Loom is an extension that shows us the power of video.

With this extension, you can record your screen, voice and face to create an instantly shareable video in seconds.With interactive feedback and comments throughout the timeline, it's never been easier to share a design with voice commentary, give a product demonstration or send a video to your colleagues.

"I use Loom to create a link with my prospects in a period marked by social distancing. In particular, I have replaced my usual emails and voice messages with videos made with Loom, which allow me to present what I have to say to my prospects while introducing myself in a more natural way to them."
Station is the browser extension that helps you move from one application to another, from one note to another, from one message to another. With a search bar connected to all your favorite applications (and there are 670 available) you can view all your information directly from the extension and get there with one click. Switch from a Slack channel, to a Google Sheet document or a Pitch presentation directly from the Station extension.

A password manager extension? 1password is for you. Effortlessly save your passwords and secure every account in one place. Thanks to this Chrome extension, you will only have one password to remember: the master password of your account. 1password goes even further with a subscription, offering you to share some passwords with your team. Thanks to this collaboration, no need to make secure files for newcomers in your company: you just have to add them on 1password. They'll have direct access to the shared passwords on your company space. The most convenient feature? The automatic filling on the different sites.
The opinion of Benjamin, our CEO:
"1Password has allowed me to really change the way I manage my passwords. Faced with quite a lot of news about password theft and dissemination, it is important to always use a full password (24 characters for my part), different on each site, and if possible, enable 2FA. The Chrome extension to have an advanced password manager integration is a must!"
RemoteBoard is a Chrome extension for internal communication. You can display your intranet information and internal tools in the new browser tab.

Charlotte, Junior Marketing:
"A very handy extension for managing group cohesion and passing on information within a telecommuting team, but not only that. The possibility to update the RemoteBoard with a gif or a weather forecast gives us an extra reason to take a look at our new tab every day. Not to mention, of course, all the new presentations, future events, replays and KPIs that are just a click away."
We couldn't introduce you to our favorite Chrome extensions without mentioning Slack Emojis. If, like us, you use Slack for your team conversations, you'll want to download this extension.

Useful to be notified of your collaborators reactions when you send a document or ask a question on a Slack channel. The application is 100% free, very easy to use but it is also a side-project developed by our COO Simon. Something to be proud of.
