About
Goblin Tools is a thoughtfully designed collection of simple AI-powered micro-tools built to assist people—especially those with ADHD, autism, anxiety, or executive function challenges—in managing day-to-day tasks that can feel daunting. Rather than a single monolithic app, it provides a suite of focused utilities, each solving one specific problem exceptionally well. The flagship tool, Magic ToDo, uses AI to break large, overwhelming to-do items into smaller, manageable steps. Formalizer transforms the tone of any text, making casual writing more professional (or vice versa). Judge reads a piece of text and interprets its emotional tone—useful for understanding how a message might be received. Taskmaster helps users focus on one task at a time without distraction. Professor explains any topic in plain, accessible language. Consultant helps users make decisions by weighing options. Estimator guesses how long an activity will take. Compiler takes a brain dump of scattered thoughts and turns them into structured action items. Chef generates recipes from a list of available ingredients. Goblin Tools is entirely free to use and is funded through community support via Ko-Fi and Patreon. It is available as a web app and has dedicated mobile apps for both Android and iOS, making it accessible wherever you need it.
