Yesterday's Top Launches: 5 Tools from February 3, 2026 | productdirs

Yesterday brought another interesting mix of tools and apps launching into the world, continuing the trend of developers tackling very specific, sometimes quirky, problems. From freeing up phone storage to generating sales leads from casual Reddit chats, February 3rd’s batch covers a lot of ground.

For anyone building things, keeping an eye on these new developer tools can spark ideas or simply provide a much-needed solution. Let's take a look at what just went live.

Compressor

If you've ever tried to send a video from your Android phone only to be blocked by file size limits, you'll understand the immediate appeal of Compressor. This app promises a "lightning fast" way to shrink videos directly on your device. The key differentiator here is its use of Android's native Media3 transformer pipelines, which should mean better performance and battery efficiency compared to apps that rely on cloud processing or less optimized methods.

It’s completely free, with no ads or subscriptions, which feels increasingly rare. Built with Kotlin, it’s a straightforward tool that does one job well. The offline functionality is a huge plus for privacy and convenience. This is ideal for social media creators, casual videographers, or anyone who just needs to quickly reduce a video's size without jumping through hoops.

Prompty Town

Prompty Town is one of those concepts that makes you pause for a second. The idea is that you take any link—to your blog, portfolio, or a product—and it becomes a "building" in a virtual town. You can then "buy a tile" for this building and assign a prompt to it. The result is a growing, user-generated cityscape of the internet.

While the exact use cases are still emerging, it seems to sit at the intersection of digital identity, gamification, and perhaps a new form of social discovery. It’s a paid platform, so they’re betting on people finding value in this novel way of representing and interacting with links. It might appeal to artists, developers with side projects, or communities looking for a more visual and interactive directory. It’s certainly a creative take on the link-in-bio concept.

Resylla

Job hunting is rarely fun, and one of the most stressful parts is framing your experience in the best possible light. Resylla steps in as an AI resume coach designed specifically to help with the tricky parts: employment gaps, career pivots, and roles that might seem mundane on paper. Instead of just reformatting, its AI works to align your existing experience with specific job descriptions, suggests ways to fill in details, and, crucially, helps quantify your outcomes.

Operating on a freemium model, it likely offers basic analysis for free with more personalized, in-depth coaching behind a paywall. For career changers, recent graduates, or anyone who dreads tailoring their resume for each application, Resylla could be a valuable partner. The success of such a tool hinges entirely on the sophistication of its AI; a generic suggestion to "use more action verbs" won't cut it, but genuine, context-aware restructuring could be a game-changer.

PDF Toolbox

PDFs are a necessary evil, and dealing with their limitations can be a headache. PDF Toolbox is a mobile app that aims to be a Swiss Army knife for these documents, and its standout feature is that everything works 100% offline. In an era of constant connectivity, an app that respects your privacy and works without an internet connection is noteworthy. The ability to remove passwords is front and center, but it also packs a suite of other functions: merging, splitting, compressing, OCR (Optical Character Recognition), and even creating a PDF from your camera.

Being free and offline makes it incredibly useful for students, professionals handling sensitive documents, or anyone who needs to manipulate PDFs on the go without worrying about data security or finding a Wi-Fi signal. It’s a practical, no-nonsense utility.

Reddar

Turning community chatter into customers is the holy grail for many businesses, and Reddar attempts to automate this process. It continuously monitors specified Subreddits, using AI to scan conversations for what it identifies as "buying intent." When it finds someone asking for a solution that matches a client's product, it generates a qualified lead.

For SaaS companies, indie developers, or consultants, this could potentially streamline business development. The challenge, of course, is in the execution. The AI must be nuanced enough to distinguish genuine purchase-ready questions from general curiosity, and the follow-up needs to feel natural and helpful rather than like intrusive spam. If it gets this balance right, Reddar could be a powerful sales tool. As a paid service, its value will be directly measured by the quality of leads it produces.
