About me

I'm Marc: software developer by day, gamer and tech nerd by night.

I have a soft spot for things that are simply well made. Software that stays out of the way. Gadgets that work every day. Tools that solve a real problem instead of inventing one.

guteszeug.me ("good stuff" in German) is my shelf for exactly those things.

If something lands here, it's because I use it myself and genuinely believe in it. Not because someone paid for it.

The house rules

• Only things I'm actually convinced by make it here.
• Mediocre stuff never even reaches the page.
• If something has weaknesses, I write them down.
• No star ranking. Instead, an honest verdict in my own words and a seal of approval I hand out.

About the affiliate links

Here and there I use affiliate links. Honestly, and without fine print: I only do it to fund the site.

It changes nothing about my opinion. I'm convinced of every single recommendation here, and I haven't received money for any of them.

No manufacturer pays me. No product lands here because someone paid for it.

If you buy through one of those links, you help keep the site running, and it doesn't cost you a single cent extra.

Why German and English

Because good stuff doesn't know language borders. German is my language, English makes it findable for the rest of the world.

If you like something here: great. If you know good stuff I'm missing: even better.
