Hi,
This is based on the "Can you suggest me Free productivity tools?" post of mine. I am grateful with the kind responses from the community. So, I lift the overhead of reading through the comments to find the tools and present you the post aggregating the Tools, their description, link and the price.

Awesome list dude.
Thanks a lot Fayaz :)
Let me know if you would want to add any other tool to this list. Also, let me know if this post helped you. :)
Great post! Would add Evernote to it :)
Thank you, yeah Evernote is one too.
Thanks for the list! If I could find it earlier, maybe I'd save my time not to invent a bicycle.
I'm currently making a todo/time-tracking app for local individuals, absolutely free.
It is in deep beta and lacks a lot functionality and also not translated in any language yet, but if you wanna look at what can be made with Hasure + Vue here you go: todofor.me/
Maybe , a language switching feature would be a great addition.
Yes, as I mentioned, it is still in active development, and I was making it for local designers/developers, that are currently using it. If it becomes something, it is elementary to create a translation using Vue
Great!🙌🙂
Okay, I see that it is in a non-English mode. Would have been easy if it was in English mode. Any plans to release one? 🙂
Thanks a lot for sharing. Your work wouldn't go a waste🙂 all the very best with it! Will definitely check it out. 🥳
I would also add the OneTab browser extension. It has been a lifesaver as I tend to open a ridiculous amount of tabs on different topics simultaneously but I need them stored in separate groups for quick access for when I'm working on specific topics at different times (bookmarking everything is not a solution as I try to keep my bookmarks as clean as possible).
I have also found that with the Share all as web page feature, it's quite easy to use it as backup/versioning of the stored tabs (I periodically store the QR code to have a local link to the generated web page).
this is awesome, i found it 1 month back, i always left open 10s of tabs but also wanted to give restart to my system, then had to copy all links to reopen, but after i came across this app, boom, saves all your tabs in on tab .
Yep :)
Great! Thanks for th contribution 🙂
Basecamp Personal is free, and somewhat limited. But for personal or small projects the limitations will not hurt. What's more important, the company is aggressively pro-privacy. They will not mine or sell any data you share with them.
An other suggestion.
Jitsi Meet a free and open source (so you can also host it yourself) video conferencing suite. Sadly, also this one does not really support non-Chromium browsers. Unlike most video conferencing suites, Jitsi does respect privacy and is fully end to end encrypted.
Amazing, thanks for the suggestion. 🙂
A very helpful one, thank you.
Thank you. Means a lot.
Amazing list! Thanks!
Hope it helps you, thank you.
Thanks for this list, checking out few of these now. 😊
Sure, Glad to help.
See bookmarks.dev as alternative to raindrop.io for your dev bookmarks and code snippets
Sure, will check it out. Thank you 🙂
Thanks for sharing this list. I have started using Notion few days back and I am totally in love with it.
