Free, and structurally unable to stop being free
The premium tier,
for free.
Everyday tools with the paywall taken off. No account, no email address, no ads, no trackers. Open a link and use the thing.
The tools
-
Live
Split
split.freeify.dev
Track who paid for what on a trip or in a flatshare, then settle up in the fewest possible transfers. Create a group, share the link — that is the entire sign-up.
Usually paywalled Splitwise meters how many expenses you may log per day and puts multi-currency behind Pro.

Live
Convert
convert.freeify.dev
Images, audio and documents between hundreds of formats. Conversion runs inside your browser, so your files are never uploaded anywhere at all — including to us.
Usually paywalled Online converters cap file size, watermark the output, and put free users in a queue behind paying ones.

Live
QR Code
qrcode.freeify.dev
Codes for links, Wi-Fi networks and contact cards. Static codes that never expire, high error correction, vector SVG and PNG out — all generated on your device.
Usually paywalled Generators sell “dynamic” codes and then expire the free ones — turning a sticker you already printed into a dead link.

What that means in practice
-
No account
No email, no password, no “continue with” anything. Where something has to be remembered, the link itself is the key — you hold it, we can’t sell it, and there is no user table to breach.
-
No ads, no tracking
No analytics scripts, no third-party requests, no consent banner to dismiss. This page loads two stylesheets from this domain and zero lines of JavaScript.
-
No premium tier
Not a promise we could quietly break in eighteen months. Most of these tools run entirely on your device and cost nothing per user, so there is no cost for a paywall to recover.
-
No lock-in
Everything exports in an open format, on demand, at no cost. If Freeify disappears tomorrow you keep your data — and the source stays available to run yourself.
Why these tools
Most consumer software paywalls are not paying for anything. A résumé builder lets you write the whole document and then charges to download it — the work is already done, the marginal cost is zero, and the lock is pure leverage. A bill-splitting app rations how many expenses you may type in per day.
Some paywalls are honest: transcoding a video or running a model genuinely costs the vendor money, and metering follows from that. But that cost is a consequence of where the work runs. Browsers can decode video, run neural networks and read text out of images now. Move the work onto the device that asked for it and the cost disappears — for them and for us.
So the selection rule is simple: take tools whose paywall has no cost basis, or whose cost basis can be deleted by moving the work client-side, and give away the premium tier. Everything here is either a clean-room build or a self-hosted open-source project, run on a single machine that holds nothing else.
