Yesterday's Top Launches: 5 Tools from February 16, 2026

Yesterday's digital landscape got a bit more interesting with five new product launches, including a particularly useful entry for developers looking to streamline their debugging workflow. From tools that help you talk to machines more effectively to platforms that help you talk to people with less anxiety, February 16th delivered a diverse mix of utilities.

OpenBug

For anyone who lives in the command line, OpenBug looks like a promising addition to the toolkit. It’s an intelligent CLI that brings AI-assisted debugging right into your terminal. Instead of juggling between your code editor, a separate log viewer, and a browser tab searching for solutions, OpenBug lets you run commands and get AI-powered insights in a single interactive interface.

Imagine running a script and having the tool not only show you the logs but also highlight potential bottlenecks or suggest fixes based on common errors, all in real-time over a WebSocket connection. Built with Node.js and TypeScript, it seems geared towards modern web development stacks. The fact that it’s free to use removes the barrier to entry, making it easy to just install and see if it speeds up your process. It’s one of those new developer tools that could save you from those frustrating hours spent tracing a tricky bug.

Global Psychotherapist Directory

Shifting gears entirely, Sercle launched a Global Psychotherapist Directory aimed specifically at trauma survivors. The internet is full of wellness resources, but finding affordable, qualified, and trauma-informed therapy can be a daunting challenge. This directory attempts to cut through the noise by vetting licensed professionals who specialize in this area.

The service facilitates both online and in-person sessions, which is crucial for accessibility. While many directories exist, the explicit focus on trauma and the promise of affordability could make it a valuable resource for a segment of the population that often struggles to find the right support. It’s a paid service for the end-user, as you’d expect for connecting with licensed therapists, but the value is in the curation and specialization.

DatingX – AI Virtual Practice Date

DatingX tackles a very specific kind of social anxiety: the pre-date jitters. The concept is straightforward—you upload a potential match’s dating profile, and the platform generates an AI persona based on that information. You can then have a live voice conversation with this simulation to practice your conversation skills and build confidence before the actual meeting.

It’s an intriguing use of AI, moving beyond text-based chatbots into real-time voice interaction. For people who get nervous about first dates, this could be a low-stakes way to rehearse and anticipate conversation flows. The success would heavily depend on how convincingly the AI can mimic human interaction and adapt to unpredictable responses. Still, as a free web app, it’s a fascinating experiment in using technology as a social crutch.

Breakup Calculator

Then there’s the Breakup Calculator, which takes a decidedly less gentle approach. This AI-powered tool asks you a series of blunt questions about your relationship and then delivers a “breakup probability” score accompanied by what the description calls “savage roasts.” It’s clearly designed for entertainment rather than genuine psychological insight, leaning into the trend of brutally honest, meme-friendly apps.

It makes you wonder about the ethical lines here. While it might be amusing for some, the potential for the AI’s “roasts” to cause real distress is non-trivial, even if that’s not the intention. It’s free and exists on the web, so its reach could be wide. This feels like a product that will quickly find its audience, but it’s probably not something to take too seriously.

Elebean

Finally, Elebean arrives as a new hub for music enthusiasts. In a world dominated by streaming giants, Elebean aims to be a supplementary space dedicated to tracking your listening habits. It compiles your top songs, artists, and listening history, and lets you apply time filters to see how your tastes have evolved.

For data-loving music fans who use multiple streaming services, a centralized dashboard could be appealing. The challenge, of course, is integration; its usefulness will be directly tied to how well it can pull data from platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and others. As a free web app, it’s positioned as a passion project for those who want to go deeper into their musical identity beyond what their primary streaming service offers.


None of these products had a community ranking available at launch, so it will be interesting to see which ones gain traction in the coming weeks. For a closer look, you can check them out here:
