What is blackfriday.tools?
blackfriday.tools is a specialized directory that tracks Black Friday and Cyber Monday offers for software, SaaS, and AI tools. It aggregates deals submitted by founders or added editorially, and each listing is hand-verified against the vendor before publication. The website runs in the browser, requires no sign-up to browse, and is produced by an unnamed editorial team. The 2026 edition highlights the countdown to Black Friday on Nov 27 and Cyber Monday on Nov 30.
Key Features
- Hand-verified listings — Every deal's terms, discount code, and expiry are checked against the vendor before being listed, with re-checks through the season.
- Expiry tracking to the minute — The site tracks each offer's expiration and marks dead deals as expired the same day they are discovered.
- Eight deal categories — Listings are organized into AI tools, developer tools, design tools, marketing & SEO, productivity, hosting & domains, business & ops, and lifetime deals.
