251 free browser tools. No signup, no subscription, ever.

251 free browser tools, organized into 11 focused hubs instead of one giant list. AI Career: resume builder, ATS checker, cover letter, interview prep. AI Finance: paycheck calculators for all 50 states, mortgage & FIRE calculators. AI Writer, AI Study, AI PDF and 6 more hubs cover the rest. No signup, no premium tier, no BYOK. Fully browser-based, funded by ads not subscriptions. Built solo — started with one tool, grew from there.
Tried the paycheck calculator for my state and it was spot on, no ads popping up mid-calculation which was a nice surprise. Having everything split into 11 hubs actually makes it way easier to find what you need.
@hyoran35878 Really glad the state calculator landed right, and that the no ads mid task thing stood out that was intentional, the ad model here is meant to fund the tools without getting in the way of actually using them. Appreciate you checking out the hub layout too.
@hyoran35878 Honestly the hardest part of running this solo. State paycheck calculators get a manual review pass when tax brackets change (usually once a year, sometimes mid-year updates). I'm looking at automating a "last verified" date per tool so users can see freshness at a glance not live yet but on the roadmap with a chat bot too which can actually help the users to clear their doubts.
How do you keep the ad model from turning into a cluttered mess across 251 tools, especially on the calculator-heavy hubs where you'd think users want a clean quick answer?
@yaar89286282857 So I kept ads off the calculator/tool pages entirely, they only show on hub landing pages. Didn't want someone mid-calculation to get interrupted by a banner. Tradeoff is less inventory but felt right for a utility site.
The 11-hub layout sounds like a smart way to keep things scannable. One thing that would help a lot is a simple "recently used" or favorites section that remembers which calculators or tools you actually come back to, especially for the paycheck and mortgage ones where you're often re-running the same numbers with small changes.
@metehant8yx A recently used shortcut for the calculators and other tools is exactly the kind of thing I should build next, especially for the ones people rerun with small changes. Adding it to the list.
Built by one person and actually useful, the ATS checker flagged formatting issues my resume had for months. Love that it stays free instead of locking the good stuff behind a paywall.
@nuraykcrlapze The free tier being the actual product (not a limited trial) was the whole point glad it's landing that way. Thank You i Really appreciate that
The ATS checker flagged some weird formatting in my resume I never noticed before, which was genuinely helpful. Love that there's no signup wall, just clicked and used it.
@nurcanolak93273 That's honestly my favorite kind of feedback a tool catching something you didn't even know was wrong. Thanks for trying it out.
How do you keep all 251 tools updated and accurate without a team, especially the state-specific paycheck calculators since tax rules change yearly?
