There’s a good chance you’re using Google at least once per day. The search engine behemoth receives over 228m searches per hour. 🤯
Today’s tool should make searching more efficient and eliminate some open tabs.
It’s called ‘Google Results Previewer.’
This free Google Chrome extension allows you to view web pages from search results without any clicks, directly from Google.

Whether you’re trying to find a micro-influencer or plan next month’s content calendar, one thing is for certain; it takes time. It doesn’t have to though.
Today’s tool comes in the form of a real human being. For only $49/month, you get to choose from hundreds of fully trained marketing apprentices that are eager to show off their skills.
We’ve personally used GenM and are big fans. From content writing to social media and everything in between, you get 40 hours of work per month for only $49 bucks.

Sorry Android folks, today’s tool is only available for iOS.
It’s called BG Eraser.
It uses AI to erase backgrounds, change object colors, and much more.
Give it a try below.
Stock GIFs
How many of you remember when Unsplash launched? There weren’t many photos on the platform, but you could tell it was going to be awesome.
Well, today’s tool is kind of like Unsplash, but for GIFs.
There aren’t many available at the moment, but we have a good feeling about this one.
Measure Anything
If you’re like us, you wear a lot of hats on the job.
Sometimes, you need to know the size of an image or element on a website…(and quickly).
If that’s you, say hi to your new best friend; PixelSnap.
PixelSnap 2 is a macOS app that makes it super easy to measure anything on your screen.
Blur it Out
Have you ever wanted to hide sensitive information on a web page?
Example: You need to send a client a few screenshots, but there’s sensitive information on the page.
Here’s a tool for ya.
It’s called BlurPage. It allows you to blur any element on a page, such as an input, a link, an email address, an image, etc.
Download the Google Chrome extension and get your blur on.
Care Cards
Considering it’s Monday, we thought this tool was fitting and/or just kind of fun to play with.
It’s called ‘Care Cards.’
Care Cards are your reminder to take care of yourself, one little tip at a time. Give it a try.
What color is it?
Here’s a cool one.
Color-Palette. This nifty tool extracts up to 10 dominating colors from your image.
It also gives you the hex codes. We give it 👍 x 2.
