Utilities Apps & Tools

Utilities are the small tools that do one job and get out of the way: file converters, QR and link utilities, password and security helpers, calculators, format changers, browser extensions and single-purpose apps. They rarely raise money and rarely make headlines, but they are frequently the most-used software a builder ever ships, and they are how a great many developers start. This page collects the ones built by African builders. Two things make them worth browsing. First, several solve a local irritation directly, currency conversion between African currencies, data bundle comparison, offline-capable versions of tools that normally assume a connection. Second, they are an honest window into who is building: a good utility is a small, complete piece of work, and the person behind it is usually reachable. Every listing has a verified founder.
