I started The Chill List — a lazy scroll of software tools that just work (or just look awesome)

The internet is drowning in “Top 100 Tools That Will Change Your Life” lists.
Half the time they feel like they’re written by a robot that’s trying to sell me a subscription and a philosophy. Mind you I could be ABSOLUTELY wrong but that's how I've been feeling lately.

I wanted the opposite. No hype. No jargon. No “bro, this is a game-changer.”

So I did a fun little side project and made The Chill List — a laid-back collection of software tools I either:

Use regularly and genuinely like, or

Haven’t tried yet, but loved what I saw in demos, write-ups, or binge-watched on YouTube at 1 AM while eating cereal

It’s literally just:

“Hey, this seems cool. Check it out if you want.”

Oh, and because I’m a nocode nerd (and a nocode consultant by day), of course I built it using nocode. That’s why the URL is thechilllist.softr.app — which, yes, is peak nocode energy. Why buy a domain when you can just flex your subdomain skills?

The rules are simple:

No complicated rating systems

No fake urgency

Just a scrollable page of tools that look or are genuinely useful

Yes, there are affiliate links. Snacks aren’t free.

The vibe:

“Oh neat, I might try that.”

“This is worth a bookmark.”

Not: “If you don’t use this tool right now, you’ll be irrelevant by Thursday.”

If that sounds like your speed, you can peek at it here: thechilllist.softr.app

And if you’ve got a favorite tool you think belongs on there, send it my way. It might make the cut — as long as it passes the highly scientific “Would I actually use this?” or “Did the YouTube video make me smile?” test.

P.S. I’m not charging for listings right now… but you know, never say never. If inflation keeps up, I might start accepting payment in snacks.

Because sometimes, the best thing you can do for your productivity is enjoy the scroll.
