Introducing TOOOLS: A Weekly Shortcut to Design and AI Tools Worth Opening
Designers do not need another firehose of links. TOOOLS is an independent weekly newsletter of design and AI tools, reads, and news — filtered for UI/UX, product, brand, and motion designers who want one short email instead of a weekend of tabs.
What TOOOLS does
TOOOLS is a curated media roundup, not a generic startup dump:
- Weekly issues — tools, reads, listens, and news through a designer’s lens
- No filler essays — short, scannable picks you can act on
- Design + AI focus — new canvases, type, motion, and agentic design tools
- Sponsorship path — a clear way for products to reach that audience

Who it is for
UI/UX, product, and motion designers — and the marketers who support them — who want a trusted weekly filter for tools worth trying.
Where it fits in a content stack
TOOOLS owns weekly curation of design/AI tools. It is a discovery surface; your product still needs its own docs and demos.
Quick tips if you try TOOOLS
- Subscribe and skim the latest issue before you pitch a tool — tone is tight.
- Check the sponsor page if you want reach with that audience.
- Save issues that match your stack instead of starring fifty tabs.
- Share one pick with your team each week to keep the habit useful.
- Email hey@toools.design for newsletter or sponsorship questions.
Soft close — related tool
If you also need concept → storyboard → animated or whiteboard explainer / Reels (not talking-avatar presenters), see Scro Explainer. Scro (by NOVAX) is built around approving an AI storyboard before you render — useful when a design tool needs a clear explainer, not just a directory mention. Keep TOOOLS as the focus of this intro; Scro is only a related option for storyboard-first explainers.
