I've been using Open Office for a decade. Docs, design, spread sheets, file conversions, amazing.

One feature I love about Microsoft lens is that you can scan an image at an angle, and later correct the image skew.

Couldn't live without YouTube! 💚🇬🇧🌱

An amazing feature of Gmail is the ability to filter emails. Literally every email is a searchable record. If I remember the name of the person, or any other attribute, I just type it in to the gmail search box and it will find every email associated, going back years. Amazing.

You forgot the scanner option in Apple Notes - works on any Apple device and is completely free - paired with pdf editor you’re good to go business mode 🤓

I just started using Notion for data bases and found it the easiest database I've ever used.

Not sure you qualify this as a tool but for me, when I started using KEEP it allowed me to have a single place that I could share (collaborate) with the wife/friends and use across all sorts of different devices that are synchronized. Using the KEEP extension is so handy while surfing the web to just click the icon in the Chrome browser and have a KEEP note automatically created with the link. No more writing/sticking post-it notes, no need to create emails that have web links copied in, create/read/use from whatever device you are at (phone, desktop, laptop, Chromebook). My one big wish is that they would provide a few more formatting capabilities while creating a note (Bold, Italicize, Underline, Tabs/Indenting for example). I'm looking forward to trying a few of these tools you have highlighted. As always, great videos, keep'em coming.

Trello is, now, with a lot of great features in its free version too! You may consider it in your next video! Great job!

Wow thanks for these tips. Downloaded Canva and made my business logo in 5 minutes!

Your communication is so clear. Well done 👍

Google Sites is my favourite free tool. So easy to use and perfect for a small, local charity.

Subscribed. That was a perfect app video. At last, someone who recommends genuinely useful apps that are more of less free. I would love it if you could do a similar video for non-business apps. Thanks, great stuff.

Todoist is a great task tracking tool. I recently completed the clean-out of a very large and diverse estate with hundreds of tasks in Todoist that ranged from necessary steps on the auction, daily tasks for clean-up, shopping lists for supplies at different stores, stuff to bring to the properties for the work being done that day, etc. I use it for recurring checklist and references too. For example, I have a project for Travel with sub-projects for the trips where I include the tasks and confirmations, and I have projects for Christmas decorating that includes the annual tasks needed to convert the house. I now use the paid version, but they have included more in the free version, so I may review that during my next subscription window. Great video. I use several of the apps you mentioned. Thanks.

FreeFileSync is my most used free utility — to back up and sync my data on data drives

Actually you can't resize, delete background, upload your own fonts and create your own brand set without paying for Canva. There may be even more differences, but those are the most important difference for me. I think the paid version is well worth the money.

Google forms is great! You can even include conditional logic depending on answers. Canva is another favourite of mine.

Many many thanks for the video and the heads-up on these great apps!

Liked it and subscribed, very very informative! Great 5 - use most of them , no 6 would have been Slack as it has evolved my business so much.

Notability with Apple Pencil. I use this for all my client notes with auto backup into drive. I can scribble fast as if writing on paper, screen shot and send to clients after I clean it up quickly and also have a Backup for reference. Plus integrate pdfs, links, images… etc
