Chrome<p>Google drive (a lot of stuff was done in it)<p>Google keep (really, I&#x27;ve deleted evernote as I like simple in use tools)<p>Pocket (not to forget a lot of helpful links)<p>Gmail<p>Buzzsumo (great tool but I&#x27;ve learned about lately. All stuff was done before)<p>Webflow (to create landing page)<p>Adobe Illustrator (to make all design)<p>It seems that my list is too short.

To be honest, even in the age of web app and services that claim to be doing everything for you, MS Excel is still my best friend.
