A Chrome extension that mutes and skips barking dogs, doorbells and other trigger sounds in Netflix shows so a reactive dog stays calm. Free for five movies, then a one-time $15 unlock, no subscription.

Pay onceNo subscription

What to know▼

How it works: A Chrome extension that automatically detects and skips or mutes mapped trigger sounds — barking dogs, doorbells, loud noises — while watching Netflix, so a noise-reactive dog stays calm.
What's different: Uses a hand-mapped catalog of trigger moments rather than generic audio filtering.
Pricing: Free for 5 flagship movies, then a $15 one-time fee for the full catalog; no subscription.
Best for: People with noise-reactive dogs who want to watch Netflix without pausing to mute triggering sounds.
Watch out: Only works on Netflix, and only for movies that have been hand-mapped into the catalog.

Foldif

Live

Keeps the good parts of your AI chats. It sits on top of ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini in the browser, lets you highlight answers and annotate them in the margin, then pulls the keepers into a document you can export.

No subscription

What to know▼

How it works: Installs as a browser extension (Chrome, Edge, Brave, Arc) and adds highlighting and margin notes directly on the chat pages you already use. Selections collect into a "book" you can export as PDF, HTML, Markdown or PNG.
What's different: Covers three assistants rather than one — a thread can move between ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini. Notes stay on the page where you made them instead of in a separate app you have to remember to open.
Pricing: Free tier: no credit card, no time limit. Pro is $89/year or $249 lifetime; the first 100 buyers get a $79 one-time Founder Lifetime.
Best for: People who use more than one AI assistant every day and keep losing good answers in the scroll-back — researchers, writers, and students who turn answers into flashcards.
Watch out: Needs an account. Storage is local by default and cloud sync is opt-in and encrypted (the site says AES-256-GCM), but sync still means the data leaves your machine. Every claim here is the product's own — we have not verified the encryption.
