Curated for the open web

Useful tools.
A lot less hunting.

A tidy, human-picked collection for the small jobs that interrupt your day — share a file, clean a PDF, inspect JSON, or make something presentable.

Try “PDF”, “privacy”, “JSON”, or “background”.

Why these 24?

Small list. Higher signal.

ToolHub is deliberately edited, not scraped. Every listing should solve a clear task, work in a modern browser and be understandable before you click away.

  1. 01
    Browser first

    Useful without forcing an install.

  2. 02
    Clear purpose

    One sentence should explain the value.

  3. 03
    Respectful by default

    No deceptive downloads or mystery links.
