Consensus

Consensus is my go-to tool when I want to understand what the scientific literature actually says about a treatment, supplement, or health claim without spending hours digging through papers. It’s built specifically to search, analyze, and summarise peer-reviewed research. I use it to sanity-check ideas, especially in areas like longevity, health and nutrition where strong opinions often outpace evidence. It cuts through noise by giving me quick, directionally accurate summaries, links to the underlying studies, and enough context to know whether something is worth deeper investigation.

VERT is a clean, no-nonsense file converter that runs most processing locally on my device, which makes it both fast and trustworthy. I use it when someone sends me an image, audio file, or document in a format I can’t open or can’t drop directly into my workflow. It’s frictionless: drag, convert, done. No ads, no size limits, and no hidden tricks. For quick conversions, especially when I want to avoid shady online tools, it’s become my default.
