Safeguard your privacy
1.1.1.1: a DNS resolver that lets you browse without your ISP being able to track which websites you visit.
1Password: my password manager of choice. I’ve written about the importance of using a password manager.
Ghostery: a blocker for your browser that prevents websites from tracking you. It makes it super easy to allow or restrict certain types of tracking, depending on what you’re comfortable with.
Tunnelbear: when you’re working from a coffee shop, it’s good practice to secure your connection with a VPN. Tunnelbear is super easy to use and is beary full of puns.
Work more efficiently
Basecamp: awesome project management software for teams. The founders run a thoughtful blog on productivity.
Calendly: for scheduling meetings. Just connect it to your calendar and people can schedule a meeting with you when you’re available.
ConvertKit: easy-to-use, reliable email marketing. Allows you to target your emails much better than MailChimp.
Fantastical: much better than Apple’s Calendar apps.
MindNode: mindmapping app for Apple devices. A great way to get your thoughts on “paper” before you start working on a project.
OmniFocus: sophisticated task management software. Check out my guide.
PDF Expert: tired of the slow Adobe Reader, but need a few more features than macOS’s Preview? Use PDF Expert: it’s blazing fast and it’s chock full of features that will save you time.
Podia: An all-in-one solution for selling online courses, digital products, and memberships. Great for getting your (paid) content out there without hassles.
Scanbot: an app to scan your paper documents to PDFs. I use to digitize any important snail mail I still receive.

10% Happier: my favorite app to get started with mindfulness meditation.
