like 50 accessibility and product...

AMAZING app. I am a researcher and writer with learning and information processing challenges. The Helperbird app is like 50 accessibility and productivity apps in one. It has absolutely transformed my research process and experience to make it so much easier. No switching between multiple extensions.

declutter a page

It's easy to use with every webpage since it's just an extension. You can access lots of different functions to declutter a page (show only the relevant text and not ads, for example). You can add post it notes to annotate, and it has things like text-to-speech.
