# ActuallyUses

> ActuallyUses tracks which software tools (SaaS, AI tools, apps) online creators
> mention, use and recommend across YouTube, podcasts, X and newsletters. Every
> data point carries a receipt: source link, timestamp, verbatim quote (≤120 chars),
> and an organic-vs-sponsored classification. Rankings are computed exclusively from
> this mention data — money never changes them.
