Tools we like

Programs we rely on

A short list, each with the one job we use it for. None of them are ours, and none of them pay to be here.

From the same family as this site: TextMe.im for a one-time private message, File Sender for sending a file, and Protected Chat for a private conversation. None needs an account.

The rest of the family

More tools, built to the same standard

Each one does a single job properly, in the same plain language, with no account anywhere.

File Sender

Claim Disk

claimdisk.com
Windows appFree for personal use

Reads the drive’s own file table instead of walking folders, so the whole disk appears quickly, sorted by size. Delete, move and rename from the same window, with a running total of the space reclaimed.

LAN Fixer

Shows the devices on your network in about thirty seconds, explains in plain English what is wrong, and fixes it in one click — with a link straight to your own router’s security advisories and firmware.

Map Blocker

Draws the connections your PC makes on a map of the world, shows which program made it, and blocks any address, region or whole country that has no business being there.
