Try it yourself · no install needed

Paste an email. Watch the jargon die.

Below is a live example. Clear it and paste a real email of your own (it never leaves your browser), and Buzzkill translates the corporate-speak live, then ranks how bad it is.

Team, as we operationalize our learnings and circle back, let's double-click on the low-hanging fruit and leverage our core synergies.
Before you send

Catch yourself in the act.

A live counter tallies the jargon in your draft. Try to send with buzzwords still in it and a guard stops you. Fix them one tap at a time, or hit "Swap all to plain English" and ship something human.

Thanks for the call. I'll circle back once we align internally so we can leverage the right resources to make real progress.

Worst offenders

Your inbox is now a leaderboard.

Every sender gets ranked by how much jargon they sling and how senior it sounds. Finally, receipts on who in the company talks like a press release. Screenshot it for the group chat. Yes, you're on it too.

Now on LinkedIn

Your feed is wall-to-wall thought leadership. We brought subtitles.

Turn it on for LinkedIn (you opt in and grant access) and every post in your feed gets a dark Buzzkill bar up top that escalates by how bad it is: Plain-spoken if you're lucky, Mild corporate-speak if you're not, Fluent Corporate when it's really cooking, complete with a live buzzword count and a Corporate Rank from Intern to Executive. Then it ranks the most corporate people in your feed, because someone has to.

Humbled and honored to share that we are working together to move the needle on a paradigm shift. Huge thanks to my rockstar team for the deep dive. Thoughts?

Buzzword Bingo

Win by your coworkers' jargon.

Buzzkill deals you a 5x5 card and the squares mark themselves as real emails use the phrases. You can complete a line off a single all-hands email. There is an achievement literally called Name and Shame. We are not sorry.

We can't leak your email. We don't have a server.

No backend, no analytics, no tracking. Buzzkill reads your open email and your draft only to do its job, entirely inside the page, and keeps your stats on your own machine. The one network call it makes is fetching a small layout-fix file, so it keeps working when Gmail or LinkedIn change their design, and that request carries none of your data. Nothing about you is ever transmitted, sold, or seen by anyone but you.

100% local, by design

Questions, answered without jargon

No "it depends," no "let's take this offline."
Does it actually read my email?Only the one you have open, and only on your machine. The one call it ever makes is for a small layout-fix file, and it does not take your email along for the ride.
How much does it cost?Spotting jargon is free forever: Buzzkill highlights the buzzwords and, on hover, tells you what each one actually means, on Gmail and LinkedIn. The pro tools (the one-click swap, the send-guard, Corporate Rank, the clarity check, Bingo, and the leaderboards) come as a 7-day free trial, no card. After that they are a one-time $7 for the core. Expansion packs are $3 each, all three for $7, or everything for $10. No subscription, no account. You activate the license inside the extension (the Chrome store can't take the payment).
Will my boss find out?Not unless they install it too and spot their own name on the worst-offenders leaderboard, in your inbox or your LinkedIn feed. Awkward, but not on us.
Does it work on LinkedIn?Yes, if you switch it on. LinkedIn is opt-in: you enable it and grant access, then Buzzkill bars every post in your feed by severity, from Plain-spoken to Fluent Corporate, counts the buzzwords, and ranks the most corporate people you follow. Reading happens in the page, on your machine, same as Gmail.
What if I genuinely enjoy saying "synergy"?You can mute any phrase in the settings. We'll keep judging you, quietly, locally.

Gift it to your most corporate coworker.

Know someone who has never met a synergy they didn't like? Buy them Buzzkill. One payment, the whole thing forever, and you get a link to hand them yourself. The kindest way to tell a colleague their emails need subtitles.
