What they are

Photopea

Photopea is a free, browser-based image editor that opens and saves PSD, XD, Sketch, PDF, and standard raster formats without any installation. Designers, content creators, and hobbyists use it to retouch photos, build thumbnails, and work with layered files on any device. It mirrors Photoshop's interface closely enough that existing PSD workflows transfer without friction, though ads on the free tier can interrupt focus.

tl;dv

tl;dv auto-joins Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams calls as a bot, then records, transcribes in 30-plus languages, and generates AI summaries and action items. Sales, customer success, and product teams use it to capture decisions and sync outcomes directly to CRMs like HubSpot and Salesforce. Its multi-meeting intelligence sets it apart from single-call recorders: you can query patterns across hundreds of past calls at once. The free plan has real caps on AI notes and integration credits that are easy to hit fast.
