Many applications have been designed to help you work faster and more efficient. Very few of them come without a price tag and a substantial one too. We’ve scoured the web to find the best free Mac tools that will help you save time and bring your productivity to new heights. To ensure you get the most out of your work time we’ve selected application launchers, notification management apps, organising apps and more.

So let’s get started on boosting that productivity!

#1 DropBox

The easiest way to share and keep your files safe.The only downside is that the free plan only covers 2GB worth of files. You can always switch to their Pro – 50GB ($99/year) and Premium – 100GB ($199/year) plans for a huge increase in storage space.

  1. Cannot get the free offer as I keep getting an Internal error when I try to send my name and email address.

  2. Evernote is a *must have*. Dropbox is ok for file storage but Evernote is easy information management. Apps for any OS and for Chrome browser. Grab anything and put it into a note. Build notebooks and notebook stacks. Automatic OCR conversion when you snap pics as a note. Audio notes. Screen shots as notes. Anything on the web as a note. You can even encrypt text if you want an extra level of security. Yes, I am a fan girl since it was a little desktop clipper. Now it is also a collaboration tool. My Evernote contains every piece of information I need to know and I can access the info from anywhere. Oh, a raving fan of Evernote!
