Evernote

Among the most frequently recommended applications is Evernote. It was one of the first of its kind and gained popularity due to its extensive functionality. With the advent of a large number of free alternatives, it has lost some of its popularity, but not lost its usefulness – it is still considered one of the best.

Evernote is an all-in-one note-taking app that can help you be more productive by allowing you to create, edit, organize and store digital notes while syncing them across all your devices. It is available on both Android and iOS.

But it’s much more than a notebook. Evernote offers many features, including capturing and storing tasks, images, thumbnails, attachments, and audio. You can also organize all your notes, tasks and hobbies in your own notebooks.

While Evernote is a free note-taking app, you can upgrade to a paid Personal or Professional plan that increases the available storage, size of notes, and many other features.

Taskito – To-do list and reminders

A very useful desktop widget, it is a mix of calendar and planner with Ukrainian translation and a minimalist, uncluttered interface.

• The program allows you to view your tasks on the desktop in chronological order (“Timeline” tab) by adding colored labels that make tracking tasks much easier.
• You can also add notes and tasks without a specific date.
• Among the functions there are also multi-level lists, the possibility of distribution by projects, import of templates, reminders at a certain time and others.

Cloudy

Choose any cloud storage you want. It could be OneDrive from Microsoft, Dropbox, iCloud from Apple, Google Drive or anyone else. All of them provide a certain amount of free storage for your files – usually 5-10 gigabytes.

What does the cloud give? As a rule, there are many advantages apart from getting a subscription to all other services of companies.

• You can keep all your files in storage without fear that a broken computer will cause it to be lost.
• They can be shared using a link that you create for a specific file or an entire folder and send to your addressee. Another person can download your files or send their files to your folder in the vault.
• You can create text files, tables or presentations directly in the cloud without fear that turning off the light will erase all entered data – the cloud automatically saves information as you type.
• Depending on the company, cloud services offer many of their own individual functions, especially a separate “vault” for storing valuable files under a separate password.

Sometimes subscribing to larger amounts of storage can be expensive. But the family subscription, which can be shared with other people, saves the day.

DeepL is a translator that will surprise you

DeepL is a German Google Translate analogue created on the basis of artificial intelligence. In terms of translation quality, it is unmatched today. The very important thing – It works with the Ukrainian language and does it very well.

Why did he make this list? However, you will forget to clarify certain words and phrases. When Google says utter nonsense, DeepL demonstrates context awareness, generates well-formed sentences, and even punctuates.

• A big advantage of DeepL is the presence of a browser extension with which you can highlight the desired text in a foreign language, click the button that appears next to it and easily translate it.
• Also, in some cases, you can translate from one language to another directly from the message input window: simply type or paste the text into the field, press the button that appears in the lower right corner and enjoy the quick result.

The application also has the function of taking a photo (translates the text into a photo), voice input and translation of the downloaded file.

Google Lens

Usually built into the cameras of Android smartphones, this program can be helpful in many situations. First of all, it allows you to work both by uploading stock photos or images and making your own in the process.

• By choosing the second option, you can point the camera at an object to find it on the internet. For example, you do not know what kind of plant or animal is in front of you – point the lens, click the search and you are done. Likewise, you can search for items, miscellaneous items, and much more.
• You can also point the camera at the text, take a photo of it, and then manually select the text you want directly on the photo, or use the “Select all” or “Listen” button. After selecting the text, you can copy it for another application, listen to it, translate it to another language, search it or send it to your computer.
• Other interesting functions of the service include solving homework, Shopping, searching for interesting places and restaurants.

While the app already has a wide range of applications, the company promises to pump it seriously with the help of artificial intelligence in the near future.
