SessionBuddy is a chrome application that helps you to organize the tabs in the browser. At a time when all tabs are important and all readings are urgent (;), this application is useful to save the session.
Look at an example below:
- Session directory

Mindly is a mobile app which is very useful to create mind maps. Mind maps are helpful to put all the unopened tabs of your brain on a single page. The visualization helps in the definition of thoughts. The Mindly app does that by being no-frills and focusing on the objective.
Here’s an example:
