Gramps tools allow you to perform various types of analysis of your genealogical data. Typically, the tools do not produce output in form of printouts or files. Instead, they produce screen output immediately available for the researcher. However, when appropriate, you can save the results of running a tool into a file. Tools present one of the major strengths of Gramps compared to the most genealogical software.
{{man note|Additional Tools |Starting with Gramps version 3.2 a new system was implemented to have even more tools available. This system is controlled by the [[Gramps_4.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Plugin_Manager|'''Plugin Manager''']]. The Plugin Manager can get additional [[Plugins4.2|'''Addons''']] for you.}}

The tools can be accessed by choosing the menu {{man menu|Tools ->''Tool Section'' ->''Particular Tool''}} . Alternatively, you can browse the complete selection of available tools along with their brief descriptions in a '''Tool Selection''' dialog invoked by clicking the {{man button|Tools}} icon on the toolbar.
