About Tools Are
Cool
We believe that powerful tools should be accessible to everyone. Our mission is to democratize productivity, creativity, and technical capabilities through beautifully designed web applications.
Our Mission
In a world where powerful software often comes with hefty price tags, complex installations, or privacy concerns, we saw an opportunity to do things differently. Tools Are Cool was born from the simple belief that everyone deserves access to high-quality, intuitive tools that respect their privacy and time.
Every tool we create runs entirely in your browser, ensuring your data stays private while delivering professional-grade functionality without the need for downloads or subscriptions.
Privacy First
All processing happens in your browser. Your data never leaves your device.
Instant Access
No downloads, no installations. Just open your browser and start creating.
Always Free
Quality tools shouldn't break the bank. Our core features are free forever.
Building Tools
That Matter
From development utilities to productivity enhancers, every tool we create is designed with user experience at its core. We focus on performance, accessibility, and privacy to deliver exceptional value.
Our commitment goes beyond just functionality. We're building a platform where powerful capabilities meet intuitive design, ensuring everyone can accomplish their goals efficiently and securely.
Our Journey
The Spark
It started with a simple frustration: why did every useful online tool require signing up, downloading software, or compromising privacy? Our founders, experienced developers and designers, decided to build the tools they wished existed - powerful, beautiful, and respectful of users.
Building the Foundation
We started with the essentials — text utilities like the Text Case Converter and Text Readability Score, plus early finance tools such as the Vacation Budget Calculator and the Side Hustle Income Calculator. Each tool was crafted with obsessive attention to user experience, performance, and privacy. The positive response encouraged us to expand our vision.
Growing the Ecosystem
Today, Tools Are Cool serves thousands of users daily across development, design, productivity, and utility categories. We've built everything from useful finance calculators to sophisticated text analysis tools, always maintaining our core principles of privacy, accessibility, and excellence.
