Every tool lives at [/tools](https://www.revquix.com/tools), and each one also has its own page at
`/tools/<name>`. **Tools ▾** in the top navigation opens the same catalogue.

## Three categories

- [Resume & Profile](https://www.revquix.com/tools/category/resume) - Analysing, rewriting and building a resume, plus the tools around applying.

- [Money & Tax](https://www.revquix.com/tools/category/money) - Indian salary, tax and invoicing calculators.

- [Developer](https://www.revquix.com/tools/category/developer) - Everyday utilities - JSON, JWT, regex, diffs, encodings.

Each category has its own hub page listing everything in it. The ordering inside a category is
editorial rather than alphabetical - the first few are the ones most people want.

## A tool's page, and where it runs

Some tools have two surfaces, and it is worth knowing which you are on.

|               | `/tools/<name>`                                         | `/dashboard/tools/<name>` |
| ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------- |
| What it is    | the public page - what the tool does, a worked sample   | the tool itself           |
| Sign-in       | not required to read                                    | required                  |
| Runs anything | free tools do; credit tools show you what you would get | yes                       |

**Free tools run right there on their public page.** Every calculator and every developer utility is
fully usable at `/tools/<name>` with no account and no redirect.

**Credit-backed tools split.** The public page is a real explanation with a sample result, and the
run happens in the dashboard, because it spends credits and needs an account. Opening one signed out
shows you what it produces before asking you to sign in.

## Finding one quickly

`⌘K` anywhere on the site (`Ctrl K` on Windows and Linux) opens
the command palette. Typing a tool's name jumps straight to it, which is faster than the hub once you
know what you want.

## Tools marked "Soon"

A few entries in the catalogue are listed before they exist. They are real pages rather than dead
links - they explain what the tool will do, and offer a **Notify me** field.

> **Note** - Why they are listed at all
>
> Listing the whole catalogue from the start means nothing ever links to a page that is not there, and
> the sign-up on a Soon page tells us which tools people actually want before we build them. They are
> kept out of search results, so nobody arrives at one from Google expecting a working tool.
