Utilities
Small web tools that do one useful job.

Feed Me
Feed Me is a personal, AI-ranked news reader that puts your interests in charge. Add the sources you follow and tell it the topics you want more (and less) of, and it ranks every new article by how well it matches you — getting sharper as you vote, tune your interests, and tap topics to see more like them. Browse what's most Relevant, or everything from Today. Free, runs in any browser, and installs like an app.

Budget by Mail
Budget by Mail turns the transaction-alert emails your bank already sends into a categorized budget in a Google Sheet you own — no bank logins, no account linking. It reads each alert, uses AI to extract and categorize the transaction, and feeds self-updating monthly, annual, and cashflow dashboards, all inside your own Google account. Invitation-only during early access.

Image Resizer
Image Resizer is a free, browser-based tool that shrinks and converts your photos entirely on your own device — nothing is ever uploaded. Drop in a batch of images (JPEG, PNG, WebP, or iPhone HEIC), pick a maximum dimension and quality, and it resizes them in seconds, showing how much smaller each one got. Download them individually or as a single zip. Because everything runs locally, it's completely private, works offline, and installs to your desktop or home screen like a native app.

Monte Carlo Sheets
Monte Carlo Sheets is a free retirement simulator that lives entirely in a Google Sheet. It stress-tests your retirement plan against 150+ years of real market history — running 1,000 simulated retirements built from actual stock, bond, and inflation sequences (1871–present), not idealized bell curves. Pick from five withdrawal strategies (the 4% rule, Guyton-Klinger guardrails, VPW, and more) and three allocation strategies, then see how often your plan survives — and when a simulated retirement fails, drill into the exact year-by-year path and let AI explain what killed it and which changes would actually have saved it, backed by replayed numbers rather than guesswork. Make a copy of the template and everything — your finances, your results — stays in a spreadsheet only you own.
Games
Things to play — solo or with friends.

Legionfall
LEGIONFALL is a free, browser-based multiplayer strategy game — a fan tribute to the 1980s board game Titan. Command a Titan and its growing armies of mythic creatures: march legions across an overworld, recruit monsters, and clash with rivals on tactical hex battlefields. Play with friends over a shareable link or against AI — no download, no sign-up. The last Titan standing wins.
-
Tiddle
Tiddle is a free daily word game for your browser — a bite-sized puzzle in the spirit of Wordle, but played on a board. Everyone gets the same 5×5 grid and rack of tiles each day: spell words, build on the ones already down, and land letters on bonus squares to beat the day's target score for a bronze, silver, or gold medal. Then compare on the leaderboard, watch replays of the best games, and share your result with a link — no download, no sign-up.

Word Wrangler
WordWrangler is a free daily word puzzle: a 5×5 grid where every row and every column must spell a real word. Each day the rows arrive scrambled — swap two tiles at a time to wrangle all twenty-five letters into place. A quick brain teaser with a timer running, so you can race the clock and share your solve time. No account, no download; just tap "Go!" How fast can you crack it?
