Hi Amanda, thanks so much for putting this list together and building this space! I'd love to make a small contribution to help out the devs here.

I'm Guille, and I work with GoalsWon (https://www.goalswon.com). We offer free 1:1 accountability coaching to people in the EA ecosystem. If you think you or others on your team could benefit from a bit of extra structure and support to stay productive, we'd be happy to open up free access.

Through our Giving Back program (which is a 1-for-1 model entirely funded by our commercial clients), we give away fully funded, 100% free pro-bono slots to impact-driven operators. You get paired with a real human coach (not an AI or a bot) who checks in with you daily via our app to help you map out targets, review progress, and stick to your deep work milestones.

If you want a daily accountability coach in your corner to help you stay focused on your project, you can read the details and grab a free slot right here:
👉 https://www.goalswon.com/giving-back/?ref=hie-github

Feel free to reply here or message me if you want to chat about how it works. I hope this helps a few of you keep making an impact!

Cheers,🙏
Guille
