Getting things done is a challenge everyone struggles with.
One way to tackle this is to make sure you have the right tools for you and your computer. That means having the right apps. The problem is not all apps do what they promise. It’s easy to install a bunch of them, sign up for accounts, and then never use them. Setapp is on a mission to help users get more done by curating and recommending the right apps for you so that you can focus on your work.
