Small tools for real problems.
A growing set of small web tools – some for the factory floor, some for personal practice. Each one started as a real problem, then got cleaned up enough to share.
Real numbers from systems still in use
These come from the live systems behind the flagship tools – a two-site Scottish food manufacturer the software still runs on today.
Both sites stay audit-ready for BRC and M&S on the systems these tools grew out of.
Staff figure is the current headcount across the two sites the systems run on.
Pick the one you need
Some live here on kubatools. Others have their own homes and open in a new tab.
Hygiene Management System
A full factory hygiene-management suite – cleaning schedules, shift reports, attendance and clocking, holiday board, floor plans, CIC documents, organigram and dashboards – running live on a fictional two-site demo dataset. Sign in with the on-screen password and click through every tool; the demo data resets on demand.
Holiday Planner
A production holiday-booking board running on a synthetic team. Book time off and approve requests in a couple of taps, then see who's off across the whole year at a glance.
CIC Maker
Free, open-source tool for generating Cleaning Instruction Cards for any food-manufacturing environment. Built around the BRC standard.
SOP Maker
Author controlled Safe Operating Procedures – document control, image callouts, and print-ready legal output. Self-contained and works offline.
Panel Instructions
Build multilingual operator guides for any equipment panel. Drop hotspots on a photo, write the steps in EN / PL / RU / RO, print a QR for the machine.
Panel Measurement Tool
Photograph a flat equipment panel, mark its corners (or trace edge-lines for rounded panels), and read real-world distances. Trace each button, screen, or hole – export a measurement report, an SVG stencil for printing, or an interactive HTML report with toggleable measurements.
SOP Studio
Author multilingual work-instructions for factory equipment. Drop pins and highlights on photos, write the steps in EN / PL / RO / RU, generate a QR code that workers scan from their phone. Each finished instruction is a single self-contained HTML file – paste it anywhere, works offline.
KPSCAN
Factory tray-end barcode validator. Operator scans a tray code on their phone, instantly sees if the label matches the product. PWA – works offline.
Mentid
"Mental tidy" – a private four-tool thinking ecosystem for sorting noisy thought into clear next steps. Built to quiet a noisy head, shared for the curious.
KubaOS Desktop
The whole hub as a desktop you can play with – draggable windows, a working file system, a terminal, and a launcher for every tool above. Built for fun, and to show what a web app can be.

Made from real problems, not whiteboards
These tools come from Jakub Rimek – director of DaVinci Enterprise Services, assistant hygiene manager, and freelance developer – based in Fife, Scotland and working in two worlds at once – the office where software gets specified, and the factory floor where it gets ignored. Each tool here started as a real problem: a paper guide nobody reads, a compliance form that takes too long, a barcode that needed validating before a tray went out, or a noisy head that needed sorting. I built the tool to fix it, then cleaned it up enough to share. Custom work runs through rimek.uk.
