Free to use
The useful part stays on the useful side of a paywall.
Support bluecatA useful little corner of the internet
bluecat is a growing shelf of free, thoughtfully-made utilities for everyday digital friction. Use what helps. If it saves you time, you can buy me a coffee.
Built for real friction
Each tool starts with a small, familiar annoyance.
Supported, not gated
If something saves you time, you can help fund the next one.
Useful by design, free to use, and built to get out of the way.
Tool shelf
The shelf is getting ready.
The first Bluecat utilities are still on the workbench. This is where every free tool will live when it's ready to use.

Text & files
Quick ways to clean, compare, convert, and move information around.

Web helpers
Small browser tools for the fiddly jobs that should take one click.
03Soon
Tiny automations
Useful shortcuts for repetitive work, without the heavyweight setup.
One home for useful things — no hunting through bookmarks or old links. New tools will simply appear here.
Notes from the workbench
Ideas, decisions, and the occasional useful detour.
Short notes on building small software, removing friction, and why a focused tool can still make a big difference.
Why small tools deserve good homes
The best utility is often the one that does one awkward job, explains itself clearly, and gets out of your way.
First note coming soonKeep the shelf growing
Useful first. Supportable second.
Every Bluecat tool will be free to use. If one gives you a little time back, you'll be able to fund the next useful idea with the price of a coffee.
