when there’s a deal worth your time. We skip the week when there isn’t.

What you can expect

Four promises. Plain English. We break any of them, you get to ridicule us in public.

Only verified deals

We use the product before we feature it. If we wouldn’t buy in, we don’t cover it. No marketplace listicles, no sponsored slots.

Short and plain

Three-paragraph emails. No clickbait subject. No "you won’t believe", no "limited time only" theatre.

Direct from founders

Submitted by the people who built the software. No affiliate networks, no resellers, no middlemen marking up real lifetime access.

A real human reads replies

No tracking pixels, no bot autoresponders. Reply with a thought, a question, or a roast — you’ll get an actual answer.
