My favourite free and open source productivity apps

bullet journal with marker pen - one of the ultimate open source productivity apps.

Whenever I start a new project, at home or at work, I always get excited by one stage: choosing the tools and organising my work space. Other interesting things happen, too – but picking the right tool for the job is always one of the nicest parts of getting started.

Then I’ll give you a quick review of each app. The good news is that you can start using them out straight away!
