✈️That plane overhead — where's it off to? Ask the new flight tracker ✈️

Ever spotted a plane in the sky and thought "where's that one going?" Now you don't have to wonder — we've launched a live flight tracker, and right now every aircraft in the sky is crawling across the map. 🛫

Poke a little plane and it spills everything: which flight it is, where from and where to (London → Dubai!), how high, how fast, and even a real photo of that exact aircraft. Know a flight number? Type "BA492" or "AF447" and we'll whisk you straight to it — handy for whoever you're picking up at the airport.

You can also peek at "what's flying over me right now", spot military planes, find the ones crossing the ocean, see the highest and fastest plane on screen — and even ask us to ping you the moment a flight finally takes off. ✈️

All free, right in your browser. Hop in, poke some planes, and tell us in the comments the longest flight you caught! 🌍

🌍New tool: a 3D Earth globe with live day & night

We've launched a new tool — an interactive 3D Earth globe, and we want it to be the best one on the web. Spin a photoreal planet where the day-and-night line is computed from the current time, so the lit and dark sides match the real world this minute — city lights glow on the night side and the Sun glints off the oceans.

Search any country or city and fly there; turn on borders, clouds, the Moon or a coordinate grid; track the International Space Station live on its real orbit and see when it next passes over you; watch recent earthquakes; measure the great-circle distance between any two points; and scrub time to watch the seasons and the day-night line move. Switch between a realistic Earth and a clean stylized look.

It's brand new — help us make it perfect: try it on your phone and computer and tell us in the comments what you liked, what's missing, and where anything looks off. Thank you!

🐾New tool: see the world as animals do

We've launched a new tool — an animal vision simulator: see how a dog, cat, eagle, bee and 11 more animals see the world. Pick an animal and the picture changes — colour, sharpness and night vision are recomputed from real science, not just a «filter». Drag the slider to compare your own eyes with the animal's on the very same image.

Use a built-in scene, upload your own photo or video, or switch on your camera. «Compare all» shows one scene through all 15 animals at once, and the «Road & signs» scene makes it obvious why red and green get confused for colour-blind people and dogs.

The tool is brand new — help us make it perfect: try it on your phone and computer and tell us in the comments what you liked, what felt awkward, and where anything broke. Thank you!

🏙️New game: Cities — the classic, in your browser

Remember the Cities word game? One player names a city, the next names one that starts with its last letter, and the chain goes on. We built an online Cities game and set out to make it the best of its kind.

Play against the computer — three levels, from a relaxed bot to a Strategist that solves the endgame and corners you onto rare letters — or with a friend online: just share a link. Every move is checked against a real worldwide city dictionary and dropped on a live map, with proper handling of tricky letters. Mistype a name and you get a friendly «did you mean…?» instead of a rejection; skip a hard letter; or switch to a Russia-only mode with thousands of small towns. Can you name more cities than the AI? Give it a try!

⏳New tool: how many days have you lived?

Ever wondered how many days you've been alive? We built a days-alive calculator that turns your birthday into something to celebrate. Enter your date of birth and watch the number of days you've lived tick up live, second by second.

See your whole life laid out as a grid of weeks, find the date of your next big milestone (your 10,000th day, your billionth second!), and discover playful facts — how many full moons you've seen, how far you've travelled around the Sun. Every day is a small milestone worth noticing. Take a look and celebrate yours!

🧩New tool: a logic trainer for kids

We launched a logic trainer for kids — playful thinking puzzles for ages 5–12. Eight kinds of tasks: patterns, odd-one-out, sorting, analogies, spatial reasoning, deduction, quantity and memory. Puzzles are generated endlessly, so there's almost no repetition.

Start with a short diagnostic — it builds a skill map, shows strengths and what to work on, and picks the right difficulty. There's a parent report, achievement badges, separate profiles for several kids, and printable worksheets. Narration turns on with the 🔊 button — handy for kids who can't read yet. It runs in your browser, needs no signup, and works in 9 languages. Try it with the whole family!

📚New tool: a Russian vocabulary & literacy test

A user on the feminitives page asked for «the same kind of dictionary, but to test yourself» — on synonyms, literacy and so on. We did more: a Russian vocabulary & literacy test.

Mark the words you know with «I know / I don't» — it takes a couple of minutes. Some words are invented to catch guessing, so the score stays honest, like in scientific vocabulary tests. At the end you'll see roughly how many Russian words you know, your level, and how you compare — and you can share the result as an image.

