If a friend asked me which Chrome extension I've built is my favorite, I'd probably have to cheat a little and say two: Clipboard+ and MarkUpShot. For personal productivity, they're my go-to pair—one handles everything I copy, and the other lets me create shareable screenshots super fast. Together, they save me piles of time at my job as a QA engineer.
To stay focused and motivated, I also use Blockme MotherFocus. It helps me stay in flow, track where my time goes, and eliminate distractions. And most importantly, all of them are privacy-first by design.

🖼️ Why MarkUpShot
MarkUpShot is the fastest way I know to turn raw screenshots into clear, useful visuals. I use it for tutorials, bug reports, and more.
