Sponsor these tools

Every tool here is free, private and runs in your browser, and we'd like to keep it that way. If one saved you time or money, here's how to help:

  • Sponsor a tool. Your logo and link sit right under the tool for 12 months, from $150 a year. Look for "Sponsor this tool" on any tool page.
  • Sponsor the tools page ($200 a year) or All the Tools ($999 a year: every tool page, plus 10% off one design project).
  • Leave a tip on Ko-fi. Any amount helps keep the tools free.
  • Hire us. Client work funds the free stuff: logos & branding, custom graphics, portraits.
