ folder into a bound PDF with a clickable index.

🧰 Filer

Outbound case-file packager — produces a bound PDF or a structured ZIP.

🧰 Auditor

Per-file ownership check plus a missing-document scan. Sister tool to Filer.

The tabs

🧰 Tools

The catalogue. Click a tile to open a tool; click the star to pin it.

⚙ Config

Launcher preferences — pinned tools, whether tools open in a new tab, and whether the Guide tab shows. You can also load a GMIAU-tools-RB.conf One File so your pinned list follows your config.

🎨 Settings

Appearance — light / dark mode, UI font and font size. These style the launcher only; each tool keeps its own theme.

Tips & gotchas

• Preferences are stored in this browser's localStorage — they don't follow you to another device or a private window.
• Loading a One File config sets pins from launcher.pinned. Stars you click afterwards take over (a local override); use Reset to config to hand control back.
• This public launcher has no Database tile and ignores paths.database — that lives in the local desktop launcher only.
