Enjoying Mike’s work?

Why does Mike offer these tools for free?

I believe useful tools should be available to everyone, regardless of income. As AI and other changes reshape work, people may lose jobs or face financial uncertainty. Access to practical tools should not depend on having money to spare.

People can help one another by making more services freely accessible. Mike Freeify is my contribution toward that goal, and I plan to keep expanding its collection of free tools wherever I can. If you choose to buy me a coffee, thank you—using these tools never depends on a contribution.

Help Mike continue this work by buying him a coffee.

Contributions are optional. These tools are free to use, with or without a donation. Each tool’s file and browser limits still apply.
