From being a freelancer for 5 years then going back to corporate and working from home during this pandemic, I want to share with you the apps that I still use (you can listen to this episode where I share my top 12 desktop tools in 2018) and the new apps that I discovered and love this 2020.

The Top Productivity Apps That I Use to Work From Home in 2020

• Chrome – the best browser out there
• Workplace Chat – Slack competitor by Facebook
• Franz – combines Messenger, Watsapp, Skype, Telegram and Slack in one app (no need to open each app one by one). Viber is not included, which brings me to…
• Viber – the desktop version of one of the top messaging apps
• Trello – my favorite project management tool
• Zoom.us – the popular video conferencing tool of this pandemic
• Google Meet – Google’s Zoom competitor
• Evernote Premium – my favorite note-taking and organization app (signup here to get one month free of Evernote Premium)
• Copied – automatically keeps a history of your clipboard (every time you Control-C) in one app
• Chrome Extensions
  • LastPass – my password management tool of choice
  • Evernote Web Clipper – this is how I bookmark websites for future reference in Evernote
  • Clipboard History Pro – similar to Copied but this is a Chrome Extension
  • Krisp – removes background noise whenever you make video calls (120 minutes free per week)
  • Cluster Window Manager – groups and then saves a copy of Chrome tabs so that I can reopen those tabs in one click (no need to open one by one)
• Streak – CRM slash project management slash email follow up tool that you can use inside Gmail
