Typefully
Great experience over posting straight to twitter/x + some extra features carefully thought about. Love the care for the details there.

HEY
Using Hey for almost 2 years for personal usage and I have only good things to say about it, I can't imagine coming back to gmail with it. It takes a bit more time to manage it later when you make it your primary inbox, which may not be for everyone, but if this essential part of your life isn't organized, you can't be as efficient I think. It's a bit pricey which may change once they have more users.

Telegram 4.7
Best app for personal messaging and use. Attention to details. Not under META.

Zoom
Best quality online meetings.
Spotify
The best app for music, knows my tastes really well. Still could improve on the humane aspects. Feels like some UI and decisions under the hood are being made in favour of business vs customers. Experience to check out and play songs of a selected artist isn't great, they only show to 10 popular songs and if you want to go further it takes a lot of effort to browse the messy menus and randomly added albums. Lately have issues with it sometimes having a hard time to load songs, mostly when connected to a Sonos speaker.
Slack
Working in Slack daily for almost 4 years now, working great for me so far.
Best calendar there is, easy integration with google and others, easy to add and manage meetings, attach zoom links and more. Great attention to details.

Reflect
Great way, by design, to write down thoughts and keep them organized. Just a bit hard to learn the features at first.
Call of Duty
Mobile shooter was ahead of it's time when it launched, enjoyed it a lot.
Gmail
Ads, cluttered, spam... Only use it because it's a workplace email client.

Arc
Been using it for months and not looking back! There were a few important things I had to give up for it due to Chromium, but it was worth it! To name them: Keychain access and airplay. The productivity and organisational aspect of it is killing all other browsers for me. Mini arc is super useful to preview links, many small details thought out, just happy using it as a designer myself, want to express my gratitude towards creators of the browser, to keep pushing for what we - humans need and don't charge anything for using it (yet?) but I'd gladly pay to continue using arc. Recent Boosts feature is a killer too and with it, the leap from other browser only got bigger. I just hope the core of the browsing - efficiency and speed will match best in class browsers soon!

Daily lifesaver from all these unnecessary, unneeded information other people pay to show me. Would help to make it block useless content as well like news that don't have any value etc.

GPT-4o
Far ahead all other competition, no ads or paywalls, much more effective than google in many cases.
Figma
Figma got far beyond any competition a few years back and we switched to it from Sketch and Adobe XD. Now the only downsides of it are: a gap between figma designs and development. The other is cost. To build our agency portfolio website we used Framer and it gets more and more powerful, letting us build a website without development and all the development overhead.
