1. Grammarly
If you’re in the writing business, this one’s a no-brainer. Grammarly has been around for a while, but it’s still one of the best tools for keeping your writing concise, clear, and engaging. Whether you’re working on blogs, articles, or even emails, Grammarly will catch those little mistakes in grammar or expression that you might miss. It’s your silent writing assistant, and honestly, once you start using it, you’ll wonder how you ever wrote without it.
2. ClickUp
I only recently stumbled upon ClickUp, and let me tell you—it’s a game-changer. Picture this: a floating button on your screen that acts as a versatile assistant, helping you take notes, manage your tabs, and more. Whether you’re juggling multiple projects or just trying to stay organized, ClickUp helps you streamline everything without breaking a sweat. It’s one of those tools you didn’t know you needed until you start using it.
3. MailTrack
If you’re sending out cold emails or working in any field where email communication is key, MailTrack is a must-have. This extension lets you know when your emails are received and opened and how many times they’ve been viewed. It’s especially useful for tracking the progress of important messages, giving you insights into who’s paying attention to your emails—and who’s not. No more wondering whether your emails have gone into the abyss!
4. Noisli
Ever tried to focus but couldn’t because the noise around you wasn’t quite right? Noisli to the rescue. This extension lets you play background sounds that keep you in the zone. From coffee shop chatter to rain or white noise, Noisli has a variety of tracks that help you focus. Whether you’re in a noisy office or working from home, this extension creates the perfect environment for deep work.
5. Loom
Loom is a lifesaver if you ever need to record your screen and yourself at the same time. It’s perfect for educators, creators, or anyone making tutorial videos. The best part? You don’t need a separate app for this—it’s all in one. You can quickly record a video, explain something visually, and share it with your team or audience without any hassle. Super convenient, right?
6. Workona
And here’s the last one—Workona. If you’re someone who has 20 tabs open at once (guilty!), Workona helps you manage them all with ease. It allows you to organize your tabs by workspace, so everything stays tidy, and you can switch between different projects without losing track of where you were. It’s a lifesaver for multitaskers and anyone who works across multiple projects at once.
