F.lux - To alleviate eye strain
Hootsuite - To handle social media management and automation/scheduling *
Chrome - Hands down the best and fastest internet browser
SERPWoo - Tracking changes in search engine results over time, critical in ORM *
Evernote - I can't believe I used to use Microsoft Word *
Todoist - Keeping track of things to do, batch-organized into projects *
Trello - I'm warming back up to this program for list-making and project management *
Google Drive - Backup of important files, easily reachable afterwards, and I can create/edit documents on the fly *
Compresspng - Free online image compressor. Top notch
Codecademy - Working my way through the Codecademy Web Development Full Stack *
Reddit - Use it more as a research tool and less as a way to pass time and your mind will change *

* I like these enough to actually pay for them (Hootsuite Pro, SEROWoo Bronze, Evernote Premium, Todoist Premium, Trello for Business, 1TB Google Drive, Codecademy Pro, and Reddit Gold)

Awesome resource, thanks for making this thread. Honestly these forums have been an incredible resource, but beyond that:

freepik.com (I find a lot of my logo templates there to work off of)
www.deviantart.com (good for brushes and patterns for you graphic designers out there)
gtmetrix.com (my favorite website for speed checking as well)

hmmmm..... my fav tool is moz and SEM rush.

I use both SemRush and SerpLab >> I can talk only about the UK results with 100% confidence -> the data provided by SemRush is quite often 5-10 positions +- where SerpLab is spot on.. but of course SemRush provides much, much more data
