Over 101 Productivity Tools (Free & Premium) To Get Things Done

Productivity Tools

You might already know that using a set of internet tools is one of the best ways to increase your productivity. It’s different for different people, and it keeps on changing as we find better alternative to the current ones.

Here’s a comprehensive list of some of the best productivity tools and apps — categorized & subcategorized. And hey, it’s possible that your favorite social media productivity tool is missing here but I have already organized all the social media productivity tools at — Social Media Tools 101.

And yeah, most of the tools that I have mentioned here are free or freemium or comes with a free trial.

Productivity: The Fantastic Ten

Let’s start with the ‘fantastic ten’ as the following apps and tools are the most essential tools for (almost) everyone. And apparently, they’re my favorite productivity tools too.

  1. Gmail / Outlook.com — I love Gmail and Outlook.com — with a little bias on Gmail (thanks to its powerful labels, filters, search, and other features) and also it’s my email hub. Here’s a comparison of Gmail vs. Outlook.com vs. Yahoo Mail.
  2. Evernote (Freemium) — Evernote is my perfect blogging companion as it’s an awesome tool to collect and organize stuff as I browse the web. Here’s a list of over 30 Evernote tips and tricks.
  3. Todoist (Freemium) — Todoist is the best task manager app. Period.
  4. Feedly (Freemium) — Feedly is the best RSS reader to organize, read and share your daily news. And it’s too awesome that I don’t want Google to bring back their Google Reader. And yeah, it’s very much mobile too.
  5. Pocket (Freemium) — With over 10 million users Pocket is easily one of the most popular productivity tool. You can use Pocket to easily save articles, videos and more for later. All of your content goes to one place, so you can view it anytime, on any device — even without an Internet connection.
  6. Sunrise (for Windows, OS X, iOS & Android) — Sunrise is a free calendar app made for Google Calendar, iCloud and Exchange. It shows a consolidated view of all your events — from Google Calendar, Facebook, iCloud, Exchange.
  7. Microsoft OneNote — OneNote is a note-taker, to-do list manager, and much more. I personally use OneNote as a planner and to capture & archive ideas. I love its ability to organize content by tabgs and pages and subpages.
  8. Google Chrome — No, I don’t actually want to treat Google Chrome as a web browser. It’s much more! Seriously. It’s Google (with their different cloud services) who showed us the power of a web browser.
  9. Dropbox (Freemium) — Dropbox offers only 2 GB of free storage but still it’s the coolest cloud storage service. I love its simplicity and intuitive interface.
  10. Office 365 (Premium) — If you love Microsoft Office then you’re going to love Office 365. With one subscription, we can use Office on 5 PCs or Macs and 5 mobile devices (that is, you can share your subscription with 5 users) and you (only the primary user) also get 60 Skype world minutes per month. And… all users will get 1 TB of OneDrive free storage.
