The internet is full of tools. Most of them are forgettable. These are the ones that earn a permanent spot in your browser.
Welcome to our Web Tools list that we’ll update regularly with tools that we think you’ll enjoy. If you’ve arrived here from The Website Haul – welcome to The Everyday List.
🛍️ Worth Saving
- Squoosh – Google’s browser-based image compressor. Shrinks file sizes by up to 80% without visible quality loss, and your photos never leave your device.
- Print Friendly – Strips ads, nav bars, and clutter from any webpage before you print or save it as a PDF. There’s a browser extension that makes it one click.
- Wordmark – Type in any text and see it rendered instantly across every font installed on your computer, side by side. Built for anyone who works with type.
- WaveSpeed Image Eraser – AI-powered object removal for photos. No account, no watermark, no signup. Just upload, paint over what you want gone, and download.
- WindowSwap – A live window looking out onto someone else’s view somewhere in the world. Ten-minute HD loops with ambient sound. For when you need a change of scenery without leaving your desk.
📱 Worth Using
- Bookmarkify – A visual corkboard for the web. Save and organise links on a canvas layout rather than a list of URLs you’ll never revisit.
- Cosmos – A calm, ad-free space for collecting visual inspiration. Less algorithmic noise than Pinterest, more intentional than a browser bookmark folder.
- Raycast – A command bar for Mac that replaces multiple apps. Launch things, manage your clipboard, run scripts, and interact with AI without taking your hands off the keyboard.
- Snapseed – Google’s free mobile photo editor for iOS and Android. Desktop-level precision — including selective adjustments by area — at no cost, with no subscription.
- CapCut – Free video editor available on web, desktop, and mobile. The auto-caption feature alone is worth downloading it for.
📖 Worth Reading
- Are.na – A bookmarking and idea-collecting platform built without algorithms, engagement metrics, or ads. Channels work like personal moodboards for anything you want to think with.
- Prompts.chat – A library of AI prompt personas that make tools like ChatGPT or Claude significantly more useful. Pin it in your browser if you use AI regularly.
- Ground News – Shows you how different outlets across the political spectrum are covering the same story, side by side. Useful for seeing what’s being covered, and what isn’t.
- Readwise Reader – A read-it-later app built for people who actually want to remember what they read. Handles articles, newsletters, and PDFs, and resurfaces highlights over time.
💭 Worth Thinking About
- FutureMe – Write a letter to yourself and choose a date for it to be delivered — up to ten years from now. Part time capsule, part journalling prompt, and it costs nothing.
- The Sample – A newsletter that sends you a different newsletter excerpt every day based on your interests. A low-effort way to find writers and topics you’d never encounter on a social feed.
