Whatly helps you find the right AI tool for whatever you're trying to do — then compare your options, save the ones you like, and keep track of the top AI models. The whole catalog of 200+ tools works offline. FIND THE RIGHT TOOL Describe a task in plain language — "make a photo", "local photo generator", "transcribe audio", "remove a background", "write code" — and Whatly shows the tools that can do it, and matches the filters to what you typed. Or browse 200+ tools across 13 categories. Every tool is tagged so you can decide at a glance: - Cloud or local — use an online service, or run a private app on your own Windows, Linux or Mac - Free, freemium or paid - A direct link to the tool's website or open-source project TAP FOR THE FULL PICTURE Tap any tool to open a detail view with its platforms, pricing, full description, similar alternatives, your private note, and quick actions — all in one place. MAKE A DECISION, NOT JUST A LIST - Compare — pick up to three tools and see them side by side: price, cloud vs local, platforms, and what they do - Similar tools — every tool suggests alternatives, so it's easy to find a free or local option - Sort results by Recommended, Free first, or A–Z - Guided picker — not sure what to search? Answer three quick questions and Whatly narrows it down - Favorites — star any tool to keep it under "My tools" - Notes — jot a private note on any tool, saved on your device - Recently viewed — your last-opened tools are always one tap away - Share — send any tool to a friend with one tap HARDWARE PROFILE Add your computer(s) and Whatly estimates whether each LOCAL tool or model will actually run. Enter RAM, GPU/VRAM, accelerator and OS (presets make it one tap), then see an estimated memory need and a clear verdict on every card and in the details. Add multiple machines, filter to "Fits my hardware", and adjust quantization, context length (up to 256K) and KV-cache precision. It's OS-aware, and when something's too big it suggests a smaller quant that would fit. All estimates are computed on-device — memory only, because real speed depends on your chip. BUILT FOR OFFLINE & PRIVATE USE Turn on "Local / offline only" to focus on tools that run privately on your own device. The full catalog, search, favorites, compare, notes and detail view all work with no connection. No account, no sign-up. There's also a home-screen widget for quick access. MODELS & RANKINGS Switch to the Models tab for the most popular AI models on the Hugging Face Hub — live rankings by trending, downloads or likes, across text, image, vision, speech, voice, video and 3D. Each model shows its size, license, and whether it can run on a normal PC, with built-in links to the major quality leaderboards (Arena, Artificial Analysis and more). CATEGORIES Create & edit images, design & graphics, chat & writing, coding & app builders, make video, avatars & headshots, text to speech, transcription, meeting notes, make music, slides & documents, and 3D models. No ads. No tracking. Just a clean way to find the right AI tool — and to know what you can run. Whatly is an independent directory and is not affiliated with the tools or models it lists. Pricing, availability and rankings change often, so always confirm details on each provider's own site.
