Language opens many doors
I am currently at a streak of 167 days in the Italian course. I love that it’s made to be so simple that I have no excuse to do some progress every day.

42% of the internet is on WordPress for a good reason.
WordPress is the most powerful and flexible CMS.
There’s a learning curve, but it’s totally worth it, you can always DM me on Twitter, I’m happy to help.
You will need hosting to run WordPress. I have switched hosting multiple times for slow site speed, security problems and high prices.
What I use now and recommend: ChemiCloud (Here’s an updated Google Sheet that compares in depth every hosting out there). For design, I use the Elementor page builder plugin.
Productivity Life-Hacks
Price🏷️ $2.49/m (2-year plan)
✅ 30-day free trial
✅ Unlimited Devices
Surf the web anonymously and safely
My go-to when connecting to free WIFI and bypassing geoblocking on websites. The cheapest VPN out there, and very fast and feature-rich as well.
Price🏷️ Free (+ Open Source)
✅ Windows
❌ MacOS (Use Raycast instead)
Launch everything, fast and efficiently
The built-in Windows search is slow and inefficient. Clicking on icons is a thing of the past. Using FlowLauncher, you can search files, websites, bookmarks, Spotify, Notion, or ChatGPT at the speed of light.
Price🏷️ Free (optional paid plan)
✅ Windows
✅ MacOS
Automate your typing
I have saved so much time using this app. Every time I find myself typing the same thing more than 3 times, I create a text snippet for it.
You can also use some advanced cool features like automatically adding the person’s name into the text-snippet on twitter messages, for example.
Price🏷️ Free
✅ Windows, MacOS & Linux
✅ Android and IOS
All-in-one messaging app
Whatsapp, X, SMS, Slack, Telegram, Discord, LinkedIn, etc.. all in the same place.
If you ever dreamed of reaching inbox-zero, this is the way to go. And this also means that I can respond to Instagram and Twitter DM’s without getting distracted in there.
Price🏷️ Free (optional paid plan)
✅ Cheap paid plan, less than $3/m
✅ Student Discount 25%
✅ Available on every device and OS
To-do lists, Habits, Calendar
Honestly, there’s plenty of good to-do list apps like Sunsama (paid), Routine, etc.
I like TickTick, and it works great for me. It’s extraordinarily cheap, and the two-way sync for Google Calendar is great for daily planning.
Price🏷️ Free (+ Open Source)
✅ Windows
✅ MacOS (for Mac, Arc is even better)
The Chrome replacement
It’s much, much faster than Chrome. Ad-blocker by default, and privacy first. Then there’s the crypto stuff, but you can disable all that if it’s not your thing.
Price🏷️ Free (optional paid plan)
✅ Windows, MacOS & Linux
✅ Android and IOS
Your notes app personalized for you
I have tried several note-taking apps, and Notion is the one I keep getting back to. It’s so flexible that I can literally build anything on there: my business dashboard, book notes, finance tracker, content calendar, recipes archive, etc. Some people prefer the simplicity of apps like Evernote and Obsidian tough.
Price🏷️ $4.00/m
✅ + Access to Reader (read-later app)
✅ 50% Student Discount
✅30 days free trial (60 days if you use my affiliate link)

The most powerful screenshot app
I love many of the advanced features, such as uploading to Imgur, OCR, GoogleDrive backup, and GIF/Video recording.
That being said, due to the vast number of features, it can be somewhat overwhelming to configure.
Price🏷️$6.49 (annual plan)
❌ Expensive
✅ 55% OFF Student Discount
✅ 30-days free trial & 30-day money back garatue
Set it once and forget it data protection
I used to get spam calls and emails everyday, turns out, my personal information was being sold by data brokers without my consent. Incogni contacts those data brokers on your behalf, and removes your personal information.
Browser Extensions (useful)
Stop paying $30/m for Superhuman
Transform Gmail into a beautiful, simple, and premium experience.
Hide YouTube sugestions, shorts, and other distractions.
I used to spend 2/3 hours per day on YouTube on random rabbit holes. Not anymore.
AI Writing and Grammar Checker
I am not an English native, so Grammarly grammar checker is a must-have for me.
Minimize videos into a small window
Honestly, I don’t know why most browsers don’t have this functionality by default.
Free, open-source ad content blocker.
It is the most robust ad blocker and is 100% free. If you are not using Brave, install this in your browser.
Auto apply coupons + cashback
I mean… who doesn’t love to save money when shopping online?
Best Free & OpenSource Password Manager
Don’t save passwords in your browser, and don’t use weak, reused passwords. Using a Password Manager will protect you against data breaches.
Random Fun Websites
Games, visualizations, interactives and other weird stuff.
This site is genius. Go waste some time in there.
The Useless Web Project
The perfect button for the bored, or those looking to find random sites online!
A puzzle about domino dots.
The best parts of sudoku, mixed with those little tiling puzzles you’d play at the dentist.
Explore the world
If you’re not careful, you might find yourself spending hours lost in the streets of Istanbul and Buenos Aires.
