Productivity

Productivity tools here are deliberately small: Pomodoro and countdown timers, quick scratchpads, checklists, whiteboards, note takers, and focus aids. They open instantly in a tab and ask nothing of you beyond the task in front of you.

Their advantage over full productivity suites is that there is no setup cost and no system to maintain. The trade-off is persistence, so before you rely on one, find out where your data lives. Some keep everything in browser storage, which disappears if you clear your cache or switch devices, while others offer an export or optional sync. Pick according to whether the content is disposable or something you need next week.
