Quick context: I build browser extensions for a living, and I published a draft list of the best productivity tools of 2026 as a way to get on the radar of every company on it. A few of my own tools are on the list. The plan is to expand it to 100 before I lock it on October 15. Here is the current 50. Email and outreach: Boomerang for Gmail, Clay, Hunter, Spark, Superhuman Build and ship: Framer, Linear, Lovable AI and automation: Comet, Sider, Zapier Tasks, scheduling, and focus: Brain.fm, Calendly, Fantastical, Freedom, Reclaim, Todoist Writing, notes, and research: Glasp, Grammarly, Notion, Readwise Reader, Willow Voice Meetings and calls: Fathom, Granola Screenshots, recordings, and demos: CleanShot X, Eagle, Loom, Scribe, Supercut Passwords and privacy: 1Password, Bitwarden, Cloaked, Ghostery Tabs and bookmarks: Google Photos New Tab, Raindrop.io Desktop utilities: Bartender, Raycast, Rocket Photo and video: Batch for Google Photos, Aftershoot, Canva, CapCut, Descript, Storage cleaners: Storage Cleaner for Google, CleanMyMac, CCleaner Who am I missing? Make a strong case for a tool and it goes on the shortlist for the final 100.   submitted by   /u/Some-Ad5503 [link]   [comments]