There's also an ЕГЭ-style literacy round: word stress and paronyms (надеть vs одеть). The words come from a frequency dictionary and Wiktionary; the checklists are the official exam ones. Test your knowledge!

👩‍🏫New tool: a Russian feminitives dictionary

We launched a Russian feminitives dictionary — a reference for feminine forms of Russian profession names with honest register tags: normative, colloquial, bookish, neologism. The topic spiked around 2018 with debates over neologisms like «авторка» and «директорка».

The niche had only a mechanical generator with no register tags. We built a side-by-side variant grid with 188 hand-curated top professions and reverse lookup («авторка» → «автор» card). The data picker also covers German, French, Spanish, Portuguese and Arabic — useful for learners and translators. A reference, not advocacy — the choice is yours.

📖New tool: write a book together

We launched a collaborative book tool — write a story together, one page at a time. Anyone with a verified email or Pro can start a book with a premise and an opening page; everyone else adds the next page. It's append-only: no one can delete what you wrote, and you can edit your own page for 24 hours. A book finishes when it hits its page limit or when its author closes it — then anyone can download it as a text file. Books can be any genre: comedy, sci-fi, fantasy, detective, fairy tale. We started the first one — a comedy, «The Space Crew»: six strangers from six countries win a free seat to orbit in an internet poll, and have no idea what they're doing. Read it and add the next page. Reading is open to everyone.

📅New tool: a Schengen 90/180 calculator

We built a Schengen 90/180 calculator — a companion to our visa-free checker. Add your past and planned trips and it shows how many of your 90 days you've used in the rolling 180-day window, how many remain, and the exact date you'd have to leave. It also checks whether a planned trip fits — down to the day it would tip into an overstay — and finds the earliest date you could re-enter for a stay of a given length. A timeline draws your trips on the 180-day window so you can see it at a glance. It counts the entry and exit day the way border control does, runs in your browser, saves your trips on your device, and works in 9 languages. It's a planning aid — border officers always have the final say.

🧭New tool: a career test for teens

A user asked us for career-orientation tests for teenagers — so we built a career test for teens. Rate 60 everyday activities (about 10 minutes) and it maps your interests on the RIASEC / Holland model, then suggests careers that fit you. Each one is shown with its typical pay, projected job growth and how exposed it is to AI — with a link to explore that career's automation outlook. It's free, needs no signup, runs in your browser and works in 9 languages. It's for exploration, not a verdict — interests grow, especially in your teens. We're sharing it now, as the school year ends — a calm moment to think about what comes next. Thanks for the idea; send yours via "Request a tool".

🔍New tool: a hash type identifier

A user asked for it, so we built a hash type identifier. Paste a hash and it shows which algorithm most likely produced it: MD5, SHA, bcrypt, Argon2, NTLM, MySQL and dozens more. For self-describing formats it decodes the parameters (cost, memory, iterations, salt), shows the matching hashcat and John modes, handles whole lists and dumps, and — if you know the original text — can prove the algorithm by recomputing it. It only identifies the algorithm: it doesn't crack hashes or reveal passwords, and the analysis runs in your browser. We hope you'll use it in good faith — for your own systems, authorized testing and learning. Thanks for the idea; send yours via "Request a tool".

🤬Profanity remover: a big update, now for video too

The "remove profanity" tool for audio and video recognises Russian speech and mutes swear words exactly by timecode — with a beep, silence, a duck, or your own sound, no manual editing. What's new: for video, a visual censor mark right on the picture (dim, shake or a red border), visible even in muted autoplay; a live preview of the effect before you download; the tool now adapts to the file with an audio/video switch; a word-coverage slider and word-list import from a file.

🛡️New tool: Profanity checker

Need to make sure a text is clean? The new Profanity Checker scans any text for swearing and slurs across 9 languages, highlights every hit and can mask it to ●●●. It sees through obfuscation too — sp@ced letters, mixed scripts and leetspeak do not slip past. Handy for moderating comments, names, reviews or chat before they go live. Free and instant.

🗣️New tool: English word stress

Not sure whether to say REcord or reCORD? Our new Word Stress tool shows exactly which syllable to stress in any English word — and it gets heteronyms right: it reads the sentence and tells the noun «REcord» from the verb «reCORD». Paste a word or a whole text, hear it out loud, and pick up natural pronunciation in seconds. Free, right in your browser.
