Spotify

Any song. One tap away.

Kate42Community @ Product Hunt · Written 3mo 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.

Slack

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

Jakub Rogalski18Community Manager at Brand24 · Written 2mo ago

Most of the apps with the bigger number of upvotes that are mentioned here could actually be listed as the ones I can't live without. If I had to pick one, however, it would be Slack, I guess. It makes it so much easier to stay on top of all the work-related stuff, and since I need to keep track of all the important mentions of our company as well, the integration with https://brand24.com makes it even more valuable for me.

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.

vignesh ravichandranJack of some trades & master of nothing · Written 3mo 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.

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

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.

RaunakCreativity | Passionate | change · Written 2mo ago

Learning is the basic instinct of a human and it provides the dimensions to achieve that in almost every diverse areas. One of the greatest evolved product of all time I would say.

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.

1Password 6

BruceLaymanWritten 3mo 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 password detection makes it much easier to beef up your password security without hunting through a list of all your sites, usernames, and passwords. Security and peace of mind are totally worth paying for with 1Password.

Dustin DanielsApp Developer/Childrens Book Author · Written 2mo 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.

Audio books

Steve AylorWritten 2mo ago

Audio Books - I never have time to read, but I can always find time to listen.

Graham Campbell3🚀 new ventures, faster · Written 2mo ago

I use Audible because I've always been a relatively slow reader of text but a keen listener & auditory learner. Audible offers probably the largest online library of audio books, including many of the world's best non-fiction (and fictional) books of all time that help you become smarter, more well-versed, and more effective. Plus (and this is probably the biggest reason I use Audible aside from their comprehensive inventory,) you can actually dial the speed of Audiobooks down to 0.75x and up to as high as 3.0x to suit your preferred listening pace (and the audio remains pretty much just as discernable in terms of pitch - ie. no Alvin & The Chipmunks effect). This speed adjustment feature allows me to digest books much more quickly than I've ever been able to read them.
