Apps All Online Businesses Should Have

Here is a list of the best free internet applications for improving productivity for your online business. I have included a brief synopsis I have taken off their websites.  Most of these tools are browser based and can be used from any computer without having to download anything.

1. Launchy:  is a free windows and linux utility designed to help you forget about your start menu, the icons on your desktop, and even your file manager.
Launchy indexes the programs in your start menu and can launch your documents, project files, folders, and bookmarks with just a few keystrokes!

Quicksilver: is a more advanced version of Launchy for  Mac users. For a more advanced version for Windows you can try: Autohotkey or Memo Keys.

2. Hyperwords: With Hyperwords you can select any word on any web page and choose from powerful commands, including:
• Reference • Search • Translation • Conversion • Email • Twitter • Facebook • Tag • Blog • & More.

3. Google Calender: Is there anything from Google that isn't great? Click the link to see how their calendar goes above and beyond just telling you what day it is.

4. Rescue Time: Automagical time tracking & tools to help you focus (from light "nudges" to blocking for short periods of focus) and track project time. This program is great to see how productive you are being while working from home.

Toggl is another tool to help track your time



5. Wakeupsonstandby: Once activated it resides in the system and wakes it up at predefined time, runs a file and if necessary sends it into Stand-by mode, hibernates it or shuts it down. It can also be used to run scheduled operations every day, or on specific day(s).

6. Evernote: Use Evernote to save your ideas, things you see, and things you like. Then find them all on any computer or device you use.
