Spotify

Any song. One tap away.

KateCommunity @ Product Hunt · Written 14d ago

I can't imagine life without music. Ask anyone (especially @ayrton or @mscccc) and they can testify that I'm almost always dancing (because music makes you move 💁). The BEST app / streaming service / all around music-listening-method I've found is Spotify. SO IN LOVE.

The only way I could survive traffic.

Victor BousWritten 10d ago

Spotify is still the one app I would use. It's all about music man :)

Twitter

Tarun GangwaniCo-founder, Product, grokstream.com · Written 14d ago

My morning routine: groggily wake up, open up my phone, look at Twitter.

Andre MadianWritten 12d ago

Twitter is basically my go-to news site :D

vignesh ravichandranJack of some trades & master of nothing · Written 9d ago

I agree, the best thing with Twitter is almost you see what you want to see. Rather Facebook gives x likes y's post or z's picture. That is not what i want to see in the morning.

Slack

Be less busy. Real-time messaging, archiving & search.

pherkandesigner | engineer | aeuoeu · Written 13d ago

Well in the end you can live without any app.. but Slack is definitely a life changer when it comes to running a starting company.

Serge SalagerCEO, Visualping and Retarget Links · Written 10d ago

First app I open in the morning (before turning off my alarm clock) and last app I close (I use it to monitor sign-ups, payments and server performance and status).

Hemant MandaliyaProud co-creator of @indianfoodtrail · Written 9d ago

Easiest way to get work done without going through a barrage of mail chains.

It's usually the last app i use before sleeping and the first app i open after waking up.

I get to come back to all those long reads I can't get through during the work day

Scott RosenblumPresident/Founder, LEVEL PR · Written 10d ago

Can not live without this app, chrome extension and what not. I always come across things I want to read, but don't have the time to read right away. Been a loyal fan of Pocket since when I used to pay for it when it was called Read it Later.

Morning > Medium + PLAY (Listen to Medium articles with a Chrome Extension). Noon > PH & AskPH. After work > Oculus & Samsung VR for an hour.

Marc CrouchCEO, Firedrop.ai · Written 11d ago

Medium has replaced Wikipedia as the unintended reading-based time suck for me. I'll start reading one and end up on there for a couple of hours without realising.

Wikipedia

Graham Campbell↗ new ventures, faster · Written 12d ago

Because learning is a basic human right. Nobody should be able to speak over your head as long as you do even basic research via Wikipedia. Also, free & open information, and self-guided learning helps us understand and improve our world.

Google Drive

Sneha Guptabrand mgmt,but mostly avid reader · Written 10d ago

I am always working on things I need to sahre with people and I do not recall how I did it before Google Drive was there

LastPass

Newly launched Mac OS X integration for password management

Graham Campbell↗ new ventures, faster · Written 13d ago

Because typing, remembering, and coming up w/ new passwords is an inefficient use of your valuable time.

Abhijit Sunil YadavProgramme Associate, ECF · Written 10d ago

One of the best password manager I have used till date! Can't survive without it!

QuentinGrowth Hacker @ Dolead · Written 9d ago

It's the app I use the most without even paying attention to it. So helpful when you have to switch between personal/company accounts!

Evernote

Note taking gets even simpler

Nicolas HippertWritten 10d ago

My life is on Evernote. My life depends on Evernote. Evernote is life. All hail Evernote !

Aidas KavaliauskasFounder, AMEA Business Solutions · Written 10d ago

Because there are always some things to note. Meeting notes, todo's, shopping list, another interesting article on the web. Evernote works on all devices and provides powerful organising features like multiple notebooks, tagging and advanced search. Also while reading note you get recommendations for similar notes.

Mijael FeldmanCEO & Co Founder @ubankapp · Written 10d ago

It would be impossible to save documents, flight tickets, meeting notes and ideas without Evernote. For work and pleasure, Evernote is crucial for organizing your mind.

Have used Alfred since day one, so much more than an app launcher. The first thing I install on a new machine.

Powerful podcast manager for iOS & Android. New v.5 release.

Rodger CooleyWeb Developer · Written 10d ago

As long as the desert island has internet connectivity... it's the best podcast management and player on Android. A close second would be Smart Audiobook Player

Fabrizio BianchiDigital Campaign Coordinator @ Sodexo · Written 9d ago

Because I don't listen to music, I want options when it comes to my podcasts playback, and it should feel and look good!

David M.Disabled Gamer/Tech Blogger · Written 9d ago

Excellent podcast app that can sync to a web browser client for additional fee. One weakness is that it does not have support for password-protected podcasts.

1Password 6

BruceLaymanWritten 10d ago

Hands down, my life would be very different without 1Password. Having a place where all my passwords, critical information, and a handful of notes can live securely gives me so much peace of mind. The password generator, 1Password Mini, and the Chrome extension, not to mention the TouchID protection of the iOS app, have dramatically improved my digital security measures. I never have to make a silly short password or reuse an old one for fear of forgetting because I trust 1Password to do that heavy lifting for me. The Watchtower feature that warns you of potentially compromised sites is a great tool, and duplicate pas… See more

If we didn't have this chaos would ensue! It's a great tool for you all to share access to all accounts, very hand when people are out of the office or off sick.

With multiple ways of backing up your password database, I'm never without my passwords for me or my team. Without it I'm lost.
