The Great Suspender

People spend a hefty chunk of time online. Be it personal use or for work, we demand a lot from our computers. If Chrome is your go-to browser and you love keeping tabs (literally), then ease up your computer’s resources with The Great Suspender.

This Chrome extension frees up some of the memory Chrome uses by suspending tabs that you haven’t clicked for a designated amount of time. This means you can keep those tabs without them straining your CPU. You can choose which tabs to suspend and even auto-detect which ones are playing audio so music and podcast streams will keep playing.

Unclack

Keyboard technology has come a long way – from the oldest typewriters to curved ergonomic keyboards or even laser projected keyboards. But most keyboards have in common a distinct click-clack-click-clack. Luckily Unclack helps to stifle this noise on your video calls.

This helpful app automatically mutes your microphone while you’re on a video call so others can’t be bothered with your keys chiming in. It’s compatible with all video conferencing platforms and it’s easy to toggle on and off.

Mobile Monkey

Conversation with your audience is key. An open line of communication is necessary for you to address your audience’s needs. Check out Mobile Monkey and get up and running with an AI chatbot.

Mobile Monkey works across your website, SMS, Facebook Messenger, and Instagram so your audience can reach you with ease. You’ll receive all your communications in a unified place so you can waste no time in addressing customer questions and concerns.

Miro

Interpreting data can be tricky. Visuals help us present data in ways we can easily understand and digest. When you’re mapping your customer journey and assisted conversions, create a visualization with Miro.

This tool is excellent for easily charting relationships, defining processes, or just creating a mind map. When you uncover Assisted Conversions insights in Google Analytics, chart them in Miro for a simple bird’s eye view of the parts your digital channels play in the path to purchase.

Scalemail

When it comes to word of mouth, sharing is easier when something is easy to share. People will be less likely to refer your business if it’s a hassle to do. While you grow your newsletter subscriber list, Scalemail makes referrals easier than ever.

Scalemail has allowed us to include a simple way for our readers to share The Daily Carnage with friends, family, and colleagues. What’s more, it allows referrers to rack up points and earn things like stickers, notebooks, coffee mugs, and socks. It’s our home-grown solution, and it works just as easily for your newsletter.

Unroll.Me

This tool presents you with a list of all your subscription emails so you can easily decide which ones to get rid of. Furthermore, you can bundle together all the subscription emails you want into an easy-to-read subscription digest.
