What is toolcradle?

ToolCradle started with a weekend and a question:
“What if there was a no-fluff place to discover tools that actually work?”

I wasn’t trying to build the next big tech brand. I just wanted a clean space to explore, write, and share honest takes on software and tech tools — the kind you actually use, not the ones trending for a week and disappearing.

This site is a solo project. I’m an engineer by background and a curious builder by habit. ToolCradle is where I test tools, write what I learn, and try to make sense of the noise — one product at a time.

You won’t find long-winded tutorials or recycled sales pitches here. If a tool’s good, I’ll tell you why. If it’s overrated, I’ll call it out. Simple as that.

What you’ll find here:

  • Reviews based on real use

  • Comparisons that actually help you decide

  • Tools across tech, AI, and finance — with a bias toward usefulness

If you’ve ever wasted hours trying to figure out which platform to use for something simple, you’ll probably feel at home here.

Thanks for reading — hope you find something worth trying.
