Pitch is a presentation workspace from Berlin where an agent drafts, several people edit at once, and the sent link reports who opened it and which pages held them. The free tier builds presentations without limit and paid plans start at 10 euros.

The reference product for board-style project work, where dragging a card expresses the state of a task and both an individual and a small team can start quickly. The free tier allows ten collaborators per workspace; paid tiers add calendar, timeline, table and dashboard views.

A cross-platform app that holds tasks and a calendar in the same window, records an item by voice, shares a household shopping list and plans the day. The free tier is meant for personal use over the long run, with builds for phones and desktops.

Logseq is an open source knowledge base where every line is a block: inline it into an outline or point at it from another page. Daily notes, card review and queries cover writing, revisiting and gathering.

Polaris Office is a cross-platform office suite the publisher says reaches 234 countries and 130 million users; the web edition needs no install, and the perpetual licence is a one-off purchase that runs offline without signing in.

Evernote keeps notes, tasks and calendar in one place, and version 11 adds an AI assistant, semantic search and meeting transcription; the free tier is capped at 50 notes and a single notebook across five platforms.

The to do app that ships with Apple devices costs nothing and covers a whole workflow according to the official guide: subtasks carry detail, list and column views switch freely, smart and pinned lists keep things grouped, and grocery lists sort themselves.

Toggl is a time tracking and workload planning tool for teams, with automatic tracking, timesheet reports and invoicing; clients cover Windows, macOS, iOS and Android, and reports break down utilisation and project profitability.

Press enter for a node, drag to change the level, pick a structure and start filling a ready-made skeleton: a mapping tool whose presentation mode saves you from rebuilding the same diagram as slides.

One minute of planning each morning, a clean page for today and tasks that flow in from mail and calendar: a deliberately lightweight task manager that costs nothing and covers Windows, the web and phones.

Monday puts projects on a single colour-coded surface where a table, a kanban board, a Gantt chart and a calendar all read the same data. Drag-and-drop rules replace code, and a small team can start free.

In distributed work the hardest account to keep is not money but time: who put how much into which project, what a contractor invoice should be based on, whether the daily load is sane. Hubstaff records on duty hours, activity and app usage in the background, builds timesheets automatically and turns them into payroll.

Anytype writes to the device first, syncs between devices over an encrypted peer to peer network where relays only forward ciphertext, and organises everything as objects that can relate to each other. Open source, free for personal use.

NetNewsWire has been subscribing to feeds since 2002 and is still free and open: native and quick on Mac and iPhone, iCloud sync without an account to buy, smart unread lists, search, keyboard flow and OPML import, with no algorithm deciding what comes next.

Clockify puts the useful parts of time tracking into a free plan with no user cap, then carries the record through reports, approval and a PDF invoice without leaving the same tool.
