Launching Toollytics — Why Simplicity Matters

As founders, Sumuditha Lansakara and Devthini Jayawardana, we created Toollytics because we were tired of overcomplicated apps that tried to do too much. We wanted something simple: a collection of simple web tools that do one thing, do it well, and don't ask for anything in return. Our focus is on privacy-focused tools and no sign-up tools.

The Problem with Modern Web Tools

Many tools today are full of distractions: pop-ups, paywalls, ads, and forced logins. Even basic tools sometimes require an account. This adds friction and slows you down.

Our Approach to Simple Web Tools

Toollytics is built around one simple idea: keep things simple.

Every tool we build is:

• Frontend-only — nothing is saved on a server
• No login required — ever
• Minimal UI — easy to use on any device
• Clean design — no ads (unless clearly labeled), no clutter

Design Philosophy at Toollytics

A minimalist workspace with a laptop and notepad, symbolizing Toollytics' clean design philosophy for its simple web tools.

We put a lot of thought into the details. We test our privacy-focused tools on slow devices, small screens, and different internet speeds. If something feels slow or confusing, we redesign it.

Code Example

Here's a simple example of how we keep our code clean:

// Simple, focused function
function calculatePercentage(value: number, total: number): number {
  return (value / total) * 100;
}

// Usage in our budget tool
const expenses = 1500;
const income = 5000;
const expenseRatio = calculatePercentage(expenses, income); // 30%

Our Long-Term Goal for Toollytics

We want Toollytics to be a place where you can find helpful, no sign-up tools without worrying about privacy, complexity, or cost. Whether you're planning your budget with Planned or creating a quick chart with ChartEase, the tool should help you — not get in your way.

Roadmap

That's the vision from Sumuditha Lansakara and Devthini Jayawardana. And this is just the beginning for Toollytics and its suite of simple web tools.
