Free Tools

Built for good, free to use.

A few public builds I made because they should exist. No paywalls, no logins, no catch. Use them, share them, and tell me if they help.

Park Pals

A playful way for kids and families to explore all 63 US national parks. Collect critter friends, earn stamps and badges, and pick up real facts about each park along the way. It also points families toward the National Park Service and the National Park Foundation.

Findwell

A free, no-login tool that helps communities find funding and resources they actually qualify for, in plain language instead of grant jargon. The emergency services library covers fire, EMS, law enforcement, and 911 in all 50 states, and the newest library, Pride, brings grants and support for LGBTQ+ people across all 50 states plus DC.

Signature Animator

Draw your signature and watch it sign itself like a live autopen, then export a self-drawing SVG you can drop into any page. Everything runs on your device: nothing is uploaded, nothing is saved unless you export it. Ships as one file, no dependency, no network call.

Resume Tracker Script

A small open-source script that turns a folder of resume files into an organized Excel job-application tracker. It pulls company names, titles, and dates from your file names, adds color-coded status dropdowns and links back to each resume, and you can re-run it as you apply without losing your edits.

  • Open source

HQ

A Claude skill for when you have several Claude sessions open and no session that holds the whole board. HQ is the one that does: it holds the tracker, decides what runs next, writes the paste-and-go prompt for it, and reviews what comes back before anything ships. Sanitized from the real one I run my own days on.

Shut Up, Clawd

A Claude skill for anyone who has skimmed an AI answer looking for the part they asked for. Say "too many words" once and Claude answers in five sentences or fewer until you ask for detail. Files, code, and drafts stay full quality; only the chat around them shrinks. One file, install in three steps.

Know a tool that should exist and be free?

If there is a small, useful thing your community keeps wishing for, tell me about it. Some of the best builds start as someone else's good idea.
