Probably my favorite app on my phone.  Set a timer for how long you want to focus and if you touch your phone, a virtual tree in your forest will die.  The longer you set your timers, the more virtual trees grow and the more coins you get.  You can then use the coins to plant actual trees!

Zenkit has been a KILLER tool for me as a freelancer, and I imagine it will be just as useful for you! The ease of sharing and manipulating tasks is what makes the biggest difference. If you have fans of Kanban boards, mind maps, tables etc. you don't have to worry about not catering to everyone's tastes as every option Zenkit provides can be viewed in every other option. It even integrated with apps you might be currently using such as Trello and Excel. It's definitely worth checking out if you haven't done so already!

Hannah White · Answer

I would recommend trying a platform like Tonkean. It's like your favorite project management tool, but so much more, because there's a layer of automation added on top!

It completely eliminates the need for tracking down information, constant status updates and daily meetings.

If you're the manager, your important data plus the context that only your team can provide are always kept up-to-date in your customized dashboard.

There's a ton of different use cases. The website has examples, check them out here: https://tonkean.com/templates/

So this app is about the planning aspect, not the tracking (though it does offer that too). The app allows you to make time to get things done, rather than just asking you what you did. So the planning is a huge piece, and this app allows you to schedule blocks of time to get stuff done.

Elena · Answer

Great tool to manage all the projects and tasks in one place. Extremely functional, great UI/UX. Also, like the fact, there is a free version for smaller teams  (less than 15 people), which is really nice especially if you are bootstrapping your company.

Answer

There are lots of amazing apps on the market. Social software like Facebook, Instagram is definitely needed, and so does tools like Gmail. We will not discuss these obvious ones. Now let's discuss the app that we should download but didn’t.

The first app comes to mind is AppLock. I am sure many people are worried about their phone privacy, but they don’t know how to deal with it. There are some apps that you can use to prevent people from snooping around your phone or even look through it without your permission. AppLock is one of them. But that’s not why I recommend it. The most interesting feature in this app is intruder selfie, which takes picture of the people who input the wrong password. I like this feature because on day I left my phone at home, when I got back, there are several selfies taken by AppLock shows that my kids are trying to use my phone. You really need to try this feature, it’s really funny to see these unexpected selfies. You will laugh, trust me!

bazingagag · Answer

Mobile security is more and more important nowadays, that’s why I think no matter who you are, what you do. You will need an app to protect your phone!

I am using this app called ‘AppLock’, which is amazing because it can lock all of my apps, images even videos. This app is always on my list when it comes to app recommendation.

The one thing that I like the most about this app is that it can take photos of the person who’s trying to unlock your phone! This feature is really funny because I always got the intruder selfie notification from my kids. They are trying really hard to unlock my phone for video games.

If you are a cautious people, you really do need one of this app.

RT Gsync, it is basically a plugin of SugarCRM that automatically syncs all data from Gmail like, Emails, Documents, Contacts, Calendars etc. All the information is synced with the SugarCRM and vice versa which enables me to efficiently carry out my marketing and sales activities seamlessly.

There is always a hassle when your data is scattered between different platforms and you have to switch between windows in order to access that data to carry out different functions but RT Gsync streamlines the whole process and is a must-have plugin for SugarCRM users as it makes the process of customer management a lot more easy and organized.

Pavan Sethi · Answer

Block yourself from visiting certain websites.  There are a lot of apps that do this but I like this one because instead of setting a timer, you add sites to a list and whenever you visit them, you get a notice that says "Shouldn't you be working?" and the guilt makes you get back to work.
