What's your favorite 'little' tool at the moment?
By little tool, I don't mean it took a small amount of effort, I mean it does one day-to-day, small task. For me it's probably @Xnapper . It allows me to take beautiful screenshots surrounded by stunning backgrounds in literally a few seconds, where as I used to spend time chucking my screenshots into Figma and playing with the padding to make them look nice. I can't even guess how much time this has saved me

TextExpander. Probably use it 100s of times a day. Still waiting for someone to add AI to something like that.
I use @TextExpander a ton, too. What would the AI part of it do? Like pre-send a prompt using something you copy via clipboard?
@sentry_co Glad to hear you are finding value with TextExpander. And you might be onto something with that AI idea! ;)
Tab Slayer
it's not super little, but I used to spend a lot of time generating "reports" that I would share with my friends in the fire community. I made a tool that turns my bank and cc statements into a dashboard. It makes it quick to share views like my per/month grocery spend in 2024, or see how my credit card spend keeps going up each year...
Definitely Shottr. The OCR snapshot tool has become a regular part of my workflow, even when designing.
@jeffrey_karl1 Came here to say @Shottr . It's so good!
I use a plugin for Chrome a million times a day called Immersive Translator. It will add the language I want underneath the original text of a web page and the two languages can understand each other. It's so convenient!
For me, the little tool that’s been a lifesaver is the OneTab extension. It lets me save all my open tabs with one click and easily restore them later when I need to. As someone who constantly has 50+ tabs open (ADHD brain, anyone? 😅), it’s a game-changer for staying organized and not losing track of important pages.

I used to jump between different apps and browser tabs for quick tasks, but now @Raycast handles it all instantly :)
