Plann

Plann has been around for ages, Planoly has also been my Instagram planner of choice. Recently due to changes on the Instagram platform I made the ultimate switch to Plann. Plann’s interface lured me in and the ability to schedule my Reels videos. We all know how Instagram Reels has been taking over the social media game. Despite Plann not having the ability for me to schedule Pinterest posts, it still offers a wide variety of features like the option to schedule a post when my audience is online, hashtag analytics and content strategies that other Instagram planners don’t offer.

Lightroom Mobile App

Never mind the fact that the Lightroom Mobile App is totally free, it offers users the ability to edit photos on the fly! The mobile app is easy to use, there are amazing creators that you can also purchase presets that are made for the Lightroom mobile app.

Hautestock

Although, there are many other productivity tools out there Notion makes it easier to keep on top of things without feeling like you creating more work for yourself.

Grammarly

Let’s face is grammar and spelling can be a real pain! That’s why Grammarly is a total lifesaver. It automatically checks the grammar and spelling for you. Install it as a chrome extension and see the magic that happens when you’re typing your blog post content. It’s been a tool that’s been so helpful and it blows your mind how many errors you can make, especially when you’re in that writing grove when the last thing you want is to check the spelling.
