Buy music straight from the artist

Search engine that does not profile you

Encrypted messenger run by a nonprofit

Disposable email for sign-ups you do not trust

Are the McFlurry machines actually working?

A fake 90s television that just plays clips

Where a film or show is actually streaming

Find the clothes characters wear on TV

The song that played in that scene

A new AI face on every refresh

A podcast player with Smart Speed and voice boost

One random pointless site, then another

A cross-platform podcast player with a web app

A photo of someone pointing at your cursor

The wiki of every story trick on screen

A stick-figure comic about science, tech, and people

Satire headlines that look like the real news

Web comics about animals, brains, and being a person

A collaborative library of Creative Commons sound effects you can preview and download

Timed trivia and geography quizzes, from countries of the world to daily trivia

Mix rain, cafe, and other ambient sounds into a focus or sleep soundtrack

Guess when and where a historic photo was taken, then score the year and the map pin

A free browser Pictionary: one player draws a word, everyone else races to guess it

Play cafe-level ambient noise in the browser so a quiet room feels like a coffee shop

Think of a character; the genie asks yes/no questions until it names who you meant

Tap the keyboard and get a different sound and shape each key, looping into a tiny live show

A fake 90s desktop in the browser, with tiny apps, games, and a CRT-era start menu

True random numbers, lists, and drawings generated from atmospheric noise
