Who's Behind This?

Michael

Founder & Lead Writer

Software engineer with 5+ years of experience building web applications and exploring productivity systems. After years of testing dozens of tools — from Notion to Obsidian, from Pomodoro to GTD — I decided to document what actually works and share it with others.

Our Story

New Daily Tools started in 2025 as a personal project. I was frustrated with the typical "Top 10 Best Apps" articles that are clearly sponsored or barely scratched the surface. I wanted a resource that offered genuine, in-depth reviews based on real usage — not press releases.

What started as a blog quickly grew to include free online tools. I noticed that many productivity concepts (like the Eisenhower Matrix or Pomodoro Technique) lacked good, free, no-signup-required web apps. So I built them. Every tool on this site is free, works in your browser, and respects your privacy — no accounts, no tracking, no data stored on servers.

Our Values

  • Honesty over sponsorships — We don't accept payment for reviews. If a tool has problems, we'll tell you.
  • Depth over quantity — We'd rather publish one comprehensive 2,000-word guide than five shallow listicles.
  • Privacy first — Our tools run entirely in your browser. Your data never leaves your device.
  • Free and accessible — Every tool on this site works without sign-up, without payment, on any device.

What We Cover

  • Productivity Methods — Deep dives into Pomodoro, GTD, time blocking, the Eisenhower Matrix, and more. Not just theory — step-by-step implementation guides with real examples.
  • App Reviews & Comparisons — Honest, hands-on comparisons of tools like Notion vs Obsidian, Todoist vs Things 3, Zapier vs Make. We use each tool for weeks before writing about it.
  • Workspace Optimization — Hardware, ergonomics, home office setups, and the environments that support deep work.
  • Automation & Workflows — Practical guides on automating repetitive tasks with Zapier, Make, Shortcuts, and scripting.
  • Free Online Tools — 20+ browser-based productivity tools built by us: timers, calculators, generators, editors, and more.

How We Review Products

Every product review follows the same process:

  1. Real usage — We use each product in our actual workflow for at least 2 weeks before writing about it.
  2. Feature comparison — We compare features, pricing, and limitations side-by-side with clear tables.
  3. Honest verdict — We recommend the best tool for specific use cases, not the one with the biggest affiliate program.
  4. Regular updates — We revisit articles when products release major updates or change pricing.
