Cal ID

Cal ID is a free-forever, cloud‑based scheduling platform for appointments, meetings, and calendar coordination.

It offers unlimited event types and booking links without premium tiers, and it syncs with Google Calendar, Outlook, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, etc.

There’s also payment integration support.

Eureka

Eureka is a “visual knowledge exploration platform.” What’s that you ask?

It turns any book, article, or topic into a visual knowledge map and network of nodes and ideas you can jump between and zoom into. In case you’re not exactly a linear thinker.

You can also generate articles or scripts directly from the knowledge graph, use interactive tools on the canvas, and navigate a topic in patterns instead of paragraphs.

GanttTool

GanttTool is a free project-management browser tool that helps you build professional Gantt charts without subscriptions, limits, or logins.

It has smart dependency detection, drag-and-drop task reordering, resource allocation, custom colors and styling, notes, hyperlinks, and flexible scheduling by date, offset, or relationship. You can export your work as SVG, PNG, or raw PlantUML code, making it easy to share or embed diagrams anywhere.

ZapDigits

ZapDigits is a lightweight tool to help you build client-ready marketing dashboards without the bloat.

Connect your existing tools (Stripe, Supabase, GitHub, YouTube, and more), and the platform automatically builds a personalized dashboard.

Customize with the no-code builder; drag, drop, and arrange your metrics; select from pre-built widgets; and get daily insights by email to keep on track.

Rephrase

Rephrase lives natively on MacOS and works inside Slack, Notion, Mail, Discord, etc. to help you clean up sentences, rewrite messages, and fix messy notes.

Just highlight text, hit your custom hotkey, and tighten up your prose without switched tabs or contexts. Instantly format lists, shift tone, translate, summarize, or create your own custom prompts for any task.

In “Lazy Mode,” type lowercase, shorthand, or half-formed thoughts and Rephrase will turn it into polished writing.

InsightTube

If you consume a high volume of videos for trendspotting or market research, you may need to cut some corners now and then.

InsightTube is an iPhone/macOS app that helps you get the gist of any YouTube video without watching it in full.

Paste a video link to get a summary of key ideas and takeaways, automatic chapters, subtitles, and translations.

Hatable

What if ChatGPT was… honestly kind of a hater?

Hatable’s AI visits your site and then roasts you real good.

Your headline is confusing, your color palette is busted… no euphemisms, no compliments, just ruthless clocking.

HushLink

If you’re selling digital content, you can use HushLink in lieu of an unwieldy digital storefront or subscription platform.

Just upload your PDF/template/video/preset/guide, etc. Then, set your price and share the link on any platform.

You get paid instantly through Stripe, with daily payouts sent straight to your bank account.

You can password-protect content, offer pay-to-unlock files, and manage everything from one dashboard.

ProspectEcho

Brands that are actively running Facebook ads might just be your ideal prospects. They’ve clearly got the budget and they’re ready to invest.

ProspectEcho helps you find verified contact info for them quickly.

You just query the Meta Ad library, searching by industry, location, or company type; paste the search URL into ProspectEcho; and get a CSV of verified contacts.
