What are the 5 tools you simply couldn't do your work without?
This could be related to your industry, or even a side project you're working on.
Here are my 5 (I couldn't function without them):
Grammarly – proofreading my texts, not just posts, but also client communication
ChatGPT / Claude – mostly brainstorming, help with copy, and summarising
Figma – I can put the basic graphics together quickly.
Translator – sounds incredibly old-school, but English is not my mother tongue
Gmail – and not only for communication, but also for storing ideas and sending myself email reminders for posts

report back to me
Paste a clipboard is also SO underrated! It’s so good, that I forgot to mention it.. I take it for granted at this point.
Raycast is another one worth a mention.
Ableton/LumaDeck
Claude/ ChatGpt
Google
NodalDesk
OBS/ Vmix
Tools I genuinely couldn't work without:
1. Claude.ai (Pro) - daily for code, writing, research
2. VS Code + Claude Code - pair programming changed how I ship
3. Linear - solo founder using it for myself, weirdly effective
4. Notion - every blog draft, every spec, every note
5. Cloudflare Pages - free hosting that's actually fast
Honorable mention: my journal. Not a tool, but the thing I'd lose first if you took it away.
