Goblin Tools is a free suite of single-purpose AI utilities built for neurodivergent users, though anyone dealing with overwhelm will find them useful. The flagship tool, Magic ToDo, takes any task and breaks it into manageable steps at adjustable levels of detail. Other tools in the set handle tone rewriting (Formalizer), emotional subtext reading (Judge), plain-language explanations (Professor), decision support (Consultant), time estimation (Estimator), braindump organization (Compiler), and recipe creation from what you have on hand (Chef). The tools are deliberately simple, each doing one thing without requiring accounts, sign-ups, or payment. The web app runs in any browser and companion mobile apps for iOS and Android let you use them on the go. Purchases of the mobile app support keeping the web version free. Goblin Tools became a go-to recommendation in ADHD, autism, and executive dysfunction communities because it treats cognitive differences as design constraints rather than edge cases. The task breakdown tool in particular resonates with users who know what they need to do but struggle to start. Users on Reddit and the Asana community forum have called it one of the most practically useful AI applications for day-to-day life.

What the community says

Goblin Tools earns strong affection in ADHD and neurodivergent communities on Reddit, where it regularly appears in recommendation threads alongside apps like Focusmate and Body Doubling tools. Users praise its zero-friction approach: no account needed, no paywall, no upsell. The Magic ToDo breakdown is the most-loved feature, with users describing it as genuinely reducing the mental barrier to starting tasks. Criticism is minimal but includes the obvious limitation that AI outputs require judgment, not blind execution. A small number of users note the design looks dated. Overall community reception is unusually positive for a free tool. Based on Reddit discussions in r/ADHD, r/neurodivergent, and r/productivity.
