I built it originally as a language learning aid, a way to simplify complex text into plain English for those learning English. If you find other uses for it, I'd love to hear them.

SimpleRead lets you highlight any text on a webpage, click Simplify, and it rewrites it in plain English directly on the page. No tab switching, no copy-pasting, no sending your text anywhere.

I chose Chrome's built-in Gemini Nano model specifically because it runs entirely on your device. No API calls, no subscription to an AI service, no text ever leaving your computer.

The main constraint worth knowing upfront: it requires Chrome 138+, around 22GB of free storage, and a capable GPU or 16GB+ RAM, so it won't work for everyone. But if your machine can handle it, it's fast and works on any webpage.

Includes a 5-day unlimited trial. Currently English only and in active development.

It's called SimpleRead and it's free to try on the Chrome Web Store. Feedback welcome.

I created this extension as I was concerned about the number of old accounts linked with different email addresses I have. I became more concerned about privacy and my data but couldn't find an easy way to check what emails are account related.

You export your emails as an MBOX file (Google Takeout makes this easy), load it into the extension (the video doesn't show the window for choosing the file), and it scans locally on your device to find every service you've signed up for. No data leaves your computer. The extension requires zero permissions and makes zero network calls.

It also flags active subscriptions (which are also easy to forget about) and gives you direct links to account deletion pages (using a subset of an open data project called justdeleteme (no affiliation)), so you can more easily do something about it.

Built with plain JS and no framework; all the parsing happens in a Web Worker so even large mailboxes don't freeze the browser.

It's called find my accounts and it's free on the Chrome Web Store. Appreciate any feedback.
