Lifehacker is an advertising-supported weblog about life hacks and software which launched on January 31, 2005. The site is owned by Gawker Media and covers Microsoft Windows, Mac, and Linux programs as well as time-saving tips and tricks. The staff updates the site about 18 times each weekday, with reduced updates on weekends.

The Lifehacker motto is "Tips and downloads for getting things done." In addition, Lifehacker has two international editions, Lifehacker Australia and Lifehacker Japan, which feature most posts from the U.S edition along with extra content specific to local readers. Founding editor Gina Trapani was the sole Lifehacker blogger until September 2005, when two associate editors joined her. Adam Pash is the current lead editor, joined by Kevin Purdy and Jason Fitzpatrick as associate editors.

Former associate editors include Wendy Boswell, Rick Broida, D. Keith Robinson,, Erica Sadun, and Jackson West. Currently, Lifehacker has one contributing editor, The How To Geek , and formerly, Tamar Weinberg.

Lifehacker's frequent guest posts have included articles by Matt Haughey, Eszter Hargittai, Jason Thomas, Stewart Rutledge, Joe Anderson, Jeff Jarvis, Meg Hourihan, and Erik Benson.
