This tool streamlines interview prep for podcasters and other content creators by consolidating show details, guest bios, and questions into a single organized workspace.

Having all your prep and live notes in one place keeps interviews running smoothly while making show note creation effortless after recording.
A free and ad-free tier list maker. Supports up to 50 images, portrait or square, features editable tier labels and removable tiers, and export options.
A handy, all-in-one color toolkit designed specifically for creators, bloggers, and podcasters who want their work to look good without needing a background in design.

Can't remember if you already covered a specific topic in the back catalogue of your podcast? Or just can't remember which episode it was? Feed Scout does the work for you.

Does Cynthia have my Jane Eyre or was it Sarah? Did I let Christopher borrow Ronia, the Robber's Daughter? If you're asking yourself questions like these, let Book Loan Buddy help you quickly and easily track who's got what. For free!
Got a mental list of titles you want to add to your physical library? Or a checklist note in your phone? Booklist Buddy helps you level up basic lists by including edition details and more in a searchable book wishlist so you can focus on the collecting.
This is not the place where you just willy-nilly add to an ever-growing list of "books I might want to get to at some point in my life." There are plenty of other tools for that. TBR List Buddy is a next-up queue of the books that you are definitely going to read in the next few months. It's capped at 24 titles to keep you focused. Think playlist for your next reads.
Need a tool to help you check your podcast episode show notes or blog posts for broken links? Let Link Scout check your Blogger, WordPress, Squarespace, or other blog for dead links or ones that have been redirected so you can keep your content as relevant as the day you published it.
Ever draft a social post only to realize it's 200 characters over the limit for half the places you want to share it? PostPrepFile solves that by letting you write once and check it against character limits for fifteen platforms at a time: Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, X, Bluesky, Reddit, Goodreads, and more. Includes a live countdown so you know exactly where you stand. Write a master draft, send it to whichever platforms you're posting to, tweak as needed, and copy it all out when you're ready to go.
If you record podcasts live-to-drive, or frequently host livestreams, finding a reliable soundboard app can be a headache. My experience was abandoned Android apps, ad-crammed junk, and buggy or overpriced Windows tools. So I built my own. It runs on desktop and tablet with zero lag, so you can route it straight into a mixer or interface. It's got fade in/out (with a custom start point), loop, per-clip volume, 72 pads across 3 banks, color-coding, and full save/export so you can keep separate boards for different shows. Light/dark mode plus a couple of skins if you want a different vibe. Everything's stored locally in your browser; no ads, no account, no server, no subscription.
Avid readers, this one is for you. ReadingRecs is a data-driven recommendation engine that matches you with your next great read using personalized logic instead of AI guesswork. Simply seed it with your Goodreads history, StoryGraph export, ISBNs, or favorite titles, then fine-tune results by genre, mood, publication year, and format. It automatically filters out books you've already read to deliver 10 tailored, highly relevant book suggestions every time.
Want to share your podcast or audio drama on YouTube? Upload your audio, square cover art or 16:9 thumbnail, and an optional transcript, and Wave2Reel turns them into an MP4 with a moving waveform and synced captions. No watermarks, no monthly limits, and your files never leave your computer.
Tired of shipping episodes tagged "Track 01" with no cover art? Sound Tagger cleans up your MP3 and WAV files right in your browser: show and episode info, Apple-ready cover art, and chapters, a whole season at a time. It even checks your artwork for spec compliance and fixes it with a click. Free, no sign-up, and your files never leave your device.
