What The Tool Shed is
A running list of free web tools worth knowing about — sorted by what they actually do, not by who's paying to be featured.
The list started as a batch of tools worth bookmarking, and grew from there. Every entry gets a plain one-line description and a direct link — no account required to browse, no dark patterns to click through.
A handful of entries sit in a real legal gray area (they're marked). We list them because they're part of how people actually use the web, not because we're endorsing copyright infringement — read the note on each one and use your own judgment.
Some links on this site may eventually be affiliate links. That won't change which tools make the list.
