Trello Landing Page

Trello

Infinitely flexible. Incredibly easy to use. Great mobile apps. It's free. Trello keeps track of everything, from the big picture to the minute details.
Pricing:
- Freemium
- Free Trial
- $12.5 / Monthly (Per user - Business Class)
There are so many alternatives to any to-do tracking app that I couldn’t possibly list them here. In the past, I’ve also made good use of Trello, which has a lot of the same features, showing your tasks as cards in columns (known as a kanban board).

Paw.cloud Landing Page

Paw.cloud

Paw is a REST client for Mac.

Another alternative you might want to look into is Paw – it’s a paid tool, and only available for macOS, but it has everything most people would need. The design is simplistic and modern, my only gripe is that it is so feature rich that it has a bit of a learning curve, and some basic actions felt a bit buried in the UI.

Insomnia REST

The most intuitive cross-platform REST API Client ð´
Pricing:
- Open Source
This one goes out to those working with APIs. Insomnia is a dedicated API client, the main benefit being you’re able to hit any endpoint, supplying any data you need in requests to test that everything works properly and getting detailed information around the response for that request.

Fig Terminal

Pricing:

As for auto-completion and suggestions, an honourable mention goes to Fig, a tool that integrates with your existing terminal to display smart suggestions and information when you’re stuck in the command line. Forgot certain commands or the structure of arguments? Fig is there to help.

Excalidraw

Excalidraw is a whiteboard tool that lets you easily sketch diagrams that have a hand-drawn feel to them.
Pricing:
- Open Source
Jokes aside, Figma is outstanding for amateur and professional designers alike. If you’re a big fan of quickly getting ideas down into drawings or creating quick diagrams without worrying about your design skills, Excalidraw is another great tool I can recommend.

Cron Landing Page

Cron

Cron Calendar.

It’s about time. According to Cron, at least. Cron is a “next-generation calendar for professionals and teams”. I’ve been using Cron for about 3 months, and there’s a lot of little, nice things that help you juice that extra bit of productivity in your life.
