Apps & Tools

Read this first — the ground moves fast.

AI isn’t a product category anymore; it’s weather. New models drop, APIs mutate, pricing flips, and yesterday’s “must-have” turns into a footnote by Tuesday. That speed is a gift if you ride it and a tax if you chase it. The Vault exists so you don’t chase. It’s a living shortlist of tools that actually compound your output: create faster, launch cleaner, and monetize without duct tape.

How to stay ahead without burning out? First, pick lanes. You don’t need every tool; you need one great tool per job and permission to swap when the job changes. Second, build a repeatable cycle: test on Friday, ship on Monday, review monthly. Third, keep money rails simple—getting paid shouldn’t be a side quest.

Non-negotiables right now:

• Creation — visuals and video on command. Choose your fit: Leonardo or Midjourney for images; Runway or Luma for video; ElevenLabs for voiceovers.
• Launch — a site builder you can ship with: Webflow or Framer, plus checkout via Gumroad or Systeme.io.
• Growth — email that compounds: beehiiv or MailerLite. Track CTR and conversion, not vanity.
• Money — clean rails. For fiat, Revolut or Wise. For crypto, a top exchange and a self-custody wallet.
• Ops sanity — versioned assets and a weekly “kill the dead tabs” ritual.

Why we built this page: you’re busy making. We’re busy curating. No 50-item grocery lists—just what works, with short notes on when to use it and when to switch. You’ll see three main sections: Creator Lab (design/media/AI), Launchpad (web, funnels, checkout), and Growth Engine (email and monetization). There’s also Money Rails for payments, and a Crypto Hub for the brave and the curious. Some links are affiliate; it doesn’t change your price, but it helps fund more builds, templates, and tutorials.

How to use the Vault: pick a goal (“ship a landing page”, “package a template”, “spin up a newsletter”), then take one tool from each column—creation, launch, growth, money—and sprint for seven days. If a tool slows you down, swap it. If a tool disappears or hikes prices, we’ll flag a replacement.

We want this to be a two-way build. If you’ve found a tool that saves hours, or you’re stuck choosing between platforms, tell us. If a recommendation ages out, hold us accountable—we’ll update the list, test new contenders, and keep the stack lean.
