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
[and soon one more that I am working on – SafeLimit – prevents me from being banned on LinkedIn, so I will not lose my account.]
What are your five?

These 3: Claude code, ChatGPT, and cursor.
Tbh can't live without them ⭐
Almost all of the products I can't work without every day are mine. Oops 😂
1) @Planelo – for jotting down thoughts and ideas for projects
2) TesterBuddy – for finding testers and testing my apps
3) @Claude by Anthropic / @Gemini – for brainstorming and organizing ideas
4) @Cursor – my programming buddy
5) @DevCleaner – for cleaning up the mess left behind after development
@dawedeveloper DevCleaner – what is labelled as that Mess?
@busmark_w_nika logs, delivered data from XCode, some caches,...
But there is like traffic light:
safe: things regenerate when you start project - selected by default
warning: things slow to regenerate (simulatores, emulators,...)
danger: core dev enviroment (delete only when you stop using that product)
You can try your self and send me feedback ;-)
Mine, as someone running a freelance web design practice solo:
Claude, most of my client comms, proposal copy, and general thinking-out-loud
Figma, quick mockups before I commit to a build
Stripe, invoicing/payments, non-negotiable
Notion, nowhere near organized without it
Studio OS Pro, my own tool (disclosure), it's basically CRM + wireframing + site publishing in one tab so I stopped bouncing between the other stuff I used to have open
Funny seeing how many stacks here are 2-3 AI tools deep now. Feels like the next shift is fewer standalone tools and more of them living inside one workspace.
My best 5 would be
Codex - since I start with codex, claude code only help me to debug or restructure the project. Codex is so fast and strong
Notion - still the best documentation application
Luma - I'll use Luma agent to produce all the product assets
Racoonn.me - using racoonn to find my early user from social media for free
Linear - easy to use and manage bug
@welly_luo Are you standing behind racoonn too? :)
Cursor - great IDE!
supabase - love supabase!
vercel - awesome!
openai - stable and professional
Beer fridge - essential!
@alan_barlow What did yo make to love Supabase so much? :D
Vscode
Codex
Notion
Telegram
@ferhat_aslan Wow, telegram is rare for me :D you are standing from the crowd here :D
granola - meeting notes and next steps
puffo - help me work with my 7 AI agents covering different aspects, eng, gtm, design, product, etc.
claude code/codex - use them through puffo
google cal/hangout - where most of my meeting happens
linear - manage and track tasks
Me now its gpt claude gmail replit cloudflare
@mountaga_diallo Most of them are mine toO :)
Mine come down to one habit more than five apps: I do not lean on a single AI model for a whole task. I reason with one, draft with another, and run the same prompt past a third when the stakes are higher, because they fail in different places. Outside of that, a notes app that stays open all day and a calendar I actually respect. Honest disclosure since it is on topic: I am building Zeplik, a single chat for switching between those models mid conversation, so I think about this habit a lot. Curious which models the rest of you reach for, and for what.
@asadmalik901 When will be the launch?
Claude Code
ChatGPT
Slack
Flozi
@ajay_yadav13 What is Flozy?
