For me it would be Tidal, music helps me concentrate on work and get my tasks done, Phillips smart hue lightbulbs a complete mood changer and my Le Creuset casserole dish, can prep a beautiful dinner and just let it simmer for a few hours while I work

Great topic! First three that come to mind: my Ember mug, sprinkler/drip line system, and my Google calendar (I would be a hot mess without putting my whole life on here).

hmmm.. laptop cooling pad, the oven, and that little tool that makes tiny holes in the eggs so that they don't explode while boiling:)

Asana is amazing for task management, airpods for noise cancellation when working in a coworking space or just a noise filled coffee shop (I use these all over not just working for the amazing noise cancellation), and of course some good running shoes
Marta Marchuk
@andrew_bagby is it possible to chat with you about your experience of using Asana? we are currently developing a product that is integrated with Asana
Marta Marchuk
@andrew_bagby how can i contact you personally?

I use my Discord app like a mem or notes app, have a server for our development team to organize upcoming features and discuss on those. Chrome browser goes without saying. A comfortable computer chair is a must.

Great question. 3 products I use daily: - Royal Brew nitro coffee machine (it's so good) - Front (best tool for email collaboration) - Vimcal (I use it primarily for the schedule suggestions workflow)

1. Coffee machine (the day does not begin without it) 2. Spotify (need good working music) 3. Morgen.so (my whole life organized and scheduled)

Telegram - all internet in one app, like Wechat in China Spotify - The best algorithm, which helps me to find new awesome music. Product Hunt - for hunting new ideas and inspiration

1. Uber/Lime app that allows me to quickly and easily book a nearby e-bike (I walk everywhere and whenever I realize I'm late, I can just jump on a bike. That freedom to not have to plan walking time and debating if I should walk or not, is completely priceless). 2. PocketCast to listen to podcasts and decompress whenever I feel stressed 3. My Garmin watch, which motivates me to move more, go for runs and get that movement in, that keeps me energized and keeps my mind at peace.

Hey-hey, for me it's Telegram, Baserow, and Notion! Whoa, so many people mentioned Excel, and I'm a bit surprised. I thought more people are using some cool, new Excel alternatives here. As hunters = early adopters. Interesting 🤔

Airtable - super powerful sheets Notion - Recording daily things and my top 1 knowledge base Google docs - For no reason, it's google!
Christian Lowe
1. Notion - I use it for pretty much everything from organizing my thoughts to running meetings and even for playing DnD with friends on the weekend. 2. Slack - I manage a remote-first team, and Slack is the primary medium we use to communicate with each other. I don't think our startup would function without it. 3. TikTok - Super-underrated platform for speaking to and engaging with users.

I live off of my Google Calendar and chrome bookmarks folders. For a nontechnical product...I've recently gotten into mugs with corks bottoms. Coasters just aren't it for me.
Akash Zaveri
1. A great daily planner 2. My laptop 3. A read-a-day book like The Daily Stoic (to stay true to my values)
Emil Ahayeu
Hi:) Nice question! Anydo - for making a daily plan. Google Chrome - to search for any information and tools, both for work and everyday matters. forYou - for evening facials and tracking the amount of water I drink.

Roam: Helps me to have one place where I can braindump my stuff every day TikTok: Ok, I realize this is a weird one to list under "products that make my life easier", but I actually enjoy how easy the app makes it to do some very short, creative video experiments. That said, this is more a temporary exercise in trying something new, I don't think it's a product I'll be using consistently. Medium: I really like the clean text editor, it's such a nice writing experience.

1. The usuals notion,Trello, excel (for productivity) 2. mynoise.net Dr. Ir. S. Pigeon (for soundscapes) 3. Audible for runs
Raffi Chilingaryan
Apple Podcasts: My worldview is slowly being shaped by the 5 podcasts I listen to (not sure if that's good or bad lol, but it definitely allows me to streamline my news intake). YouTube: I've just learned so much on YouTube it's not even comparable to other resources. Steddy: Helps me pressure myself to get high quality exercise each day. Love the way it feels just like a notepad instead of other exercise apps.

Social Talent
For me, it will be Suite.Social, helps me manage my social media, market my business, and monitor brands - 3 things in one, so I can focus on having more fun.
