1. 8^8
Could there be another you? This is the most interesting website on the list. 8^8 has eight questions about what kind of person you are and matches you with somebody who answered all eight the exact same way you did. It takes less than five minutes, and who knows—maybe there is someone out there just like you, maybe even for you. No account needed. Just provide your email at the end so they can notify you when they found a match. Then wait for the inevitable.
2. Eat This Much
This is your diet saver. It formulates a menu and a grocery list of foods to eat based on your calorie amount, schedule, budget, and taste. ETM shows you the right way to stay on a healthy diet and that it is possible to do it no matter what circumstance. There is nothing holding you back now.
3. Google Trends
Google Trends allows you to visualize the top Google searches in a whole new way. Find out what is new and see trends form in real time. Use it as an informative screensaver or to check up on the latest. If you want to know everything about the statistics, try out just trends but don't get sucked too far down the rabbit hole.
4. Keep
5. Medium
Host curated stories for you. Personalize your content by selecting what interests you or what you want to learn more about. Recommend interesting articles to people you trust across the web. You can even start your own portfolio or blog. You could be the next blog sensation.
6. Niice
The search engine built for style. Explore websites that excel at design you never knew existed. No false websites or sketchy domains. Just pure, solid good taste that makes you say niice.
7. Pixel Thoughts
Become stress-free within 60 seconds. A simple experience to relieve yourself from whatever it is that is bumming you out. It brings you back to your senses and allows you to move on.
8. Cold Turkey
Not to quit smoking, but to quit the Internet. If you're a frequent procrastinator like me, then you know how hard it is to stay on task, especially while sitting in front of a computer that has access to millions of websites, photos, gifs, memes, and videos—lots and lots of cat videos. Cold Turkey blocks that. It prevents you from getting off track by blocking the Internet's goodies. It even blocks your favorite applications and programs installed on your computer. Cold Turkey is your workstation minimized to just your task at hand, and it is fully customizable to schedule breaks, allow exceptions, and set a timer to push your efforts even further.
9. F.lux
This website dims the lights when it gets dark to reduce stress on your eyes. Staring at a bright computer screen for hours in the dark can strain and damage your eyes. F.lux creates a subtle hue that gradually radiates throughout the day depending on the time and your location.
10. Noisli or Noiz
Stay focused with soothing background/white noise. Make yourself feel like you're in a bustling coffee shop, surrounded by wildlife in the forest or inches away from the crashing waves on the beach. If you want, you can combine different options to make it sound like you're in a coffee shop during a thunderstorm or sitting beside a campfire on a cool, breezy summer night in the woods. Adjust the noise to help you avoid distractions and complete your projects or to sit back and relax.
11. Paper Rater
Self-explanatory and a life saver (grade saver). Insert your paper and get feedback before you submit that sucker so you can get that A+ you've dreamt of, maybe even a promotion.
