Life, slightly less annoying

How we build

One job, done properly

Every tool here solves a single specific annoyance. None of them wants to become a platform.

Your data stays yours

Nothing we build keeps what you put through it. No accounts, no analytics, no profile of you anywhere.

Try before you decide

Every tool has a real free tier — not a three-day trial. Run out and we'll ask; until then we won't.
