FlightRadar24 To Track Any Flight in the World

“This site nearly single-handedly cured my fear of flying.”

“I use it when I pick up people from the airport when they visit. It’s always more accurate than what the airport shows.”

FreeCycle for Free Stuff

“It’s people giving away stuff they don’t need/want anymore that they can’t/don’t care enough to sell.”

“If you’re moving and need boxes (who doesn’t?), this is a great place to go. I’ve used & donated boxes several times. It’s a huge money saver and good for the planet!”

1aauto.com for Free Auto Repair Tutorials

“It is a car parts supplier, but their videos show exactly what tools you need, what parts you need, and how to repair it yourself. Great money saver if you don’t know much about mechanics.”

“Someone I knew would get ripped off by their mechanic (700 bucks for a water pump replacement). Showed them that they did it themselves for 30 bucks.”

USPS and UPS for Free Boxes and Packaging

“It doesn’t cost a thing, and you can get like 50 boxes at a time.”

“Used to work at a UPS store, and we charged a ton of money for boxes and bubble wrap. People would be so mad if they knew about this.”

“Make sure to double-check that the photographer posts the photo. I’ve heard of instances where people post copyrighted photos ( taken by others ) on sites, and people will use them assuming they are copyright free.”

“Pexels.com and pixabay.com, too. Some of the collections overlap, but not all. The search algorithms or tags seem to be slightly different, too, so I’ll find things in different places.”

Free File for Free Tax Filing

“If you’re in the USA and earn less than a certain amount of money — currently $69,000 — you can use Free File to file your taxes for free.”

“There are free ways to do it, but it can seem daunting or complicated to people who need to learn how it all works, don’t understand the various forms, don’t know which deductions they qualify for, etc. Many people pay places like TurboTax and H&R Block to do it for them.”

MIT OpenCourseWare for Free College Courses

“I see it as an alternative learning source for when you are already in college or uni. Maybe you didn’t understand something in your class and are searching for a better explanation, or you learn better from those free sources.”

“These sorts of free options are wonderful for me because I love learning and the academic experience, but I don’t really care about accreditation.”

“This is so cool! I love how seamless it is. When flipping through channels, it picks random videos based on the “channel” programming. It only sometimes starts at the beginning, just like regular scheduled TV. Awesome!”

“I flipped it on to 1998, and it was a Marilyn Manson concert – next channel was Dexter’s lab – next was an ad for all-new Reese’s Puffs cereal. What a grand idea this dude had.”

Heavens Above To See What Satellites Are Above You

“It should be noted that many, if not most, of these objects are visible even in a city if on a good pass right above you. So go out and see some cool stuff!”

“We got this app for a Girl Scout campout, and now my daughter is obsessed. She’ll grab my phone randomly and point it around until she finds the moon, the ISS, whatever. Because it works day or night, no matter what direction you face!”

Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library if You Have a Child Younger Than 5

“This one is really incredible. Such a diverse range of books, from classic stuff like Little Engine That Could to new stuff like Llama Llama. It’s pretty amazing what she’s done.”

“Dolly is a saint. She has done so much for her community. I hate country music, but I love that woman.”

Terms of Service; Didn’t Read for Those Too Lazy to Read The TOS

“This rules and, if it hasn’t been mentioned in the comments yet, did you see the story of that woman who won some large sum of money because she did, in fact, read the TOS line for line and the fine print said “follow these rules to claim your money”… it was completely legit.”

“When I was buying internet, I actually read the ToS, but the online system asked me if I was still there because I was taking “too long” (I wasn’t reading for more than 5 minutes).”

Fotoforensics for Determining if a Picture Is Photoshopped

“The problem I’m finding with its use on Reddit or social media, in general, is that jpeg quality degrades with each save and screen cap and download. There are still some usable artifacts, but often it’s just all black. As an investigator, making a definitive call takes a lot of work. It takes skill to use.”

“Great for finding out if your friend’s picture is photoshopped!”

SkipLagged for Flights

“They essentially exploit the pricing manipulation that airlines use. For example, if you want to go from Phoenix to Atlanta, sometimes a ticket from Phoenix to Ft. Lauderdale connecting through Atlanta is cheaper. This website finds those flights for ya. Just don’t check in a bag!”

“It’s so good that United Airlines sued them and lost.”

UBlock Origin for Ad Blocking

“Best adblocker by a mile. Websites are 95% ads and 5% content nowadays, but uBlock brings balance to the force! Works on all browsers, even mobile!”

“If I had to use the internet without uBlock, I’d probably just go outside and get proper hobbies and friends.”

Zotero for Citations

“For students, Zotero is a lifesaver. It will store your sources, import them to a bibliography in whatever citation style you need, and even create in-text citations in your paper. It saves hours of work.”

“My experience was that Zotero made grad school much more pleasant.”

NobaProject for Free Psychology Learning

“It’s a website that has compiled Psychology topics into easy-to-read modules. They have been compiled by psychology university professors to help facilitate free education for students. You can even download the ones you’re interested in as a PDF as often as you want. All of this is free!”

“The author or authors of each topic always cite their sources and sometimes include videos to reinforce the content. This is an excellent way for people to have a starting point or to refresh their knowledge.

TheNounProject for Free Icons

“Seconding noun project! Useful for small graphic arts projects or drafting logos and such.”

“It’s a massive help for all of my UI/UX design work.”

“Anki got me and several of my classmates through medical school. I love this app.”

“It is the holy grail for med students to the point where people who don’t use it are in the extreme minority, far and away the most efficient tool for brute-force memorizing.”

Archive.org for Old, Free Content

“It has millions of free downloads for music, movies, books, software, etc. One viral example is that it is home to a vast catalog of Grateful Dead recordings.”

“I reported a spam email to them that was using their upload tool to distribute malware. They replied within an hour, killed the link, and banned the uploader. Most spam report teams ignore you, so there’s not much malware on their site, either.”

Top Class Action for Class Action Lawsuit Signups

“I’ve used it for trivial things like suing red bull for a free case because it “didn’t give me wings,” but on a serious note. It informed me of the suit against Equifax for leaking my data.”

“Lenovo paid $44 last month because my husband bought a laptop from them in 2014, Michael Kors paid almost $60, and I don’t even remember what it was for anymore… We get at least a few hundred dollars yearly from those things.”

FreeCodeCamp for Learning Programming Languages

“FreeCodeCamp is what helped me start my career as Software Developer. It gives users a full road map on how to become a developer.”

“I also recommend FreeCodeCamp now – it works basically the same way as Codecademy, but everything is free. They don’t have as much content yet but are constantly adding new stuff.”
