About Push Tools
Free business tools for founders, marketers, and anyone building something online.
The idea
Starting or running a small business online means hunting for a dozen little tools every week. A store name generator. A privacy policy generator. A schema validator. A margin calculator. An invoice PDF. Most of them live on page two of Google, on sites covered in ads and “upgrade to Pro” upsells, behind a signup, with a watermark on the output.
Push Tools is the other end of that. Business-adjacent tools, built to do one job well, free to use without an account.
Who's building it
Hi, I'm Tommy. I'm building Push Tools as a public experiment — how fast can one person take a free tools site from zero to 100,000 monthly visitors, and turn it into a real business?
Everything's public: the tools shipped, the SEO experiments that worked, the ones that didn't, the analytics, the revenue (if and when), the stuff I get wrong. Part of the point is showing the working — which tools rank, which don't, which sponsor partnerships land, which don't.
If build-in-public is your thing, follow along on X.
Our rule
If it's free or low cost to serve, we'll build it and give it to you free.
No signup. No login. No trial countdown. No watermark on your output. Open the page, use the tool, get on with your day.
What we're building
Generators, calculators, validators, and converters for founders, marketers, e-commerce sellers, and anyone running a small business online. Think business name generators, schema and sitemap validators, invoice and margin calculators, QR codes, privacy policy generators, and the long tail of one-job-well utilities every business builder bookmarks and reuses.

How we pay for it
Sponsor placements on tools where they're genuinely useful to what you just did — finished generating store names, here's a domain registrar. Clearly marked, relevant to the tool, and only shown when the fit is right. If a sponsor doesn't fit, we don't run one.
A handful of tools cost real money to run (paid APIs, heavy storage, real-time data). For those, we may add a sensible paid tier later. The free versions of the cheap-to-serve tools stay free — that part doesn't change.
Suggest a tool
The best tool ideas so far have come from people telling me “is there a tool that does X?” and me going away and building it. If you've got one — a calculator, a generator, a converter, a checker — send it via the contact form or DM me on X. If it's broadly useful and cheap enough to host, it'll get built.
