Building Tool Hut for your AI tool stack

About

I'm Dave — a maker building Tool Hut, a local-first dashboard for tracking, organising and launching all your AI tools in one place. It started from my own mess: a dozen AI subscriptions on auto-renew, half of them forgotten, a couple doing the same job. I wanted one private place that showed me what I actually use, what it costs, and what to cut — so I built it. I care about software that respects you: no account walls, no selling your data, no dark patterns. Tool Hut runs in your browser, keeps your data on your device, and is free to use. Always keen to chat with other makers and hear how you wrangle your own AI stack — say hi 👋

How do you keep up when your AI tools change under you?

I run about a dozen AI tools across my projects, and the hard part was never picking them it's that they keep changing. Cursor tweaks pricing, Claude ships a new model, something I depend on gets deprecated, and I find out weeks late.

Genuinely curious how the PH crowd handles it:

  • How many AI tools are in your stack right now?

  • How do you find out when one changes newsletters, X, Discord, or just vibes?

  • Ever kept using a tool a better alternative quietly replaced?

(Full disclosure: this is the itch I built Tool Hut to scratch but I'd love to hear how you solve it today.)

Tool Hut - Build the right AI stack, and stay current as it changes

Tool Hut is AI-stack intelligence for solo builders. Start from a proven stack for what you're building — the tools that work together, why each was chosen, and what to skip. Then it watches those tools and tells you what matters: pricing changes, new releases, shutdowns — plus a hand-picked alternative when something better ships. A materiality bar keeps the noise out, and a weekly email means you never have to check. Local-first, free, no account required.
