Productivity & Everyday Utilities continued
33. Picture of the day
Picture of the day automatically refreshes your desktop with a new image each day.
The extension can obtain wallpapers from Bing and Wikimedia and can display credit information for the current image.
It’s a simple idea, but daily wallpaper rotation provides a pleasant amount of variety without requiring you to hunt for images or configure a more elaborate wallpaper manager.
This is a different, actively maintained extension from the older Picture of the Day project previously featured in this roundup.

34. Emoji Copy
Emoji Copy is a versatile extension designed to make finding and copying emoji quick and painless.
Instead of opening a separate application or searching the web, you can select an emoji directly from GNOME Shell and copy it ready for use in another application.
It’s lightweight, immediately understandable and particularly useful if you frequently use emoji in messaging, social media or other writing.
If you need more functionality, we’ve also compiled a roundup of the finest desktop GUI emoji pickers.

35. Todoit
Todoit is a simple to-do list that keeps daily tasks close at hand.
You can add, remove and copy tasks, mark their progress and focus attention on a specific task by bringing it to the top of the list.
There’s also a keyboard shortcut for quickly showing the extension.
It deliberately avoids the complexity of full project-management software. If all you need is a small list of things to get done today, Todoit may be all you need.

36. Caffeine
Caffeine is one of the simplest extensions included in this roundup.
It prevents the screen from blanking and stops automatic suspension when you need the machine to remain awake.
This is useful during presentations, long downloads, remote sessions, media playback and other situations where automatic power-saving behaviour would be inconvenient.
It’s a simple toggle for a common problem, which helps explain Caffeine’s enduring popularity among GNOME users.
