ThriveLab is a workshop for small, free tools that make everyday life a little lighter.
It started with a simple frustration: so many daily chores on a computer or phone take ten clicks when they should take one. Unzipping a folder of files in Google Drive. Recording a lecture playing in a browser tab. Keeping track of a habit without handing a company your data. Each of these deserves a tool that does one job well, for free, and then gets out of the way.
That is what ThriveLab builds: mini apps. Some are Google Drive and Apps Script helpers, some are Chrome extensions, and mobile apps are next. The platform changes; the idea does not.
What every app promises
- FreeNo trials, no subscriptions, no paywalled "pro" button.
- PrivateNo ads, no tracking. Your files and data stay with you.
- FocusedOne job, done well, with clear instructions.
- Open about dataEvery app has a plain-English privacy policy.
You choose what comes next
The best ideas come from real problems, so the roadmap is public. Add a wish on the wishlist and vote for the ideas you want most. The open wish with the most votes becomes the next app, and you can watch it move from Planned to Building to Shipped.
Keeping it free
There is no company behind ThriveLab selling your attention. Donations pay for developer and store fees, test devices and, most of all, the time to build the next wish. If an app helped you, a coffee via PayPal is the kindest way to say thanks.
