A Chrome extension that rewrites X and Threads drafts in multiple tones without leaving the composer.

Why it surfaced

Retone offers seven built-in tones, custom presets, and one-click insertion directly beside the posting box. Its unusual selling point is restraint: the open-source, local-first tool says it does not store drafts or results, while a Cloud option costs ₩4,500 per month; Chrome Web Store approval is still pending.

Thirty Patents for the Grave

August 13’s newborn domains include 30 safety-coffin patents, lost notices for false teeth and a box of hair, short films playing in 100 Tokyo taxis, and a Queensland river view arranged gauge by gauge downstream.

This is one of 1,000 discoveries in the 2026-08-13 Domain Arrivals issue.
