FoolFree Filters
The easy way to find what you're looking for
Why should you use the search filters?
Since the FoolFree directory holds many items, we highly recommend using our search filters aside from the typical search engine. By simply checking a box or two, you’ll filter out many irrelevant items for you and get the best results more quickly.
We’ve classified all the items in the directory into six types of different free solutions:
• Open Source: a tool designed to be publicly accessible—anyone can see, modify and distribute the source code. Nearly all open-source software is free, but some exceptions are offered as a freemium tool.
• Free Tool: a tool offered for free in its full version with all features and no limitations.
• Freemium Tool: a tool offered for free with limitations (limited features, limited support, limited usage, etc.).
• Free to Try: the full version of the tool for a brief period to test it before purchase (Free trial).
• Free Micro Tool: a free simple tool that performs a basic and specific task. For example, a meme generator or word counter.
• Free Resource: these could be free courses, graphic assets, templates, directories, or anything else free and useful.
• Android: available for download for Android devices.
• iPhone/iPad: available for download for iPhone and iPad (iOS).
• Linux: available for download for devices running Linux operating system.
• Mac: available for download for Mac PCs.
• Plugin: a tool installed on another software to expand its features and functions (also called Addon or Extension). For example, an extension for the Chrome browser or a plugin for WordPress.
• Web-based: any tool you can access using an internet connection and a web browser, which means you can access it from any device (desktop, tablet, or mobile).
• Windows: available for download for Windows PCs.
Software
• Assuming the tool is a plugin or extension for software, you can narrow down the results by specifying the software.
