Weekly Picks

Fast, no-BS picks for AI tools and budget tech gear that are actually worth checking out right now.
Updated regularly, so you can grab quick wins without hunting through the whole site.

How This Works

  1. Quick wins only. A short list of tools or gear that are worth your time this week.
  2. Linked back to full guides. Every pick connects to an in-depth post if you want details.
  3. No hype. If something stops being good, it stops showing up here.

Latest Picks

Swap these in or try them for the first time. You can update this section any time with 3–7 fresh picks.

NordVPN

Solid speeds, easy apps, and great for streaming. Good “set it and forget it” VPN for remote work.
See why it’s on the list in
Best VPNs for Work & Streaming.

CapCut Desktop

Free editor with AI features that makes TikToks, Reels, and Shorts way easier to cut together.
It’s one of the standouts in
Top Free AI Video Tools for Creators.

Logitech C920 / C920S Webcam

Still one of the easiest upgrades if your built-in camera looks bad on calls or streams.

Previous Picks Archive

When you rotate picks out of the “Latest Picks” section above, drop them here with a quick note.
Over time this becomes a simple history of what’s been good — and what’s been replaced.

Example layout you can follow:

  • Week of Jan 6, 2026 – NordVPN, CapCut Desktop, Logitech C920S.
  • Week of Jan 20, 2026 – <Add your next round of tools/gear here>.

Tip: you don’t have to update this every single week. Bi-weekly or “whenever there’s actually something worth mentioning” is fine.
