Our story

We ❤️ tools and apps. For real! I think I’ve tested and used a few hundred of them over the years. When someone is looking for a software tool for a specific purpose, I’m often the one they ask, text, or call. And I actually really enjoy that.

But it might be even more fun to create a sort of online archive of these tools. I test them anyway, so this actually fits well here. I might as well write a piece about them or record something. That’s exactly the reason ToolGuide was created.

Together with Willem, we test away. Well-known tools, but also definitely lesser-known tools and apps. Not just from companies with investors, but also from independent developers and indie makers. Maybe that’s even more fun!

If you want to share something, you can always get in touch. We’d love to take a look!
