What it does
I'm a designer. Tired of paywalls every time I needed a barcode, a QR code with a logo, or a clean SVG export. Tired of "free" tools that lock the one feature you actually need. So I built the version I always wanted. 5 tools: QR Generator, Barcode Studio, SVG Cleaner, Data Formatter, WiFi Cards. You can request more! No account. No watermark. No tiers. Free for everyone, always.
Free tools for designers and developers. A 3D file converter (STL, OBJ, STEP, GLTF), QR codes, barcodes, GIF optimizer, SVG cleaner, data formatter, WiFi cards, and a link shortener. No paywalls, no watermarks, free forever.
Free. No sign-ups, no locked features, almost nothing tracked. Use it and go. If it saved you time, pass it on. I'm a designer. I use these tools every day. And I got tired of hitting a paywall every time I needed an SVG, a barcode, or a QR code with a logo on it. Tired of sketchy sites with pop-ups and hidden download buttons. Tired of tools that are "free" until you actually need something useful. So I built the version I always wanted. One honest exception. The link shortener is the only tool here that keeps any data. It has to store your link to redirect it, and it briefly logs a hashed IP, auto-deleted within 48 hours, purely to block spam and phishing. That is the only data any tool…from thattoolshouldbefree.com

Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
