2. A way to find a free sports court or pitch nearby, right now
Padel, tennis, basketball, five-a-side. Show what's free in the next hour near me and how to book it, in one place instead of five different club sites.
3. A tool that turns one long video into three shorts with captions
Find the best moments, cut them to vertical, add readable captions in my own style, and let me adjust before posting. I spend more time editing than creating.
4. A portfolio builder that doesn't look like a template
Every site builder ends up looking the same. Give me a few strong layouts for showing images and case studies, and let me change spacing and type without touching code.
6. Notes that sync across devices without an account
Fast, plain notes that stay on my own devices and sync between them. Pair two devices once with a QR code, no sign-up and no company reading them. Export is just text files. A recovery phrase is the only "password".
9. A tool that explains my bank statement in plain language
Strange names and codes next to payments. Tell me what each line probably is (a shop, a subscription, a fee), flag anything I seem to pay twice, and let me correct it when it's wrong.
10. A plain-language summary of any terms and conditions before I click accept
Not a legal opinion. Just: what data do they take, can they change the price, how do I leave, and what's unusual compared to similar services? Shown before I accept, on any site.
12. Split costs with housemates without everyone installing the same app
Send a link, everyone adds what they paid, and it works out who owes whom. No accounts, no app installs, and a simple way to settle up at the end of the month.
An app that allows us to update our ice-cream flavours on the digital displays in real time. At the moment, it’s still quite a faff for us to do this via third parties, but an app that lets us connect to the screens and update the displays ourselves would be brilliant.
Whenever I want to post something on Instagram for my business, I find that I want to include a new caption or quote every time, but I often run out of fresh ideas. When I ask Chat for suggestions, I get 10 standard replies, 8 of which I don’t like and the other 2 I’ve already used several times. So I’m looking for something that provides personalised descriptions for my business.
15. A pull request explainer that writes what changed in plain language
Big pull requests are hard to review. Summarise what changed, what could break, and which files deserve the most attention, so reviewers start in the right place.
17. Medication reminders for older parents that tell the family if a dose is skipped
My mum forgets, and I can't call every day. A very simple reminder on her phone, and a quiet message to me or my sister if she hasn't confirmed by evening. No complicated settings.
Not every call tool has captions, and the ones that do often get names and jargon wrong. A system-wide subtitle layer that works over any call, and that I can switch to my own language.
20. One place to see and cancel all my subscriptions
Streaming, apps, gyms, software trials. I want a list of everything that bills me, when it renews, and a cancel button that actually leads to cancelling, not a maze of pages.
