What it does
Most tools tell you your idea is great. FoundersChecker doesn't. Paste your business idea and get back real competitors, local market reality, relevant regulations, and a hard verdict: Proceed, Pivot, or Kill It. It automatically detects your country so the analysis is relevant to where you're actually launching. No signup required. Free to try. Full report $5. Built for founders who want honest feedback, not encouragement.
Your friends think it's brilliant. We'll tell you if it's a real business. Brutal honest AI feedback on your business idea.
Describe your idea. Get an honest analysis in under a minute. We automatically detect your country so the market reality, competitors, and risks are relevant to where you operate. Then a hard verdict: Proceed, Pivot, or Kill It. Four plain-English questions. What it is, who pays, how it makes money, and your edge. Two minutes, no pitch deck needed. We check the market, name actual competitors, find the three most likely failure modes, and give you a plain verdict. No softening. The free report shows the verdict and top risks. The full $5 report adds competitor deep-dive, pivot recommendation, and more. When you ask any AI tool about your idea, it finds something positive to say. Not because…from founderschecker.com

The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!

Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
