We make simple, uncluttered tools that work well on mobile devices. As the internet grows more bent on cramming ads into every open space, we want to establish sites that do one job, and do it well, with room to breathe. We know the frustration of looking for a quick tool, like a Tip Calculator or Rep Counter, and either being barraged by ads and pleas to subscribe, or pushed to install an app for what can be accomplished with a few lines of code. There are some amazing labors of love out there, like calculator.net, but they're a rarity. And many sites lack the support for mobile-friendlyness, or intuitive design. Our aim to is to include the bare minimum required to support our sites; we're hoping a single, non-interfering ad on some of our pages is enough. Even this text, while heartfelt and written by an actual human, is here to support the requirements of the cleanest ad-provider we could find. In an era where we expect sites to push the boundaries of tolerable, we're going to constantly add value and decrease cruft. We're focusing on a few important categories, but our breadth of content doesn't really matter when you're looking for one specific thing; we're not out to increase your time here or lead you through a maze of pages.
We're starting with a few financial tools, like a Mortgage Calculator and a Simple Interest Calculator. There are lots of great alternatives, and AI continues to improve in meeting us through helpful conversations. But this is a realm where we're often bouncing between resources, quickly looking up things during a phone call, or trying to make a quick comparison. This is where ToolStandards shines - find the right calculator without wading through content or squashing ads, do the work, move along.
It's harder and harder to find standalone health tools that aren't part of a pushy subscription service or marketing questionable supplements. And holistic is ideal, but sometimes, outside of shopping for a gym or closing your rings, you just need to know how many calories you burned on a walk, or what your BMI is. We're here for that.
Teachers are often displaying websites onto their classroom smartboards, and while they've vetted the main content, the ads and surrounding junk don't help the experience. Our Early Education tools are provided ad-free.
