About MikesTools.io

MikesTools.io is a showcase of free developer tools, utilities, and applications — the stuff Mike makes to solve real, everyday problems.

Most of the tools here started the same way: a small annoyance that came up often enough to be worth fixing properly. Rather than letting them sit on a hard drive, they are collected here, documented, and made available for anyone who runs into the same problem.

What you'll find

The catalog spans several kinds of software, including:

Each tool has its own page with a description of what it does, why it was built, how to install it, and where to get it.

Beyond the tools

The blog collects dev notes — the thinking, mistakes, and lessons behind the projects. The homepage also highlights what is currently being worked on, so you can follow along as new tools take shape.

Why it's free

The tools are free to use. The site is supported by unobtrusive advertising, which keeps everything available at no cost. See the Privacy Policy for details on advertising and analytics.
