Why The ToolBolt exists
New AI tools appear every day — in tweets, reels, newsletters and GitHub trending. Most lists stop at a name and a link. The hard part is everything after: Is it free? How do I install it? What do I actually type to get value from it?
The ToolBolt is a free, curated directory that answers those questions. Every entry tells you:
- What it is and what problem it solves
- Where it lives — the official website, repository and docs
- How to install it, with commands you can copy
- How to use it, with a real example
- What it costs, and whether it's open source
What you'll find here
AI models and chat assistants, coding agents and editors, Claude Code skills and plugins, MCP servers, CLI tools, agents and automation, image, video and audio generators, design tools, ways to run AI locally or for free, and learning resources.
Tools with a GitHub repository show live star counts, the date of the last commit, and an Active badge when they're actively maintained — so you can tell a thriving project from an abandoned one at a glance.
How tools are chosen
Every tool is reviewed before it's published. Links are checked, descriptions are kept factual rather than promotional, and tools that shut down are removed rather than left to rot.
A listing is not an endorsement or a sponsorship — nobody pays to be listed, and there are no affiliate links.
Contributing
Anyone can add a tool: sign in with GitHub, then use Submit a tool — a form with a live preview of how the listing will look. Every submission goes to an admin for review and only appears on the site once it's approved; you can follow its status and fix it while it's pending on your account page. Published tools credit the contributor by name, with a link to their profile.
Rather not sign in? You can also suggest a tool or report something outdated through the contact form.
Who's behind it
The ToolBolt is designed, built and curated by @MTahir27 — see more work on the developer portfolio. It's free for everyone, with no account needed to browse — and it will stay that way.
