Youlean Loudness Meter

I'd sometimes use Cubase with Youlean Loudness Meter (free) if the sound is important enough to tweak it, but this really is last resort. IIRC Audacity can also load VST effects, so this should work too, though I haven't tried it.

Milanote

Milanote is an excellent tool for planning, design and writing. A great replacement if like me you're sick to death of endless Google Docs files.
