We live in an ever-changing world, and sometimes it is hard to keep up with the flow of new apps, start-ups, technologies, and trends. To help you stay up to date, we have compiled a list of some of the best apps and start-ups to inspire you to take your business to the next level. We focus on apps that help you start or run your business better and things like personal productivity and time management tools. Here are our top 10 picks!
1. A Life Compass by Funvestor
It is always a good idea to plan for your future, and with A Life Compass, you can start setting goals, tracking them, and figuring out how much money it will take to get there. It’s an excellent tool for keeping all of your financial dreams in order, but it also allows you to connect with like-minded people who share similar passions—and they just might become some new friends along the way.
2. Homesnap
Are you looking for condos for sale in Mississauga? Homesnap is a helpful app that allows you to find and quickly buy homes in your city. What makes it different from other apps like Zillow is that you can set your budget and home criteria, save all of your favourite properties, and get new properties directly sent to your inbox when they hit the market.
3. Evernote
As a productivity app, Evernote allows you to take notes on your desktop computer or mobile device and easily access them from other devices. It is great for jotting down notes about an idea for a new business or start-up that comes to mind while you’re out with friends. Cloud storage services such as Dropbox are also great for organizing ideas and images related to new businesses in one central location. For instance, if you search for bungalows for sale in Hamilton, you can easily manage information on price, location, and attached pictures.
4. Blaq
This app was designed to capture and share inspiring moments. Look at Blaq’s curated collection if you want to find some fantastic photos for your projects. Users can also post their pictures from other apps to share with others in real-time. It is a great way to be inspired by what other people are doing!
5. Muse
The Muse is a tool for job seekers to create a professional and custom resume easily. It can be helpful when applying for jobs, especially if you are switching industries. With The Muse, you will be able to tailor your resume based on each company and role that you apply for. If specific keywords or buzzwords are essential to that company that you don’t normally use, you can plug them into your resume so they stand out and make an impression when recruiters review them.
6. Google Keep
Google Keep is a great productivity app for Android that can help keep your daily tasks on track. Tasks and notes can be synced across your devices, ensuring you never miss anything. Take pictures with your phone and transcribe them into text-searchable, organized text—by snapping photos of letters. When I see someone struggling to organize their thoughts or research for an upcoming project or create a list of condos for sale in Mississauga, I send them a link to Google Keep. It is incredibly simple and saves you from carrying around a notebook or tablet full of sticky notes. Even if you don’t end up using it as your go-to note-taking tool (which I highly recommend), at least get familiar with it so you know what options are out there when looking for something better in the future.
7. Fitocracy
When you get tired of exercising, it can be challenging to stick with your fitness routine. However, Fitocracy by Fitocracy is here to help! This app lets you earn points by working out and levelling up once you hit certain milestones. There are over 100,000 user-created exercises in a wide variety of categories for every skill level—even beginners can benefit from a little competitive motivation when exercising. As your fitness skills grow and improve, so does your rank on Fitocracy.
8. TripCase
TripCase is an app for mobile devices that makes trip planning easy by taking all of your travel documents, reservation details, and itineraries with you wherever you go. The free version allows users to manage up to three trips at a time, while a $4.99 premium subscription adds unlimited trips and priority customer support.
9. Basecamp
Did you ever try to find a tool that made it easy to manage all of your projects and help you get organized? Basecamp has helped countless small businesses manage their projects, on-and-offline events, marketing campaigns, and overall organization. It is free to use for up to three people on an unlimited number of projects.
10. Nextdoor
While many people like to buy houses and bungalows for sale in Hamilton, knowing what you’re getting into can be hard. The best way to figure out whether or not a property is worth buying is to check in with other users and read their reviews. Nextdoor is an app that lets you browse listings based on local feedback. You can connect with the local community and get information about your neighborhood.
