Kape Tools Made in the Philippines
What is Kape Tools?
Kape Tools is a free online workspace for Filipino freelancers, virtual assistants and small agencies. It puts the work of finding clients and running the jobs you win into one browser tab: three job boards, a job application tracker, a lead finder, a client list with hours and invoices, task boards, and around 40 everyday file tools that run on your own machine. It is made in the Philippines by Kenneth Villar and the free plan does not expire.

Who it is for
Kape Tools is for Filipino freelancers, virtual assistants, GoHighLevel operators and small agencies who are looking for work, running clients they already have, or both at once.
Filipino freelancers and virtual assistants looking for work
The LinkedIn, JobStreet and OnlineJobs.ph boards are collected into one list you can filter, and the tracker remembers what you applied to and what came back.
Freelancers who already have clients
The client list holds terms, hours and invoices, so the money side stops living in a spreadsheet you forget to update.
GoHighLevel users and agency operators
The GHL tools, the prompt vault and the workflow renderer were built while doing the work, not as a product idea.
Anyone who needs a PDF split, an image compressed or a screenshot read
Those run in your browser, so there is no upload, no queue and no waiting on a server.
People who want the paperwork explained
Thirty guides to Philippine government IDs and a BIR tax calculator, free and public, with no sign-in at all.
Who it is not for
Kape Tools is the wrong tool for teams, for real accounting, for a sales pipeline at volume, and for anyone working outside the Philippines. These are limits of what it is, not roadmap items.
Teams that need a shared workspace
One account is one person. Your boards, sheets, clients and files are scoped to you, and there is no way to share a board with a colleague or give someone limited access. If two people need to edit the same thing, this is the wrong tool.
Anyone who needs accounting or actual BIR filing
The tax calculator estimates what you would owe. It does not file anything, it is not connected to the BIR, and it is not a substitute for an accountant.
Agencies running a sales pipeline at volume
The client list is a record of work and money, not a CRM with automations, sequences, reporting or permissions. If you outgrew a spreadsheet years ago, you have outgrown this too.
People working outside the Philippines
The job boards, the ID guides, the tax calculator and the payment methods are all built around the Philippines. The browser tools work anywhere; most of the reason to be here does not.
Anyone who wants a desktop or offline app
It is a website. Close the tab and the assistant, the boards and the chat are gone until you open it again.
What it replaces
For most members it replaces three job board tabs, a spreadsheet of applications, a notes app holding client details, and a folder of bookmarked converter sites.
Compared on scope rather than on feature lists, because a feature list about somebody else's product is out of date the week it is written.
| What people usually do | What this does instead |
|---|---|
| Three job board tabs, checked by hand | One list, filterable, with the boards collected on a schedule so you are not refreshing anything. |
| A spreadsheet of applications | The same columns, plus a status you can change from the row and a nudge when something has gone quiet. |
| A note-taking app for client work | A general note app will hold anything, which is why the hours and the invoice totals end up somewhere else. Here they are fields that add up. |
| A folder of one-off converter websites | The same conversions, run on your own machine, so the file never leaves it. |
| Nothing at all for the paperwork | Thirty sourced guides and a tax calculator, because the alternative was a comment thread on Facebook. |
Where your data goes
The file tools never upload anything. The PDF tools, the converter, the compressor, the background remover, the upscaler, the screenshot reader and the transcriber all run inside your browser on your own machine.
What does reach a server is what has to: your account, the jobs you save, your clients and invoices, and anything you type at the AI assistant. Every company that touches any of it is named on the trust page, and the privacy policy says what is kept and for how long. You can delete your account yourself, and it takes your data with it.
Who builds it
Kenneth Villar, a Certified GoHighLevel Admin based in the Philippines, working as BrewedOps. It is not a company, a funded startup or a team.
Kape Tools is what BrewedOps became. The tools, the job board and the community moved here. There is a fuller account of the work on the about page, and two builds written up in detail as case studies.
What members say
5 out of 5 from 18 ratings by 14 people, left on BrewedOps between 2026-03-30 and 2026-06-30.
These are reviews of BrewedOps, the platform Kape Tools grew out of, so they are dated before this workspace existed. They are printed exactly as they were written, typos and Taglish included, because the build refuses to publish a quote that is not a word-for-word substring of the member's own message. Two of them name things that shipped straight into this product: the OnlineJobs.ph board and BrewedYT2Text.
BrewedOps is such a great platform. It has so many useful tools like ATS Resume, Job Board, Claude Code, and a lot more. Everything is easy to find and navigate, which makes it a really solid resource for anyone who wants to grow their skills.
Kenneth explains things in a way that makes complex ideas feel simple and actionable, without making you feel overwhelmed.
Kenneth is incredibly generous in sharing his knowledge with the group and consistently goes above and beyond by committing long hours in the chat to guide fellow HLA members who are new to advanced AI skills.
From the very basics of installation to more advanced concepts, everything was explained in a way that was easy to understand even for beginners like me.
Lalo nayung OLJ job board parang freelancing hacks so sobrang bilis mag refresh!

The only paid plan is Pro at ₱499 a month, which covers the features that call a paid AI model every time you press the button. There is no trial period, no card is stored and nothing renews by itself.
Who should not use Kape Tools?
Teams needing a shared workspace, anyone who needs real accounting or BIR filing, agencies running a sales pipeline at volume, and people working outside the Philippines. One account is one person, and most of the product is built around Philippine work.
Is Kape Tools only for Filipinos?
Anyone can sign up and the browser-side tools work anywhere. The job boards, the government ID guides, the freelancer tax calculator and the payment methods are all Philippine-specific, so most of the reason to use it does not travel.
Do my files get uploaded when I use the tools?
No. The PDF tools, the file converter, the image compressor, the background remover, the upscaler, the screenshot reader and the audio transcriber all run inside your browser on your own machine. The file is not sent to a server and it is not stored.
