Google Allo
If you want to take messaging to the next level, then you definitely have to give Google Allo a shot. Not only can you express yourself better with stickers, emojis, and more, you get your very own Google Assistant which help you search for relevant materials to add depth to your chats.

Cardlife
If I ask you how many SaaS subscriptions your startup currently runs, will you be able to answer me? Well, by SaaS, I mean any online service you use to operate your business. It could be like a backup service such as Sugar Sync, or a mailing list service like Mailchimp. What we have to acknowledge is that, as we find more useful SaaS solutions to support our own business, there is a greater chance that we lose count and forget about our SaaS subscriptions.
Even when you intend to cancel a certain subscription after a year – you might miss out on the expiry date and end up paying for another year. Cardlife takes care of this by collating all your subscriptions in one place, and help you to manage the SaaS subscriptions so that you never have to lose out again – ever!

Thrust
Ever wish for a tool that can give you someone’s email address without hassle as long as you know their names and the company they work for? Well, Thrust is the tool you can trust. As a business executive, you will need to email a certain staff member at a startup but it’s time consuming to scan through the entire website to find this particular person’s email.
With Thrust, all you have to do is to find in 3 key pieces of information and the email address will appear before your eyes. It’s simple and effective – we love it as a productivity tool!

Web designers will have lots to celebrate with Freebiesbug. When you go to the website, you can search for resources under categories such as Free PSD, Illustrator Freebies, Free Fonts, and more.
It’s literally like a resource portal for web designers so you do not have to go out there and search on your own to differentiate what works and what does not. Simply browse through the resources here and take your pick!

Investor List
Many budding startups know just how importance it is to have the support of investors and their funding. Don’t know where to start to look for these investors? Well, you can just start with Investor List – and just like what its name suggests, it is a list of investors that you can consider.
Some great features here include the ability to search by type of investors such as whether they are VCs or angel investors. You can locate an ideal investor and then reach out to see if they are willing to take a chance in your business.

Timely
Freelancers know just how important it is to manage their time well and improve productivity. Every hour you work translates into earnings and that’s why you should always make use of a time tracking software program to keep productivity in check.
With Timely, you can get a free account to record your work activities and if you are managing teams (and making payments based on time worked), you will definitely love how timesheets are generated automatically with this tool.

All The Free Stock
All The Free Stock has an amazing collection of free stock images, videos, music, icons, website templates, and much more here – which you can use for your work without worrying about copyright infringements.
I like the feature that it can search across multiple sites so you do not have to navigate to each individual site to look for the free stock resources that you need. What’s more, because this site offers more than just free stock photos, I can simply station myself all day at this one website and find thousands of free resources for my creative work.
