I was inspired by jcrabapple@dmv.community to write up a post about the apps, software and other things that I use on a daily basis.
This is a list that likely changes quite often depending on new apps or software that I find that is useful and beneficial to me and how I do things on a daily basis. This could change depending on work stuff or even personal stuff.
If you have any suggestions for other apps or software that I could be using, let me know via the contact form here: Give Me Suggestions.

If you have any questions about any of these items on the list, please don’t hesitate to ask!
@Cliff if you're looking for recommendations, I use That Shopping List (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.markusliebschner.thatlist). My wife and I can share the lists, and you can arrange the categories to match your store's layout.
@Cliff might I suggest Quillpad, Ente, and Raindrop.io.
