I was recently reminded of @Dockhunt and how fun it was to see what kinds of apps different folks kept in their dock. I remember it being a cool way to discover some new products I hadn't seen before. I'm also just a big fan of desktop apps over web apps. I find it a lot easier to stay focused when I'm flipping between apps vs flipping between tabs.

These are the apps in my dock:

• @Google Chrome - Pretty basic. I've really been considering switching over to @Horse though.

• @Slack - The de facto option.

• @Superhuman - Maybe the fastest I've become a fan of a product. I think I was pushing it on others within a few hours.

• @Notion - Great for documentation and collaborating. I also use it personally for tracking books I read and video games I play, along with tracking personal projects.

• Notion Calendar - The menu bar aspect of this is really what sold me. It makes it so much easier to stay on top of my meetings every day.

• @Linear - We just recently switched over to Linear here at @Product Hunt and I've been loving it. Pro tip: if you prefer the desktop app, there's a setting to open links in the app, but you can only set that option through the web version.

• @iTerm2 - I've tried others, but this is my favorite. This + @Neovim is just

• @Claude by Anthropic - This has been my LLM of choice for a while, and I really like having it as a desktop app. Especially the keyboard shortcut to quickly bring it up and ask something.

• @Tandem - Super easy to stay in touch and sync with teammates. Incredibly useful for a remote team.

• @Spotify - I typically have a YouTube video on in the background, but if I'm writing or doing something more focused, I'll typically have some kind of Jazz going.

@Paste just launched their latest version, and tbh I'm considering switching over but I'm curious to hear what other people use?
I know @Raycast has a pretty powerful and integrated one that I'm considering using. I currently use @ Pasta which I love.
Do folks have any they recommend? What's the consensus?

Hot off the press! @Raycast for iOS just got "its biggest update yet." Dictation, AI commands, Snippets, and Quicklinks are now accessible from the keyboard.

Thoughts? For me, it's an instant crush.

When @Raycast launched their recent notes feature, I downloaded it for the first time. I'd heard a ton of great things, but just hadn't ever tried it out before. Their notes feature was something I'd been looking for so it seemed like a good jumping on point.

So far, I feel like I'm vastly underutilizing it though. I kind of found the sheer amount of things you can do with it overwhelming, and I've mostly found myself just not using it. I love keyboard driven apps and shortcuts (I'll forever be a diehard @Neovim fan) so it seems like something I'd love and get a lot of use out of. I just haven't found a great set of shortcuts or uses yet.

About 4 months ago, I asked for beginner tips on Raycast so that I could start trying it out. I'd heard some people talk about how helpful it was, but just downloading it, I didn't really know where to start or how to get the most out of it.

Well, 4 months later, it is an integral part of my workflow now. I'd actually say it's one of the most impactful apps I use (the other being @Aqua Voice) in terms of really improving my overall work. I use it now for so many things every day, and I've gotten it set up to be incredibly fast and efficient for what I need. I think I would feel very slow and disorganized going back to not using it.

There are products I keep using when launching on Product Hunt -- products that help me craft beautiful assets, plan content distribution, and analyze results.

Here's my personal collection. How about you? What's your stack?

@Apple just announced the new macOS Tahoe 26, which included the "biggest Spotlight update ever." From the outside, it feels like they essentially built Raycast into Spotlight.

Raycast's CEO, @thomaspaulmann reacted in a long-form X post. This quote really struck me:

While Apple catches up to 2019 Raycast, we're already shipping 2025 Raycast.

Hey everyone,

I m curious to know: What are some of the apps, tools, or services you ve discovered that have truly transformed the way you work or build your startup/product, or basically helped you in day-to-day work productivity? It could be anything from project management, productivity hacks, automation, communication, or even wellness tools that help you stay focused.

I ve been on this platform for almost three years without interruption, reviewing dozens of products every day. I try many of them, but only a few have become part of my daily routine, ones I can t imagine living without.

I will pin, for example, 3 of them:

@TabMagic - Bookmark & Tab Manager I no longer need 500 tabs open; I can save them to my dashboard and close my entire browser.

I've recently been recommended various new tools like Warp (terminal) and Zed (IDE). They are both quite intriguing, as I expect both could help speed up my development workflow. However, actually switching to them seems to be a huge lift.
I've downloaded and explored the two apps, but the thought of figuring out which current habits can be replicated vs. which ones I should completely relearn with the new app's tools is quite daunting. As a result, I haven't re-opened them...
I think the ProductHunt community would lean on the side of more experimental and motivated to try new things. How many new products do you try? How many end up sticking? Do you also feel the obstacles I've mentioned above and what ends up pushing you over that activation energy?

Every day, hundreds of products launch on Product Hunt.

And let s be honest most of the time we upvote without really trying them.

Sometimes, though, you actually do try one and it sticks.

By little tool, I don't mean it took a small amount of effort, I mean it does one day-to-day, small task. For me it's probably @Xnapper . It allows me to take beautiful screenshots surrounded by stunning backgrounds in literally a few seconds, where as I used to spend time chucking my screenshots into Figma and playing with the padding to make them look nice. I can't even guess how much time this has saved me

Hi everyone!

We always hear about the big, popular productivity tools but I m more interested in the quiet game-changers. The tools that aren t in every headline but made a huge difference in how you work or build.
