Real people. Checked sources. Free tools. That's MDApp.
For a decade, our small team has kept 630+ clinical tools free, used over 50 million times. As AI search reroutes the web around sites like ours, it's the people who use MDApp who keep it standing. It only takes 2,500 of us.
What's changed, and how we keep going.
First search and social.
Now AI.
For years, a handful of tech giants have decided what reaches people through search and social feeds. Now AI answers take the credit for work like ours. Fewer people find MDApp each month, and a decade of free tools is now at risk.

With 2,500 members behind it, every tool stays free and up to date, and MDApp keeps growing towards its next milestone.
The Dispatch. For members only.
News from behind the desk, a say in what comes next, and 2,500 copies an issue. It's our thank-you.
Like a lot of publishers, I've watched the search landscape change fast under AI, and the traffic that quietly kept it all running is fading.
Rather than put the tools behind a paywall, we started the Dispatch: a way for the people who use MDApp to keep our team going, and to be part of where it heads next.
I'm not ready to give up what MDApp has stood for all these years: trustworthy tools, free and open to anyone who needs them. And the people who take part are what make sure I don't have to.
