FutureStack has two ways to narrow down tools: search and filters. You can use them together.
Search
The search bar is in the top navbar on every page. Press Cmd+K (Mac) or Ctrl+K (Windows) to open it from anywhere.
Search works across tool names, descriptions, and categories. Try queries like:
image generator
coding assistant free
voice cloning
open source LLM
Results appear as you type with a 300ms delay. Press Enter to go to the full search results page at /search?q=your-query, which you can bookmark or share.
Filters
Filters live in the left sidebar on the homepage and in the filter bar on the Discover page. You can combine multiple filters at once.
Category, narrows by the primary type of AI the tool uses. Examples: Writing, Coding, Image Generation, Video, Audio, Productivity, Marketing, Data.
Role, narrows by who the tool is for. Examples: Developers, Students, Marketers, Designers, Creators, Entrepreneurs.
Pricing, narrows by pricing tier. Options: Free, Freemium, Paid, Free Trial.
Platform, narrows by where the tool runs. Options: Web, iOS, Android, API, Chrome Extension.
All filters use AND logic. Selecting Free and Developers shows only tools that are both free and tagged for developers.
Active filters
When a filter is active, it appears as an orange pill below the filter bar. Click the X on any pill to remove that filter. Active filters also update the URL so you can share or bookmark a filtered view.
Start with the Role filter. It is the fastest way to cut through hundreds of tools and see only what is relevant to your work.
