worksfine.tools

Small web tools that just work.

I'm Maris (mab), an IT guy from Latvia. I build the kind of practical tools I wished existed when I needed them — free to use, and made to load fast and get out of the way.

No accounts, no onboarding tour, no cookie banner asking you for permission to follow you around. You open a page, it does the one thing it promises, and you get on with your day.

Baltic Public Transport — Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia on one map

Every bus, tram, trolleybus, train and ferry stop in the three Baltic countries on a single map — over 50,000 stops and their timetables, built from the operators' own open data. Search for a stop, a place or a route number, or just click on the map.

Click a stop and you see where you can get to from there, when the next departure leaves and exactly where to wait for it, plus the full departure board for any day and time. Where operators publish live GPS — Tallinn, Vilnius and Kaunas city transport, Elron and Vivi trains, among others — the vehicles move on the map in real time, with delays shown. Everything else can be shown where it should be according to the timetable.

Handy when a trip crosses a border and the timetables are spread over three countries' websites, when you're finding your way around a city you don't know, or when you just want to see how the whole region hangs together. City transport, regional and intercity buses, trains, ferries and FlixBus coaches are all in one place.

IKEA price compare — IKEA prices across countries

IKEA sells the same catalogue across Europe, but not at the same price. The difference on a single shelf is usually small; on a kitchen, a wardrobe or a full room of furniture it stops being small.

This tool looks up an IKEA product and shows what it costs in different countries, side by side, so you can see the gap before you order. Handy if you live near a border, if you're travelling anyway, or if you just want to know whether the trip is worth it.

GPS Speed Visualizer — see your journey on a map, coloured by speed

I built this one to see how a train journey really went: where it crawled, where it flew, and where it just stood still. Open a GPS track — a GPX file recorded with a phone app, a GPS logger or a car tracker — and the whole trip appears on a map straight away, coloured by speed, with speed and altitude profiles underneath. Nothing to install, no account, and the file never leaves your browser.

The colour scale can stretch over the speeds you actually reached, so the same view works for a train at full speed, a drive on the motorway or a crawl through town. Slow sections, fast stretches and unplanned stops are obvious at a glance instead of buried in a table — handy for looking back at a trip, for comparing two journeys on the same route, or for working out where a recording went wrong.

Alongside that you get distance, duration, average and top speed, so it also works as a plain GPX file viewer when all you want is a quick look at what's inside a file.

More tools are on the way. If there's a small tool you keep wishing existed, tell me about it.

Behind the tools

Everything here is built and self-hosted by me on my own servers at home, in whatever spare time is left after work and family. There's no company behind it, no roadmap and no investor — just things I needed badly enough to build, cleaned up enough to share.

That also means the tools stay small on purpose. Each one does a single job, loads quickly, and doesn't ask you to sign up before it will show you anything. If one of them ever gets in your way, tell me and I'll fix it.

If a tool saved you some time or money, a coffee helps keep the servers running and new tools coming. Thank you.
