Find tools by who you are
Three kinds of people, one directory.
How it works
From overwhelmed to in-class by Monday.
Three steps. No demo calls, no sales reps, no algorithmic noise.
- 01
Pick the task.
Browse categories that match the work that eats your evenings — lesson plans, grading, content, tutors, study, browser tools.
- 02
Compare in 30 seconds.
Each tool gets a one-line tagline, pros & cons, pricing, and a real "use this when…" so you skip the marketing fluff.
- 03
Try it Monday.
Direct links to free tiers and trials. We surface the friction (account walls, pricing tiers, classroom limits) before you click.

From the inbox
Notes our readers actually send us.
“I went from four hours of Sunday lesson prep to forty-five minutes. class6x is the only newsletter I read end-to-end.”
“I send class6x to my daughter every Sunday. She's started using NotebookLM for AP Bio and Grammarly for her essays — and stopped pasting her homework into ChatGPT.”
“Finally a directory that doesn't treat students like cheaters. The 'use this when' lines tell me when an AI tool is honest help vs. when I'm just outsourcing my brain.”
