The following is a collected list of programs/tools for Neopets which make it easier to navigate the website or help you understand the game better.

Neopets

Neopets Premium

Not a program, but a whole new login and playing experience. Neopets Premium is a paid service provided by Neopets.

Neopets Toolbar

A toolbar Neopets provides to users, offering quicklinks.

Outside Neopets

While there are programs you can use outside of Neopets, it should be noted no user is allowed to use outside coding to play the game for them, or to gain an unfair advantage. The NeoDex does not endorse cheating of any kind, and doing so will either get a user suspended for a period of time or Frozen.

Mozilla Firefox

Mozilla Firefox is a web broswer. It has gained popularity with it's easy to use interface, and more advanced options than other Internet browsers. Extensions, or add on programs, can be added to it to change how Firefox displays web pages. For example, some extensions can block banner ads and pop-ups placed within websites, including Neopets.

ImproveNeo

ImproveNeo began as a Greasemonkey script being developed by Littlemac from the NeoDaq forums. With the script, users can remove ads, have stocks recommended to them, dynamically look-up Shop Wizard prices, have the script alert them to under-priced items, and hide user's shop descriptions so as to make buying items easier. On (need date), ImproveNeo joined up with the item database of NeoItems.net, adding a new dimesion to searching for items by adding price listings.

The first version of the script, 0.1, was released to the general public on February 19, 2006. Since then, it has been updated many times, with 0.8 being the latest version. Because of the features ImproveNeo provides, the legality of the program is debatable, and should be used with caution.
