Goblin Tools is a set of small AI-based tools, each doing one simple job. The best known is Magic ToDo: write a big task like "tidy the room" and it splits it into smaller steps that are easy to start. The other tools follow the same idea, such as rewriting a message in a chosen tone, checking the tone of a text and estimating how long tasks take. Its main purpose is to help people for whom starting or organizing work is hard, especially people with ADHD and other neurodivergent minds.
What is Goblin Tools good for?#
- Breaking down big tasks: a student splits "write the paper" into small steps to make starting easier.
- Time estimates: get a rough sense of how long each step takes.
- Adjusting message tone: rewrite a message in a more formal or friendlier voice.
- Understanding the tone of a text: paste a message you received to see what feeling it carries.
- Everyday planning: turn household chores or a shopping trip into a tidy list.
- Simplifying complex text: make a long passage easier to read.
Strengths and weaknesses#
Strengths:
- Simple; each tool does one thing.
- Free, ad-free web version.
- Adjustable level of step detail.
- Designed with neurodivergent minds in mind.
Weaknesses:
- The AI sometimes suggests unsuitable or irrelevant steps.
- Quality is weaker outside English.
- No project management or reminders; it only produces a text plan.
- Not a substitute for therapy or counseling.
Free version and pricing#
The web version is free. The mobile apps may cost a small amount, listed in your app store. Check there or on the official site for current details.
Language support#
Because the tools rely on a language model, input in other languages is accepted, but output quality is lower than in English. We have no confirmed information on access from Iran, so it is listed as unknown.
