The art of intention! The pleasure of anticipation! The perfect bliss of knowing your inbox won’t fill up the moment you clear it!

Also, save on stamps!

Pally

This one might be polarizing, but it could be helpful for sales or nonprofit fundraising.

Pally is a “personal relationship management platform” that pulls together your entire network from all your socials, emails, and apps into one searchable place.

It researches “everything they’ve ever posted online” to help you prepare for meetings, introduce yourself, or reconnect.

It uses smart tagging, enriched profiles, and real-time insights to help you remember who’s who, what you talked about, and what matters most to them.

Offerwall

👀 Sponsor this spot to share your product or service with our community.

Alas! Google has introduced a new monetization tool called Offerwall to help offset the loss of referral traffic caused by AI-powered search.

Available for free in Google Ad Manager, Offerwall lets publishers present readers with flexible access options—like watching ads, taking surveys, or making micropayments—to unlock content.

Publishers can also customize the Offerwall with their own branding and include options like newsletter sign-ups.

During its year-long test with 1,000 publishers, Offerwall led to average revenue lifts of 5–15%, with some publishers seeing as much as 20%.

Rumora

Rumora is a tool that helps you reach new audiences on YouTube by placing relevant comments on videos that are gaining traction in your niche.

So, instead of paying for ads, it works by identifying videos your potential customers are already watching, then helping you write comments that naturally reference your product or brand.

As these videos go viral, your comment stays visible near the top. On average, Rumora users see higher ROI than traditional PPC campaigns, with measurable increases in brand searches and direct traffic.

“Comment marketing” is a quiet, low-cost way to build awareness and reach people when they’re most engaged.

Freesound

Need a .wav for something?

Freesound is a free online platform that hosts a massive, user-generated database of audio samples, snippets, field recordings, and sound effects.

All content is shared under Creative Commons licenses, which means it’s fair game to remix and modify for your projects.

/meet

Notion’s AI Meeting Notes (/meet) has just graduated from alpha.

With a simple /meet command or a click from Notion Calendar, it captures and organizes your meeting notes directly where your work lives.

That means instant recall, searchable history, and docs that stay connected to your projects and team.

Timepeek

Timepeek is a free timezone planning tool built for remote teams, freelancers, and global collaborators.

You can visually compare times between locations, rename cities to match team roles or names, and drag a clock slider to simulate time changes across zones in real time.

Just type in a specific time, see its impact across team members’ time zones instantly, and share the schedule using a unique link; no account or login required.

And it’s pretty. 🙂

Copy as Markdown

Copy as Markdown is a browser tool that converts web content into clean, easy-to-read Markdown with just one click.

This makes grabbing and pasting articles, text blocks, or code snippets into ChatGPT a total breeze.

You can also paste already formatted text—like from a Word doc or styled web content—and instantly convert it to Markdown.

Ideal for writers, devs, and anyone working with AI chats.

Chronicle: Cursor for Slides

Chronicle is an AI-powered presentation tool that uses a system of modular Widgets—like cards, timelines, numbers, and embeds—to help you present information clearly and visually.

You can start with a rough outline or idea and use Chronicle to shape it into something more structured.

Widgets are easy to swap and customize, making it simple to experiment with layouts or content types. And if you work with a team, real-time collaboration lets everyone contribute at once.

Chronicle also supports embeds from other tools, keyboard shortcuts for faster workflows, and mobile-friendly formats.
