  • 1: TickTick: I usually use free services but TickTick is one of the only ones which I actually pay for. It's inexpensive really, and it's my favorite TODO app. I use it on Android and on the Linux desktop (I created a "web app" with Epiphany). It has the best notifications sistem I have ever tried on any app of its kind, and I use it mainly for reminders, so that is a big plus. I also use the Google Calendar integration to see all my events in one place.

  • 2: I recently started using Zoho Notebook and it's pretty good. It looks beautiful (I was looking for some eye candy actually), again I use it on Android and on the Linux desktop (electron app, ugh). It has many options but I use it mostly to store random notes and ideas, but I don't use too frequently. The one thing that I feel it is still missing is the ability to upload images or files to the notes. I know they are notes, not documents, but still, that would complete the package for me.

  • 3: I have tried all the free time trackers. Most of the desktop time trackers for Linux that work offline are awful and outdated, so I ended up using Clockify. It works with an online account to sync across devices, which I don't really need, but it works better than Toggl on Linux. What I really need is just a simple offline time tracker that allows me to create diferent tasks and run a timer on each, that's it. I couldn't find anything usable, so I decided to create my own in Flutter, since I'm starting to develop in that framework. Maybe soon I'll have something to show.

  • 4: I settled with MEGA, mostly because it gives me those sweet sweet 50GB for free, and the Sync client for Linux works great. I also use MEGA (with a diferent account) on my Android phone to upload my pictures and videos.
