- Dropshare - Super flexible file sharing that uses my S3 bucket as backend
- Email Hunter - Find people’s email addresses
- Inbox Pause - Turn off Gmail notifications globally across all devices

- Zapier - Glue between various other services (e.g., Sendowl + Drip, Typeform + SMS)
- Zoom - Audio and video conference software (great for quick and dirty podcast recording)
(I tried to limit this list to stuff that’s not obvious, or that I use in a non-obvious way. Like many people, I also use AWS, Bitly, Digital Ocean, Github, Gmail, Google Calendar, LinkedIn, Slack, Squarespace, Trello, Twitter, etc in the usual fashion.)
