JustSimple.tools – A Curated Directory of Simple Tools for Indie Hackers

As indie hackers, makers, and developers, we all share a common pain: too many tools, too much noise.

Sometimes, you don’t need a bloated SaaS with a hundred features.

Sometimes, you just want a simple, minimal, no-BS tool that solves your problem.

That’s the idea behind JustSimple.tools – a curated directory of lightweight, no-frills tools for indie hackers, developers, and creators.

Why “Just Simple”?

I’ve been building indie projects for a while, and I noticed that:

  • I waste hours testing tools that promise a lot but deliver little.
  • I often need something fast, clean, and distraction-free.
  • Many “all-in-one” platforms are overkill when I just need one feature.

So I started collecting tools that are minimalist by design — and that’s how JustSimple.tools was born.

Think of it as your personal toolbox, but without the noise.


What You’ll Find

The directory is constantly growing, but here’s a taste of what you’ll discover:

  • AI Utilities → background removers, text-to-favicon, image enhancers
  • Developer Helpers → JSON prettifiers, regex testers, favicon generators
  • Indie Growth Tools → SEO analyzers, OpenGraph generators, link checkers
  • Design Tools → palette generators, simple logo makers, screenshot beautifiers

Every tool is handpicked for being:

  • Simple to use
  • Minimalist in design
  • Solves one problem really well

Who Is It For?

  • Indie hackers → ship faster with lightweight tools
  • Developers → save time on repetitive tasks
  • Designers & creators → quick resources for branding & visuals
  • Anyone who loves minimalism → tools that don’t get in your way

Whether you’re building your first SaaS or just need a quick favicon for your side project, there’s something for you.


The Vision

This is not just a tool directory — it’s a philosophy:

  • Build small
  • Keep it simple
  • Focus on what matters

I believe simple tools can help makers stay productive and creative without drowning in complexity.

I’ll keep expanding the list, and hopefully it becomes a go-to place whenever you think:

“I don’t need another big SaaS. I just need something simple.”


Final Thoughts

In a world where every startup wants to be an “all-in-one solution,” I think there’s beauty in being “just simple.”

That’s why I built JustSimple.tools — and I hope it saves you time, reduces friction, and inspires you to build simple things too.
