Ah, Craigslist, what would we do without you? If you’re like me, you can’t fathom finding anything—from jobs to housing—without CL. And once you use CLIP, you’ll never again search Craigslist without it.

As we were packing to leave Iowa in 1997 my best friend announced she’d secured an apartment in San Francisco, thanks to an email list from a nice guy named Craig Newmark. Some things never change, and Craigslist search results are still a long list of tempting–or confusing–descriptions. You take your best guess, open one up, see the picture and get the details. But of all the links you open, how many are really worth it? Thanks to CLIP you can stop guessing and quickly scan through images from all your results without opening up anything. So install CLIP now and get back to shopping for that blue velvet couch like the one you saw in Amelie. This time it will be easy.
