About Tools
Are Cool
Powerful tools should be accessible to everyone. The mission is to democratize productivity, creativity, and technical capabilities through beautifully designed web applications.
The Mission
In a world where powerful software often comes with hefty price tags, complex installations, or privacy concerns, there was 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 created 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.
The Journey
The Spark
It started with a simple frustration: why did every useful online tool require signing up, downloading software, or compromising privacy? The decision was made to build the tools that should exist - powerful, beautiful, and respectful of users.
Building the Foundation
The journey began 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 the expansion of this vision.
Growing the Ecosystem
Today, Tools Are Cool serves thousands of users daily across development, design, productivity, and utility categories. Everything from useful finance calculators to sophisticated text analysis tools has been built, always maintaining the core principles of privacy, accessibility, and excellence.
