When a popular tool adds a paywall, a sign-up wall or a pile of ads, we build a calm, free replacement that runs entirely in your browser. No account. No server. Nothing anyone can take away later.
NEWSix new tools docked · PDF, print layout, boards, scanner, beats, QR →Each tool answers one popular app that recently took something away from its free users. It does the job in full and asks for nothing back.
Time tracking for freelancers. Hourly rates per client, fair rounding, reports for any date range, CSV export and a timesheet link you can send to clients — the features that free plans keep moving behind “upgrade”.
Merge, split, reorder, rotate and extract PDF pages — and turn photos into PDFs. Drag pages between files on one board. No daily cap, no upload.
Squeeze: Online PDF tools that allow one free job a month, or a few a day.
Weekly bulletins, newsletters, flyers, certificates, cards and labels on real page sizes. Prints folded booklets in the right page order.
Squeeze: A long-time desktop publishing program retired on 1 Oct 2026.
Unlimited boards with sticky notes, shapes, arrows, frames, voting dots and a timer. Templates for retros, kanban and mind maps.
Squeeze: An online whiteboard whose free plan now stops at 3 boards.
Snap pages with your phone, straighten them, make them crisp and save one clean PDF. No install, no watermark, no scan count.
Squeeze: A popular free scanner app that was retired; others add watermarks and caps.
A groovebox in your browser: synthesized drum kits, bass and lead, patterns, song mode, your own samples, WAV and MIDI export.
Squeeze: A music app that moved beat-making behind a paywall and added ads.
Static QR codes for links, Wi-Fi, contacts and events that can never be switched off. Built-in scan test, label sheets, bulk from a list.
Squeeze: QR generators that deactivate printed codes after a short trial.
