Goblin Tools

What is Goblin Tools?

Goblin Tools is a set of small, specialized AI-assisted tools designed to help users deal with everyday tasks that are too complex, difficult to initiate, or stressful. These tools take into account the needs of people with ADHD, autism, executive function disorders, chronic illnesses, and low energy levels, but they can be used by anyone.

It does not aim to create an all-powerful chat assistant; instead, it breaks down tasks into separate functions such as tone understanding, time estimation, organizing thoughts, and generating recipes. The web version remains free, ad-free, and without any paywalls, while the official mobile app and Pro subscription are used to support its ongoing operation.

Main tools of Goblin Tools

Magic ToDo’s task management capabilities

• Spice level:Users indicate the difficulty or level of stress associated with a task by the amount of chili used; the higher the spiciness, the more detailed the breakdown usually is.
• Continue to break it down:Each generated sub-task can be further broken down until it becomes an action that is easy to carry out.
• Classification and filtering:The top-level task automatically assigns emoji categories; it is possible to filter categories or hide tasks that have been completed.
• Sorting and time estimation:Drag tasks to adjust their order, and use the Estimator to estimate the time required.
• Multiple exports:It supports Markdown, iCal, printing, and copying; it can also be exported to tools such as Todoist, Asana, Notion, and TickTick.
• Synchronization and sharing:Accounts and Pro features allow for the saving of history, synchronization of lists across devices, and sharing of lists.

Price of Goblin Tools

The basic tools available on the official website remain free of charge; the official mobile app can be purchased at a low price, while a subscription is required for the Pro version, which offers continuous online access. Price differences can arise due to different app stores, regions, and taxes, so it is important to purchase the official apps listed on the official website.

Pro can be canceled at any time, and the basic tools will remain free despite the introduction of Pro. There are unofficial applications in the store that have similar names and icons; it is not possible to determine whether an application is the official version just by looking at its name “Goblin Tools”.

Comparison between the free version and Pro

Magic ToDo Usage Guide

1. Enter a task that you find difficult to start with; write down the goal first, without needing to outline all the steps.
2. Choose the level of spiciness based on your stress levels, concentration, and physical strength.
3. Let the system generate sub-tasks, and remove any steps that are not applicable, have incorrect order, or are too general.
4. Continue to break down the sub-tasks that are still difficult to start, until actions can be taken within a few minutes.
5. Use time estimation and drag-and-drop sorting to plan the tasks for the day, keeping only those that can actually be completed.
6. When it is necessary to switch to another system, choose to export in Markdown, iCal, or the target platform format.

Tutorials for Formalizer and Judge

1. Paste the text that needs to be rewritten in Formalizer; do not include passwords or highly sensitive information.
2. Choose a tone that is formal, friendly, concise, direct, etc., and adjust the degree of intensity accordingly.
3. Check whether the rewritten version still retains the original intent, facts, and necessary boundary expressions.
4. When receiving messages that are difficult to interpret, the non-sensitive parts can be given to Judge to analyze the possible tone.
5. Treat the analysis as a second opinion; do not consider the AI’s predictions to be the true intentions of the sender.
6. In cases involving relationships, work conflicts, or safety issues, it is preferable to clarify things directly or seek reliable support.

Tutorials for using Compiler and Chef

1. Enter your random ideas, concerns, and tasks in the Compiler, and let the system first organize them into action items.
2. Remove the items that are beyond control, and transform the remaining content into specific steps that begin with verbs.
3. Transfer the results to Magic ToDo to continue breaking them down, sorting them, and estimating the time required.
4. When using Chef, list the actual ingredients, quantities, kitchen equipment, time, and cooking capacity.
5. Add information on allergies, dietary restrictions, and ingredients to avoid, then generate a recipe.
6. When checking food safety, don’t rely solely on AI recommendations when it comes to assessing doneness and allergy risks.

Privacy, Synchronization, and Data Information

According to the official privacy page, Pro logins are handled by Clerk; the service itself does not see or store users’ passwords. Subscription payments are processed by Polar as the merchant record-keeper, while cross-device synchronization and historical data functionality require online storage.

• Creating an account provides the identity service with an email address and login credentials;
• Do not paste passwords, medical records, or confidential materials in Formalizer, Judge, or Compiler;
• The older version of Magic ToDo used usernames and passwords for encryption on the device side, but the official source indicated that this system would be replaced.
• Save a local backup before enabling the new synchronization, to prevent loss of the list due to migration issues or problems with credentials.
• The disclosure of data collection by mobile apps varies depending on the platform, version, and Pro features.

API and open-source information

Goblin Tools does not offer a general generation API that is available to ordinary developers; requests made from within the web interface should not be considered stable interfaces. When automation is needed, it is advisable to use the Markdown, iCal formats, as well as export functions provided by third-party task management tools offered by Magic ToDo.

The current product is not an open-source platform that can be fully self-hosted. The code repositories with the same name that have been mentioned online do not prove that the Goblin Tools service provides full source code; it is necessary to follow the instructions available on the official website when using it.
