What are the 5 tools you simply couldn't do your work without?

by
•

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):

  1. Grammarly – proofreading my texts, not just posts, but also client communication

  2. ChatGPT / Claude – mostly brainstorming, help with copy, and summarising

  3. Figma – I can put the basic graphics together quickly.

  4. Translator – sounds incredibly old-school, but English is not my mother tongue

  5. 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 – – prevents me from being banned on LinkedIn, so I will not lose my account.]

What are your five?

Best

is my daily editor and harness for my agents for building app
then : ghostty, orbstack, supergrok, and linear

 I went from ChatGPT to Grok too, but after the decision to disable the latest model in the EU, I do not know... maybe i will not pay for something that I cannot use :D

I love
- Grammarly
- Figma
- Chrome
- Safari
- Zoom

 I love them all :)

  1. ZapDigits

  2. VSCode sometimes Cursor but not after Elon buying it

  3. Ghostty terminal

  4. Figma

  5. Spotify

 Spotify (or YouTube Music) is must have here!

Recently it's been:

  • (my own landing page auditor, it's been insightful auditing so many landing pages!)

  • VSCode - for a few different side projects

  • Claude - sense checking and sounding board

  • Product Hunt - Inspiration

  • Notes - have to log all those ideas somewhere!

 Cool! BTW, you are a very first person who mentioned PH here :)

 Had to be done!

i use Owelet - am a digital creator so it brings all my revenue in one place. Claude - it helps me brainstorm and build products. Gumroad - cant live without as its my sources of income. Kofi and Etsy as well because i sell there too

 What is Owelet? I couldn't find any reference online.

 Owelet is a financial dashboard that shows your real net income across all your platforms after fees. I use it because I was tired of adding up Gumroad, Etsy and Ko-fi numbers manually every month and still not knowing what I actually kept. I also couldnt find it online before because of the baby brand Owlet but the website is at owelet.app

Love this format. Mine:

1. Adobe (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, Premiere) – still the backbone of all my design work

2. Notion – meeting notes and strategy pages

3. Claude – for pretty much everything haha

4. – email management with my team. It turns emails into tasks and project overviews, so every morning I know what's urgent and what's noise. Saves me hours.

5. HubSpot – website metrics and automated email workflows

Curious about SafeLimit btw, smart idea.

 I think we are having the same portfolio of tools :D Are you about to launch Pidgy here? :)

Thank you for your encouragement regarding SafeLimit :)

 Yes, we're launching Pidgy in september to the public, with early acces for waitlist subscribers! Really excited about it!

 okay, and after public launch also PH launch too? :)

claude, canva, chatgpt, linkedin and gamma

 LinkedIn and Claude are my fave too! :)

 Claude is actually next level. I just loved it.

 I love it too, purchased a pro version subscription :)

Here are my 5 (can't work without them):

  1. VS Code – where I basically live, all the building happens here

  2. Claude – brainstorming, drafting, and thinking out loud when I'm stuck

  3. Canva – quick graphics and social stuff without overthinking it

  4. Affinity – my go-to for the heavier design work, no subscription and it just works

  5. Nparla – real-time voice translation right on my Mac. I speak in my language and the other person hears me in theirs, instantly and in a natural voice.

    I work with people of many different nationalities, which is actually what led me to build this app. My mother tongue is Spanish, but I have to communicate in English and Portuguese too. For now it runs on Mac with Apple Silicon, M1 and up.

    If you'd like, , I've got 5 promo codes so you can try the app (it supports English, Spanish, German, French, Italian and Portuguese for now). If you speak one of those languages and need to communicate in another one from the list, this app might just help you out 🙂.

 Wow, does it understand Slovak too?

Hi!, Not yet, unfortunately — Slovak isn't officially supported. But I'd genuinely love to find out how well it works as an input, because in theory you could speak in Slovak and have the output come out in English, Spanish, German, French, Italian or Portuguese (just not the other way around for now).

I can't promise it'll pick up Slovak perfectly since I haven't tested it, so if you're up for it, let's try it together — shoot me a DM and I'll add you to the tester list. Worst case we learn something, best case it just works 🙂

My 5 are :

1) Alphalytics™

2) Gemini, Chatgpt

3) Resume Buddy

4) Linkedin

5) GAS

 LinkedIn for me too! :) Gotta have a look at Alphalytics™ :)

My top 5 tools:

  2. Notion

  3. Figma

  4. FixMeBot

And soon one more great tool will be released –

It will help keep sensitive information private when sharing screen or making screenshots 👍

 you have a very diverse portfolio of tools, most of them are unknown to me :) Thank you for sahirng :)
