List of best Chrome extensions for household (2024)
1. Catadoo
If you’re a productive person, you might start your day with a to-do list. But as usual, to-do lists are simply notes that seem boring a bit. This is where Catadoo comes in.
Catadoo is a unique and innovative to-do list extension for Chrome that brings a playful and gamified approach to task management.
When you complete your tasks, you earn crystals, which can then be used to purchase food and other resources to keep Turbo (virtual pet) healthy and happy. However, if tasks are neglected, Turbo’s health will deteriorate, and the user may ultimately witness the demise of their virtual pet.
This dynamic creates a compelling incentive to stay on top of one’s responsibilities, as the user’s actions directly impact the fate of their beloved Turbo.
Key features:
- Gamified to-do list with a virtual cat companion named Turbo
- Complete tasks to earn crystals, the in-game currency
- Use crystals to buy food and other resources to keep Turbo healthy
- Neglecting tasks causes Turbo’s health to deteriorate over time
- Create subtasks for main to-do list items

At first, the Money Manager asks you to simply set a budget on which basis, it starts to track your spending.
As you make purchases or incur expenses, the amounts are automatically deducted from your allotted budget. This provides a real-time view of your remaining funds.
