APPS, TOOLS & SMALL OBSESSIONS

Small studio.Useful things.

We are LinkReady, an independent product studio. From finding a receipt and framing a building to capturing a conversation and checking an engineering fit, we make tools for the work at hand.

HeatTreat Studio

HeatTreat Studio

See, compare, and calibrate the heat-treatment process.

Build a thermal program, inspect temperature and hardness trends on your device, and calibrate with measured data. Deliver the results together with their sources and model limits.

  • Multi-stage programs for plates, cylinders, and spheres
  • Compare up to four options and calibrate with measured CSV data
  • PDF / CSV / Markdown engineering review packages

For engineering screening and calibration. Built-in material packs are engineering seed data; results do not certify a production process.

Gear Master

From the target ratio to manufacturing checks.

Check spur and helical gear pairs, search by ratio and center distance, and export the nominal tooth profile together with the calculations.

  • Profile shifts, working center distance, and contact ratio
  • Inverse design, candidate comparison, and preliminary strength screening
  • Span and pin measurements; DXF / CSV / Markdown

Strength results are preliminary. DXF exports contain nominal tooth profiles and need tooling and tolerance checks before manufacturing.

04 / PERSONALITY & CIRCUMSTANCES · QIPAN

Qipan

Read the moment through a traditional lens.

Start with a specific concern and explore it through the I Ching and Zi Wei Dou Shu. If you provide a birth date and time period, a basic chart and life stage help shape the AI interpretation. You can also begin without a birth date.

Personal context
Focuses on relevant chart houses and adapts to study, working life, or retirement
Stay with the question
Up to three rounds of analysis on one topic, with focused follow-ups
Back to everyday life
Practical prompts and suggestions for your space and routines
Explore a question with Qipan

For entertainment and self-exploration; not a basis for decisions.

The Qipan question form with an optional birth date and a field for your current dilemma

05 / SELF-EXPLORATION · TYPE PREFERENCE LAB

Type Preference Lab

Understand your preferences, and how you adapt.

After 64 original questions, verify the preferences that fit you best, then use 8 context questions to explore how relationships and pressure affect your behavior. The context profile explains these shifts without changing your type.

Check for yourself
Four-dimension best-fit verification, with room to leave a dimension uncertain
Context profile
Distinguishes stable preferences, role adaptation, pressure shifts, and mixed patterns
Keep your report
Dimension scores, a 16-type matrix, and print / PDF support. Answers and reports stay in this browser.
Explore your type preferences

An original preference tool, not the official MBTI assessment.

FIELD GUIDES

Practical guides, ready to use.

Start with a photograph or a fabrication question. Learn the method, then choose the tool.

04 / THE STUDIO

Small in size.Particular about the details.

LinkReady often starts with a moment of friction: leaning lines in an architectural photo, a conversation moving faster than your notes, or an engineering value you keep looking up.

We turn these moments into products, use them ourselves, and keep refining them. Voice, photography, engineering: each product has its own character. All are made to do the job well.

05 / SAY HELLO

Let’s talk.

A product question, a suggestion, or an idea worth making.
