Free Online Tools
Apps Built Right Tools is a free collection of small, browser-based utility tools built for quick everyday tasks. No sign-up, no installation, and nothing you type is ever sent to a server. The collection currently includes a Word Counter & Reading Time Calculator, a Slug Generator, and a Distance Calculator, with more tools planned. Each one runs entirely as JavaScript in your own browser, so results appear instantly as you type and your input never leaves your device. Pick a tool below to get started. Every tool is completely free to use, with no account, no hidden limits, and no ads gating the results.

Turn any title into a clean, URL-friendly slug.
Word Counter & Reading Time Estimator

How these tools work

- Enter your text, title, or location. Most tools update results instantly; the Distance Calculator has a Calculate button since it looks up places online.
- Copy or read your result. Nothing you enter is saved or sent to a server, except place names looked up by the Distance Calculator.
