Great apps, tools, software... What do you use?

[SiuLung]

Professionally:

Make.com (former Integromat)

Great tool to automate processes and integrate other tools you use with each other (kinda like Zapier but with more flexibility).
It's the platform I work with at my job that consists of automating processes.

Slack -> replaced 100 % of internal emails
Gather -> to maintain cohesion with colleagues (we all work from home)
Notion -> for documentation

And a few other tools that are too industry specific at my current job, they would not interest you (telecom networks)

Personally:

Timetree: a simple calendar that you can share with other people. My girlfriend and I use it to stay updated on what we have coming up (dinner with friends, trips, etc.) as I tend to forget this kind of stuff.

I'll suggest two more:

Dubb and BombBomb for sending video emails.

Bombbomb has the better overall platform (imho)

Dubb, on the other hand, gives you most of the same features as BombBomb for less than half the cost.

Bump.

Thank you all for your recommendations, would have to check out few of those mentioned before, from my end would recommend:

Miro.com
For amazing dashboards, brainstorming ideas, event storming, I’ve got most of my business plans there, designing sales funnels, really love this one.

Jasper.AI
This was a paid subscription.
I’m not an English native speaker and used that tool for creation of the OKish content marketing when we wanted to do that instead of hiring someone for that. Also loved how the AI helped to rephrase written text to sound the way I wanted.

Telegram
Most of our company communication is based on telegram, we have a nice split between related topics, recording voice messages is awesome there.

LinkedIn premium
Paid as well
Because of the nature of my business, it’s just a must have.

Most places that have subscriptions that removes ads when I use them regularly I’d rather pay then waste my time seeing ads.

I just upgraded to YouTube Premium so we don't see ads, and so we can download videos (the kids are making videos with meme-like video clips in them).

 

[GuestR401x3]

HubSpot Excellent free CRM tools. The paid marketing platform is excellent as well.
TeamViewer Still one of the best RDP's
My local library In my opinion one of the most underused resources, and not only for books/audiobooks.
PowerBI An excellent business intelligence tool that's worth learning
Mergent First Research A website with industry-specific summaries, challenges, growth predictions, trends, opportunities, and challenges.
ERP Systems Which one you go with depends on what industry you are in, but a good ERP system will save you a ton of time.
Hunter.IO For finding email addresses to specific people at specific companies.
MS Teams Send messages across your team, make phone calls, create groups, and have online meetings all in one
MS Office The best at what they do.
WordPress Open source CMS.
The local gym Not a tool but a necessity to get you mentally and physically on the right track for the day.
Others Asing for help isn't natural for me but I am learning to leverage the wisdom of those around me.

Does anyone have a good app to clip and bookmark various sources on the internet? From articles, to tweets, to anything I might stumble upon. The app should also have an easy way to "clip" information via Firefox browser.

Please do NOT recommend Evernote as its Firefox plugin is trash. Right now I'm using MS One Note but I really don't like the look or feel.

Isn't that what the built-in "Firefox Pocket" was for?

For creative projects check out Milanote - Milanote - the tool for organizing creative projects

Otherwise, you could look at using something like these:

• Pocket - Home | Pocket
• Raindrop - Raindrop.io — All in One Bookmark Manager
• Notion - https://www.notion.so/web-clipper

Personally, I drop things onto my bookmarks bar into folders never to be seen again.

Thank you for the reminder that the solution was right in front of my face. Now I feel stupid. Pocket seems to fit the bill and works great with FF.

I just upgraded to YouTube Premium so we don't see ads, and so we can download videos (the kids are making videos with meme-like video clips in them).

I didn't realise when you downloaded videos on YouTube it downloaded them to your YouTube app/account so you could view them offline. I thought I'd get an MP4 file. Oh well. I may continue YouTube premium as I've got used to not seeing ads when watching stuff.

• Notion - https://www.notion.so/web-clipper

I was going to suggest this one as well. If you are already using Notion, it's a great tool to send a bunch of stuff to your 'Inbox' to process later.

 

[AppMan]

Any recommendations for videos and animation software?

Adobe premier is the king of video editing and montage. but it is not free.

Somewhat related, but in addition to Pocket for saving articles, I have been using Inoreader - Take back control of your news feed for news feeds. I got sick of news aggregators and so I have been adding good sources to my list as I find them.

Hi MJ I saw this message quite late but there is this chrome extension called Glasp Glasp: Social Web Highlighter & Note-taking

EmailScraper (available on Mac App Store). You can drag folders and files to the interface (or select them via the buttons) and it will extract all the email addresses from them so you can put together custom email lists. It will scan plain text, CSV (Excel files), and Word docs. It can do websites too if you enter the web address into the form. It will remove any duplicate email addresses when it's done searching and allow you to fine tune the list by either keeping or deleting certain domains (like maybe just keeping .edu domains to target educational customers). It has a search feature too. You can export the email addresses as either plain text or CSV files that you can import into your email service. A Windows version is planned too, as well as support for PDF searches. Link: EmailScraper on Mac App Store

EmailScraper now has a Windows version as well as the Mac version. You can get more info here and download the demo version: EmailScraper for Mac and Windows

People are going to use this for everything.

HubSpot CRM is great, I love it. Documents by Readdle is awesome, too and I use it daily

Want a great tool to find contact information for decision makers for large b2b dealings?

Sales automation & acceleration at scale | Snov.io

Snov.io combines cold email, sales outreach, LinkedIn automation, and email finder tools into one platform, simplifying and optimizing the sales process.

snov.io

It's also basically free if you make your outreach count. I don't use any of the CRM stuff, but I love the domain search.

I found 9 regional buyers across two companies that use what I sell, whom I am not currently connected in about 15 minutes.

Yeah just used it to find the contacts for 3 markets that usually would have been hard to get.

This tool is F*cking amazing.

Another favorite random tool of ours. Want to call 7 or 8 of your contacts in 30 seconds without having to yak about nothing for 20 minutes?

Try this: Ringless Voicemail Drops - Voicemail Messaging | Slybroadcast

It shoots them a voicemail right to their inbox. Voicemails have a 95% open rate so, you have their ear, and it’s likely less annoying to them too.

It’s also, like Snov.io, very cheap if you aren’t a spammy idiot with it.

Perfect example of a productocracy, free advertising for them by virtue of a great product.

Moved to the APP thread so it can be found.

I actually currently use it for my Web Design business, finding business owner's email addresses. It works great. Worth the money.

GMass is my favorite software right now

 

[stackbd]

GMass is my favorite software right now

GMass is good, only drawback is that it makes it difficult to manage multiple accounts at one time, or send emails from multiple inboxes, since you have to go into each inbox and manage it manually

Tomighty
A little Pomodoro app that helps me alternate between work and breaks.

Fences

NoiseGator
Applies a noise gate to my mic to cut out background noise when I'm not speaking.

definitely can vouch for LastPass! Just being able to store my millions of passwords securely and not have to recover lost ones because I forgot what I used is a productivity hack in itself.

LastPass has been hacked. Look at 1Password instead.
