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 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. Players who do so will either be 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.

NeoDaq.xls

ImproveNeo

(( The NeoDex does not endorse the following program, its creators, or what it will allow you to accomplish on Neopets. This is merely here for historical purposes, and nothing more. --Jacob 19:01, 17 Apr 2006 (CDT) ))


ImproveNeo began as a Greasemonkey script being developed by a user within the Neodaq Forum. 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 delete user's shop descriptions so as to make buying items easier.

The first version of the script, 0.1, was released to the general public on February 19th 2006. Since then, it has been updated many times, with 0.6 being the latest version.

At this point, the legality of the program is up in the air. The creator himself mentioned using the program is risky, as it could get you frozen. (and TNT knowing about the project would get him in trouble). Until more word is brought forth on how Neopets feels about this, use of the program should be held with caution.

Star Maps

During the Altador Plot, certain users of Neopets were able to decode the workings of the stars and present programs for people to use, which allowed people to find their stars better.

Mattrepublic

This one is like the boomspeed one, but completes the starmap for those unable, or unwilling to find it on the flash animation of boomspeed. Loading time is also faster.
