Meet the Zooly Friends
These humans keep the zoo running. They support ToolZool by buying Zooly a coffee, and the tools stay free for everyone else.
How it works
The Friends wall
0 friends so far
Nobody is on the wall yet. When the first Friend opts in, their name appears here exactly as they wrote it — we do not invent supporters to make the page look busier.
Become a Zooly Friend
Support Zooly, and take a spot on this page if you want one.
Payments are not connected yet, so the coffee page explains where things stand rather than taking your money.
What Zooly Friends are
People who bought Zooly a coffee. If they wanted to be named, their name is on the wall; if they did not, nothing about them is published anywhere. Both help exactly the same amount, because the coffee is the point and the wall is a thank-you.
Why supporting helps
Coffees pay for hosting, for the processing engine behind each tool, and for the next tool in the queue. ToolZool is not venture funded and has no paid tier, so there is no plan where the free version gets worse to make a paid one look better.
What a supporter gets
Recognition, and nothing else — deliberately. No extra tools, no higher limits, no priority queue. A tool that worked better for people who paid would not be a free tool with a tip jar; it would be a paid tool with a demo.
Consent
Name, avatar, message, website, social profile and country are each optional and off by default. Supporting anonymously publishes nothing about you at all. Anything you do publish can be changed or removed by asking, without explaining why.
Thanks to you,
ToolZool stays free
Powerful tools should be free for everyone. Here is how that is paid for — all of it, with nothing left off the list.
