The Verdict
Goblin Tools is admirable - free, mission-driven, and genuinely helpful for neurodivergent people. The micro-tool approach works well for specific problems (breaking down tasks, transforming text tone, estimating time). However, Goblin Tools are isolated tools without a unified system - they don't integrate with task management, habit tracking, calendar planning, or family coordination. If you're neurodivergent and using Goblin Tools + other apps for task management, habits, calendar, and family coordination, consolidate into Mind Your Now. You get Goblin Tools' AI assistance for task breakdown, writing, decision-making, and time estimation, PLUS unified task and habit management, calendar integration, and daily Compass briefings that tie everything together. For neurodivergent individuals wanting integrated AI assistance with complete life planning, Mind Your Now is the better choice.
