  1. A second brain, for you, forever. Obsidian is a powerful knowledge base that works on top of a local folder of plain text Markdown files.
    Obsidian - It is quite a great piece of software to create Markdown format notes, because it allows you to create “connections” which you could view as a graph or rather “brain” in which connections are brought out between different ideas/notes. Link here: https://obsidian.md/.

  2. Any individual who has ever gazed restlessly at a knotty condition needing an answer has longed for some sort of hatchet to slice through the issue.
    Mathpix - This is quite a new software for me, but so far it has proven to be incredibly useful, especially when I need to copy formulas/equations into my Lab protocol. It allows you to use OCR to copy the formulas in many forms, which does include MS Word copy, LaTeX copy and some other ones. It does have a solver, but I don't know how well it functions. Link is in the name, but also visible here: https://mathpix.com/.
