Find the right tool — just say what you need to do.

Ducklist is one directory of the AI tools, GitHub repos and skills worth knowing about. Type the job in plain English and Rocket — the duck in charge here — matches it against every listing, then shows you the closest few, why each one matched, and which ones he’d actually rock.

Not sure what the tool is called? Start with the job. Tap a category and you’ll land on the Tools page, showing only the listings for that job.

Rocket’s picks

A short featured row, picked only by honest signals — the most-mentioned listings, GitHub stars, refreshed from GitHub on 8 November 2026, and this week’s verified new finds. No ratings, nothing paid. If Rocket would use it himself, the card gets his stamp: “I’d rock it.” The reason is on every card.

New this week

The newest additions to the directory. Every card below carries the New find label in its own listing — fresh discoveries verified against GitHub on 7 November 2026, not saved to the collection yet and not tested. If a listing doesn’t carry that label, it isn’t in this section.

Stacks — tools that work as a team

One tool rarely finishes a job. A stack is a small set of listings from this directory that chain together: each one does a step, in order, until the job is done. Every tool below is a real listing in the directory — tap one to open its detail view and check it before you commit.

Tools — the full directory

Every listing in one place. Search by name, narrow it down by kind or category, or filter by the problem you’re trying to solve. Clicking a name opens its detail view — what it does, who it’s for, the video it came from and alternatives — with a link out to its own site.

Rocket: Whole pond’s here. The stamped ones? I’d rock it.

My shortlist

Tap + Shortlist on any tool — in the directory, Rocket’s picks, New this week or a stack — and it collects here, ready for your next visit. Your shortlist is kept on this device, in this browser: there is no Ducklist account, nothing is synced, and nothing is sent anywhere. Clearing your browser data clears the list. To show someone your picks, share the link below — the tools travel inside the link itself, so anyone who opens it sees the same list.

Nothing saved yet. When a tool earns a second look, tap + Shortlist on its card and it will wait for you here — on this device, in this browser.

Your picks for Rocket’s next test

Rocket has tested only a few listings so far — the rest are waiting their turn. See one you want put through its paces? Tap Ask Rocket to test on its card or in its details and it joins your picks here. These picks are yours alone, kept on this device: there is no shared scoreboard and no vote totals from other visitors — this page has no server to count anyone else’s picks on, so it doesn’t pretend to. When a pick really does get tested, it earns the “✓ Rocket tested it” badge and drops off this list.

Rocket’s test bench is empty. No picks yet — find an untested tool you’re curious about, tap Ask Rocket to test, and it will show up here.

The videos behind the listings

The saved videos the tools and repos were pulled from, ranked by how many listed entries each one mentions. Titles only — the videos live in the saved collection, not here.

For brands

When this site publishes, brands will be able to put a tool in front of the builders who read it — in the videos, on the page, and through Rocket himself. Four ways in:

01

Sponsored segments

A clearly labelled segment inside a video, where Rocket walks through what your tool actually does — the job it solves, on screen, in the middle of content builders already watch.

Best for — launches & new features
02

Custom videos

A whole video built around one workflow: your tool, a real task, start to finish. You approve the facts; Rocket keeps his own verdict.

Best for — showing, not telling
03

Collab posts

Shared posts and short-form clips made together — your tool in Rocket’s format, posted to both audiences, labelled as a collaboration.

Best for — reach, fast
04

Likeness licensing

License Rocket himself — his image and deadpan — for your own campaign, launch page or event, under a simple usage licence.

Best for — borrowing the beak

Not switched on in this preview. There are no sponsored or affiliate entries in the directory above — partnerships open when the site publishes.

The line that doesn’t move: paid placement buys visibility, never the verdict. Sponsored work is labelled Sponsored, listings stay honest, and Rocket’s write-ups stay his.

Rocket — a white duck with a grey-blue wing and a completely unimpressed expression

Meet Rocket

This is Rocket — part deadpan tester, part friendly guide, part cheeky sidekick, all in one duck. He is the face of this directory and its entire quality department: unimpressed until a tool earns it, then the first to say “I’d rock it.”

I’d rock it. — Rocket
  • Nº 1He reads every listing exactly onceNames, descriptions, categories, problem tags — then he matches your plain-English job against all of it.
  • Nº 2His stamps are honestAn “I’d rock it” stamp comes only from a listing’s real signals — most-mentioned, verified stars quoted in the listing, or a verified New find. No invented ratings, no prices, no test results. And when there’s a better option, he says so: “Nah, duck that one — there’s better options for your project.”
  • Nº 3He remains unimpressed — until he isn’tWhich is the point. Hype does not survive the look, but a genuinely good tool gets the full celebration.
