I am always on the lookout for time-saving useful apps, so if you have any to recommend, please share. I’d love to see them.
TOGGL
(Yes that’s how it’s spelt). This tool is like a stopwatch that you can stop and start throughout the day. You can identify which Project you’ve been working on, and even specify a specific task you’ve been working on. You can assign the project to different clients too. Running reports for projects, clients or work for the day, week or month are very easy. Times can be manually changed and it synchronises with a phone app too.
EVERNOTE
The free version allows you to synchronise between two platforms, phone and desktop. You can create numerous “notes” within notebooks, which can be formatted text, a full webpage or webpage excerpt, a photograph, a voice memo, or a handwritten “ink” note. Notes can also have file attachments.

A Dropbox Basic account is free and includes 2 GB of cloud storage space. You can download apps to access Dropbox from your computer and mobile device and can earn more storage space the more you share with others.
GOOGLE FORMS
Google has a heap of free useful resources, but google forms is a gem. It does a lot of what survey monkey can do but for free. It can also easily be embedded into your website.
GROOVEFUNNELS
This is an awesome free alternative to Click Funnels. Not only that, it has a whole suite of other really cool systems you can access such as shops (think shopify), Groove Mail (think Mailchimp) etc. All for free!

UNSPLASH
I can’t believe this is free! This site gives you access to a global library of beautiful images that you can use for free. This is my first stop for any graphics work I need to do.
GRAMMARLY
If you rely on the grammar check in Word, then you’ll love this. It’s an app linked to your web browser and will grammar check any text you enter into web-based platforms such as Facebook or online forms.
UNROLLME
If you are tempted by those carrot dangling opt-ins but not sure you want to commit to this long-term email relationship, Unroll.me is for you. Unroll.me is the easiest way to manage your inbox. It will easily assist you to unsubscribe from unwanted email subscriptions, discover new ones and organize them all in one email, so you can quickly review what you want to read or not. Your inbox doesn’t get bogged down with too many email subscriptions. Just one email, with a summary of the whole lot!
MISSINGLETTR
Yes, that is how it is spelled. It’s not a typo. If you are a blog writer, this app is for you. It will scan your blog site and create custom social media campaigns for you. It grabs quotes from your blog, turns them into beautiful quote images and attaches a quote from your blog with recommended hashtags. It will then create a campaign to run over 12 months. The free account only allows 1 campaign per month, 1 social profile with their branding on it. I think this is one time-saving service well worth paying for.
