tools
638 tools from my private database: 7 top picks, 34 more in my stack, 15 I tried and dropped, and 1 I'd tell you to avoid. Every fact was web-verified in Aug 2026.
How this works
This is my private tool database, published as-is. Tiers mean what they say: In my stack is what I run today, Tried is what I used and set aside (including the ones I dropped), On my radar is what I'm watching or researching, Catalogued is filed but untested, and Not for me is what I actively avoid. Top picks sit above their tier: my highest rating.
The facts on each row (platform, pricing, API) were checked on the web on the date shown. Ratings, verdicts, and notes are my own words, written for myself first.
