Hi again :)

Toolness is back from a longer than expected winter break with a few changes and a couple more tools.

Hi Toolnessers, a tiny little bit of text for starters. As you might have noticed, it’s been almost three months since my last issue of Toolness came out. A lot of things have kept me very busy since then. New goals at work, job re-organisation, life…

It became more and more clear to me that I wouldn’t be able to keep Toolness running at the pace that I had planned. Researching in a large variety of sources, destilling the seven best tools for you each week, testing them, creating animations, flooding my archives with large lists of possible tools and investing time in marketing seemed too much to handle beside my day job.

Yet, there is a gazillion of new AI and non-AI tools each week and I want to know what’s cooking just as much as you do. So how to handle all this?

I’ve decided to start from the top, to clear the cool tollection one by one, but to treat Toolness more like a blog. It’s what I’m good at, it’s what might feel more personal and less “mechanical” to you. Which also means being more human about publishing…

I will try to keep a regular publication date, that is Fridays. But sometimes it might be seven tools, sometimes just three or even one. And if I might miss an issue once, please bear with me.

It’s not what you’ve signed up for but you might like the result just as much. I hope you do.

And now let’s move on to this week’s tools.

Thank you, Jay

#1 MyMind is a bookmarking tool that uses AI to analyse and index your stuff making it easier for you to search for it later:

#2 Impakt offers online work-out classes and uses AI to help you do them correctly, even building a community behind the idea.

#3 Meco – Nice idea of freeing newsletters from inboxes and giving them a more reading-friendly environment. Meco does just that:

#4 ButterDocs – I’ve been buzzing about this tool for quite some time now, ever since I went back to writing my novel as one of my new year’s resolutions. :) ButterDocs seems to have all the answers and all the tools for writers, free for students and at a reasonable price for fiction writers or marketing teams. So far a bit more buzzing for me, maybe landing during a Black Friday sale if I keep up the daily writing.

So much already for this week. More to come!

And as always: If you like what you’re seeing, please spread the word. If you know a tool I’ve missed, please send me a note at cools@toolness.co. Thank you!
