The Ultimate List of Web Startup Productivity Apps

As you might have guessed, our team is particular (read: opinionated) when it comes to technology. The existential debates such as PC vs Mac or iPhone vs Android are a daily occurrence.

Collectively, we like to think we are loyal to finding the right tool for the job more than we are loyal to any one brand.

That said, most of us use Apple computers. Tom recently joined the fray and so the team got together and created a list of our favorite Mac apps. He’s considerably OCD and prone to fits of #ROIDRAGE so I took the time to assemble the information into a nice, orderly spreadsheet.

Here is the rundown:
