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.]

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.
Here are my 5, could not run my process without them:
Score My Lead, the tool I just launched here on PH, scores a lead on 8 signals so I am not guessing who to call back first
Factors ai, shows which companies are visiting the site before they ever fill a form
Tawk to, free live chat that turns a quiet visitor into an actual conversation
Microsoft Clarity, heatmaps and session recordings, free, and it is not going anywhere since Microsoft built it
Looker Studio, pulls everything into 1 dashboard instead of 6 open tabs
Claude Code
ChatGPT
Slack
Flozi
