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?

my 5:

  1. Claude - basically search at this point

  2. Conductor - the best way to run a bunch of claude codes at once

  3. Notion - all things documents

  4. Slack - keeping me in touch with the team

  5. Figma - the only way to design

this is the stack when building consumer (and not including the marketing tools... heh)

 Love all the tools you put there! :D (I also use them too) :D

  1. Claude Code (Coding)

  2. Claude Code (Notes)

  3. Claude Code (Psychotherapist)

  4. Claude Code (Remotion)

  5. Figma

 I expected Claude Code also for 5. point :D

Here are mine:

  1. Bendida TimeBox – My own app, which helps me on a daily basis.

  2. Gemini – Also great for brainstorming and generating images.

  3. Android Studio – This is where I develop my projects.

  4. Figma – For designing projects before I actually start coding.

  5. Any movie streaming site – It's important for me not just to work hard, but also to know how to unwind. Relaxing is an essential part of both life and work, which is why I’m including this on the list.

 Which is your fave movie? :)

 I have a lot of favorite movies. Depending on my mood, I might watch Adam Sandler or Rob Schneider films, Gladiator, or The Godfather. What about you? What are your favorite movies, or do you prefer a different way to unwind?

 I like action ones or Drama. Mission Impossible, Magnolia, Fifth element and this vibe of cyberpunk :D

Developer Stack

  1. Claude: Assistance, Research, Planning, Pair Programming

  2. Github: VCS

  3. Obsidian: Documentation and Study Notes with iCloud sync

  4. Standard Notes: Private Notes E2E encrypted

  5. Jetbrain IDE Stack, Terminal. Arc Browser, Apple Reminders, Google Stack for Meetings, shared docs and calendar (Thinking to switch to Proton stack for privacy)

 Re Obsidian: I was considering trying it. What do you consider its own benefits?

claude, chatgpt, canva :)

 couldn't decide between ChatGPT and Claude, so bet on both? :)

my 3:

1.Chatgpt

2.Gemini

3.Grammerly

 best combo! :D

  1. Notepad (/Notepad++/Obsidian)

  2. Claude Caude (though Kilo CLI and alike will do)

  3. Teams (sorry haters, lol)

  5. Web browser. For me it's Firefox, but really... would have a big problem, if all the browsers would die tomorrow. 😅 Appreciate the small things

 I am still chrome team :D It is better than Internet Explorer tho :D

Is Figma still useful these days? I’ve always found it a bit heavy when coding.

 I use it as for designs. Is anything bad with it?

Trully feeling blessed with these tools, (as AI engineer).
1. Cursor (still the best agent harness )
2. Raycast (yes 2.0 just dropped, with built-in voice transcriptions)
3. Warp (Agentic terminal, free and easy )
4. Bond (Very own agentic Todo list ✅)
5. Shottr (easy screenshot tool with OCR 👀)

 I do not know most of them – I will have to do my own research on them! :)

my 5:

  1. wekraft - best AI-project management tool, which I have build, kindly check it out

  2. Canva

  3. Claude/ChatGPT

  4. Gmail

  5. Vercel
