Hey friends!

Quick question before we dive in: how many times have you shared a link in your newsletter, social media, or email campaign, only to wonder if anyone actually clicked it?

Or worse, they clicked, but you have no idea if they signed up, bought something, or just bounced?

I've build ShortPen for exactly this problem.

Instead of just seeing "XX clicks" like with basic link shorteners, ShortPen showed you the complete customer journey.

Game-changer for anyone serious about measuring what actually matters.

So if you want to try it, I have created a really generous free plan. You have no excuse.

Buuut now let's continue with today's tools!

What Will You Find Today?

  • 5 Tools of the Week

  • Some Lifetime Deals I found this week (pay once and keep forever)

1. Promptmonitor - Get your Brand Mentioned by AI

PromptMonitor shows you how often tools like ChatGPT or Claude mention your business when someone asks for suggestions in your space.

It’s a bit like what Ahrefs does for Google, just built for AI.

You’ll see how visible you are, which competitors get more mentions, and what types of content these assistants tend to bring up.

🎯 Who is it ideal for?

Marketers, business owners, and SEO professionals.

💰 How much does it cost?

Free plan: ✅

Paid plans: from $99/month

2. Flowstep - Create UI and Wireframes with AI

FlowStep helps you bring complex UI ideas to life by simply describing them in everyday language.

Say something like “a dashboard showing my crypto balance with quick-trade buttons,” and just like that, you’ll see clean wireframes, polished mockups, and full user flows, without ever opening a design tool.

🎯 Who is it ideal for?

UX/UI designers, web developers, and marketing professionals.

💰 How much does it cost?

Free plan: ✅

3. Peek - Understand your Spending with AI

Peek helps you feel more in control of your money by quietly keeping track of what you spend and sending you simple weekly check-ins that are easy to understand.

No spreadsheets, no stress. Just helpful insights that point out habits you might not notice, like how much you spend on Ubers when mornings get rushed.

🎯 Who is it ideal for?

Young professionals, freelancers, and anyone with ADHD who finds traditional budgeting apps overwhelming.

💰 How much does it cost?

Free plan: ✅

4. Paste - Clipboard Manager for Mac, iPhone, and iPad

Paste turns your plain old clipboard into something way more useful, a full history of everything you’ve copied, right there when you need it.

It works across all your Apple devices, so whether you’re switching between your laptop and iPhone or just trying to find that line of code from earlier, it’s all there and easy to get back to.

You can copy multiple things, hold onto them all, and paste them in whatever order makes sense.

And if you’re working with a team, shared pinboards keep everyone on the same page without the constant back-and-forth of asking for the same info twice.

🎯 Who is it ideal for?

Developers, content creators, and customer support teams.

💰 How much does it cost?

Free plan: ❌

Paid plans: from $3.99/month

5. Invoicely - Open Source Invoice Generator

Invoicely takes something most people dread, creating invoices, and makes it surprisingly quick and painless.

It’s open-source, which means you’re in control, and it gives you just what you need to build clean, professional invoices without signing up for yet another paid service.

You can add your logo, break down your pricing with clear line items, and export it all with solid formatting that actually looks good.

🎯 Who is it ideal for?

Freelancers, small business owners, and consultants.

💰 How much does it cost?

Completely free.
