About PlainManual

PlainManual is an independent publication about tech tutorials for everyone. Four regular writers, one rule: we only publish what we have actually tried. Every guide is tested in a real home, on a real schedule, with a real budget — then written up with the honest parts left in.

Our promise is simple: no sponsored posts, no rewritten press releases, and no advice we would not follow ourselves. When something does not work, we say so — those pieces are often the most useful ones on the site.
