For me it would be Reader Mode and Reader Mode Premium to help me remove distractions and organize my online articles 😊

I'm currently trying out Claquette for making gifs for social media and so far been really impressed! I'd say my favorite productivity app would be Stoic. for keeping me focused and helping me journal everyday.

I think it depends on how you define "productivity"! Personally I find Alfred 3 and Rocket among my highest velocity-encouraging apps... especially now that I'm investing more in creating custom Workflows, I'm focused more on the meat of the tasks I'm working on, rather than trying to navigate to each working context (i.e. a specific website, email, contact, etc)

F.lux is my favorite productivity app. I've been using it for years, and it has saved me from so many headaches. I usually start work before the sun comes up and having it adjust blue light levels throughout the day keeps my eyes from getting tired or getting headaches which in turns keeps me more productive.

Walling is easily one of my fav productivity apps. There are so many ways to benefit from it! Give it a try! 😉

Productivity is a highly over-used word. You almost have to say "productivity for social media" or whatever it is you're interested in. For social media I use Hootsuite and to stay on track with tasks and prevent interruptions from colleagues I use a tool that we developed and launched on PH in November called Pomodus

notion.so is really good. I use it for everything now. Taking notes, courses, ideas, working on projects, calendars... It's a mix between Google Docs, and web pages. You can organize your pages as you want and insert a large variety of things, like sheets or code snippets. And you can work with your team simultaneously.

I'm still trying to figure out why Woven Calendar 2.0 isn't on this list

I asked my co-founder to make an app for me to help me stop rambling on video calls and stay on track so they don't run long. I really love it and based on feedback from others, we decided to make it available for everyone. It's called TeamSpirit and we just launched it today! I hope it's as helpful for others as it has been for me in boosting my productivity during video calls!

For me right now it is #Notion. As they rightly mention on their website “All in one wokspace”. It eliminates the need for separate apps for Project Management, Notes, Wiki, Documents, Databases; in a nutshell a Life Management platform. Yes, the onboarding process can be a bit overwhelming but once you get a hang of it; sky is the limit with Notion.

We are using the app we made itsBeat 🙂 It's great for team productivity and collaboration

For me, the answer is now and forever shall be Nuclino 🙏

Spike - unifying our entire workflow into one modern Inbox - checkout new release @ PH later this week....

Drafts - shocked it's not an all-star on this site, needs better presence, but is one of the most amazing note-based productivity + workflow + scripting tools of all time

Hey there! I have been using ProProfs Project (https://www.proprofsproject.com/) to manage my projects and teams for the last couple of years. It provides me with a platform to bring team members together to accomplish shared goals. Adopting this toolhas prepared us to handle agile projects with ease and improve productivity across departments. The tool lets me customize project workflows, set dependencies, and create priorities to deliver projects on time and within budget. Also, it enables seamless team collaboration via task comments and file-sharing ability. Besides, I can track team performance and overall project progress with the tool’s actionable reports and analytics.

I use typedesk on a regular basis (disclaimer: I'm the founder and we offer a free version) 👍

Disclaimer, I created it so watch out for the bias :) I am using my own app, Slick Inbox extensively. It's a newsletter reader app, so it provides you with a @slickinbox.com email that you use to subscribe to newsletters. I just find that it's a much better experience reading it with a dedicated app rather than digging through my Gmail. https://slickinbox.com/

No app - for me it's putting my phone on silent and not touching it for some set amount of time

Notion 1.0 Web + Mac App has already been said but I'll give it another shout-out. Can be a bit overwhelming at the start like @gauravbanka said, but once you get to grips with it you're laughing!
