To help combat the summer heatwave, we want to share with you some cool and useful resources. Check out what our team – that’s not on vacation right now – uses as a pastime right now.

1. TooManyTabs for Chrome

Do you also have too many tabs open? We know the problem! TooManyTabs cleans up your desktop by organizing your open tabs. This is a must-have extension for the sanity of neat-freaks everywhere. Organize your tabs by creation time, domain or title, preview each tab’s content, and restore recently closed tabs. Instead of keeping all those tabs active, which can eat up your computer’s memory, it creates a “waiting area” where tabs can sit. They are still visible, but do not use memory or take up space.

Watch the Youtube Video if you want to see how it could help you organize your browser.

2. Nimbus

The Nimbus Screen Capture Tool is ideal for your screen recording needs. Nimbus can capture and share content from sites through an extension available on various web browsers. Need help remembering important information or inspiration found on the web? Nimbus offers different ways to capture various parts or even entire web pages. It can take a full shot or just grab what you want. Use it later for doodling, to make annotations, or mark up an image to create customized results.

3. A Soft Murmur

Music can inspire or energize us, but sometimes we simply want to relax and wind down. A Soft Murmur hosts a range of calming sound clips like rainfall, wind, and fire, coffee shop, or white noise, and lets you listen to them at different volumes and on top of one another. It can be a fantastic way to help you fall asleep after a long day at work or calm your nerves before a big meeting. There are several websites and apps that can do this for you, but Soft Murmur is unique in that it allows you to create a personal relaxing sound profile. Save sounds to your device and even give them your own title.

4. Seterra Geography

Looking for a map quiz to learn geography? Look no further. Seterra Geography is an entertaining and educational geography game that gives you access to over 300 customizable quizzes. You can challenge your knowledge about countries, capitals, flags, oceans, lakes, and much more. Each exercise has a high score list to keep track of your progress.

5. Disconnect

Feeling watched all the time when you’re online? And we’re not talking about your boss checking on your productivity. Disconnect is a privacy and security software suite which has been integrated into a VPN service to stop sites from tracking your movements on the web while also blocking third-party cookies. It gives you control over site scripts and protects your privacy. Disconnect believes you should be able to control all information that is being collected about you, as well as, who has access to it while browsing the Internet.
