About WaaFaa
We build our own digital products
One founder, seven Chrome extensions and an open-source research framework. No investors, no roadmap written by committee — just tools we use ourselves, shipped and maintained in-house.
Privacy-first
No browsing history stored, no accounts required, and nothing collected that you did not choose to share.
Built to last
Every product still gets releases. When YouTube, Chrome or a file format changes, we update rather than walk away.

Our Products
Products We Build & Ship
Seven privacy-first Chrome extensions we design, build and maintain ourselves. Every one of them is free to install and keep using; where a Pro licence exists it is sold through Freemius, our reseller and Merchant of Record.
Chrome Extension
Hide Shorts, Reels & Stories
Hides Shorts, Reels, Stories, Explore and short-form video across YouTube, Facebook and Instagram, so the feed you open is the one you meant to open.
Chrome Extension
PDFCraft
Turns images into a PDF and merges PDFs entirely inside your own browser. No uploads, no account, no permission warning — and it works offline.
Chrome Extension
ImagePolish
Shows exactly what hidden information an image carries, removes it without touching a single pixel, and proves it is gone — entirely on your device.
Chrome Extension
Formatly
Brings eighteen text styles to platforms that refuse to format your posts — in a full editor, or right inside the Facebook composer.
Chrome Extension
FileLens
Renders Markdown and JSON properly in the tab you already opened — same URL, so bookmarks, history and reload keep working.
Chrome Extension
Profile Tags
Adds colour-coded private labels to profiles you know on Facebook and Instagram, then surfaces them in posts, comments and profile pages.
Chrome Extension
LeadProof
Turns a business website into an evidence-backed prospect list. Every lead shows the pages it came from and the arithmetic behind its confidence score.

Product Intelligence OS
Research that can say no.
AI made building cheap. It made building the wrong thing cheap too. You describe a product idea in one sentence; PIOS researches it, argues with it, specifies it, and hands you the documents an engineer or a coding agent starts building from — or it tells you not to build it, and that is a complete, successful result.
- Every factual claim it writes carries a source tag
- Every module has a gate it must pass before the next starts
- When a gate cannot be passed honestly, the run stops
