Basically is a modern guide to everyday living, offering practical advice, smart tools, and real-world product reviews across money, health, food, travel, and tech.

Basically is for anyone who wants life to feel more manageable. Whether you’re organizing your budget, learning how to cook, or finding smarter tools for everyday living, you’ll find help here.

It’s both. Basically blends trusted editorial content with hands-on tools and product recommendations designed to simplify life.

We focus on areas that help readers improve their everyday life: from meal prep and budgeting to home maintenance and digital tools. Each article is researched and written by real people, not algorithms.

Sometimes we use AI tools to help with research or formatting, but every article is written, edited, and fact-checked by our human team. We use tech to make things faster, not to replace real expertise.

We update weekly, with new guides, product comparisons, and advice columns every Sunday.

Smart Tools are free, interactive features that help you save time and make informed decisions — like our Grocery Deal Finder, Home Project Calculator, and Recipe Helper.

Yes, every tool on Basically is completely free to use.
