STREAMLINE BASIC HOUSEKEEPING

Whether you’re signing paperwork, tracking passwords, or just organizing your day, these apps are a good start. –K.R.

Track your time

You can’t maximize your minutes if you can’t collect data on how they get devoured. Toggl lets you (or a team) track every second and assign that time to specific projects. “The Toggl timer forces me to think twice before multitasking, which makes me more focused. Because the reports flow into my billing system, I’ve been able to cut my invoicing time in half each month.” KIM GROTTO President of Grotto Marketing and Now Swim

Never waste time resetting a password again

Who has time to use distinct passwords for every site and app you visit? With Dashlane, you do. The secure password manager tracks all of your logins and automatically enters your credentials as you surf your computer or mobile device.

Automate everything

Stop doing the same manual tech tasks repeatedly. You can set up automation “recipes” with IFTTT (If This, Then That). For example, every time someone tags you in a Facebook photo, the image can be saved to Dropbox; or every time you reach your Fitbit goal, a few bucks can be transferred to a special savings account.

Sign faster

HelloSign lets you review and sign documents right from your smartphone. “I like to review big agreements, and I’m the only person with final signing authority for a lot of them. But no one has time to print, sign, and scan—let alone be tethered to that equipment.” DAVID MANDELBROT Chairman and CEO of Indiegogo
