(1) Asana

The tagline of Asana is "Teamwork without email".

It is a project management and communication management tool. It allows team of people working on a project to share and update all the aspects of a project on a real time basis without the use of email.

It not only allows team members to create a task but they can also assign and comment on various tasks. These changes are visible to everyone on a real-time basis.

(2) Evernote

Evernote has been around for a long time. Even though it is known as a note taking app, you will eventually realize that it is much more than that.

In addition to its core feature of taking notes, it can also record audio for later reference. It can also store your checklists, setup reminders, scan business cards and collect as many web clips as you want.

Essentially, it acts as a kind of reservoir for everything. It also has the capability of scanning handwritten notes and making the notes searchable.

This search feature in this app is awesome and the more you use it, the better it gets. Some of the reviewers have also compared it to the Google for your mind.

It does have a learning curve but it is difficult to take your hands off it once you start using it on a regular basis. It has apps available for every platform.

The basic version of this app is free but you can upgrade to the pro version where you get off-line Mobile support, better search and other features.

(3) Dropbox

It seems such a simple idea on the surface but this multibillion dollar company has executed this idea with such perfection that no one, even the big web giants, has been able to create a dent in the popularity of this app.

It is the most elegant file synchronization tool that gives you access to your files irrespective of the device you are on. It is available on virtually every platform and you just need Internet connectivity to get access to your files in the Dropbox account.

It lets you access both your personal and corporate account from inside the same app. There are two tabs inside the app for each account. It currently offers two GB of space for free that can be increased to 1 TB for less than $10 a month.

The prices will keep going down as the other services also offer similar service and keep driving the price down.

To use this, you just need to drag the files you want to be available at all times into the Dropbox folder and everything else is taken care of by the app. It also lets you share files in your account with the whole wide world by allowing you to share a particular folder or file.

(4) Any.Do

It is one of the most popular task management or to do list apps which offers you time and date reminders in addition to the geolocation reminders. The good thing about this app is that these features actually work and in a good manner.

The geolocation reminders feature works flawlessly. Once you want to have a reminder when you are near or reach a particular location, the app will alert you when you reach near that particular point and it works every time. There are some other apps which offer this feature but it does not always work in the other apps.

As far as the core feature of acting as a task management or a ‘to-do’ list is concerned, it shines in that department. You can setup your tasks in a particular category and also on particular dates. You can also search your tasks later by category as well as dates.

Its interface is also very easy to navigate as everything collapses and expands when needed. The most liked feature of this app is the Any.Do moment which lets you set a list of to do things for a daily review.

It is currently free for both iOS and Android.

(5) IFTTT

Short for ‘If this then that’, IFTTT is one of the best apps available in the market for automating simple tasks. It works by creating connections between various web services, which it calls recipes.

In simple terms, it lets you create programs without knowing programming. It supports a lot of different services such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Evernote, Google Drive, Instagram and many others. It also allows you to add a phone number for sending texts.

It is very simple to use and provides a walkthrough of all the possibilities. You can create your own personal commands with the help of its simple interface with big sized fonts or you can choose to use one of the hundreds of recipes shared by many users all across the internet.

There is a recipe for almost everything under the sun. It makes your digital life very easy to manage.

(6) Mailbox

It quickly became one of the most hyped apps of the year when it made its debut in the year 2013. One of the main reasons for its popularity was its intuitiveness and clutter free interface. In essential terms, it simply redefined e-mail.

Since the app is owned by Dropbox, you also need to provide authorization to let it access your dropbox account and it uses dropbox for syncing.

The biggest selling point of this app is the swipe gestures used for common e-mail functions. A short swipe halfway to the right archives message whereas long swipe all the way deletes it.

You can also ‘snooze’ a message which means it can hide the message for the time being and can bring it up later. It also has a list feature which does require some work but overall it is one of the best email clients.

(7) Microsoft Office

Microsoft finally decided to launch its office productivity suite on the iOS and Android mobile platforms. It does require subscription to the Office 365 for business users but is free for home use.

There is no need to define the uses of Microsoft Office Suite. Literally everyone has grown on Microsoft word and Microsoft Excel and who can forget the Microsoft PowerPoint.
