SOCIAL MEDIA SCHEDULERS
Metricool This is the tool we currently use for regular social media scheduling. A visual planner shows what you have scheduled and the best times to post. Use with multiple brands each with their own dashboard. It also allows you to bulk upload new posts as well as download past posts. And it does so much more. They have a free forever plan for one brand which includes one account from each of the supported social media platforms.
Missinglettr We love this tool because it turns blog posts into a full campaign automatically. Campaign options such as 2-week blast, 2-month blast, and 6 or 12-month evergreen, make it easy to schedule content and then forget about it. There’s a 14-day no credit card needed free trial.

PRODUCTIVITY SOFTWARE
ActiveInbox for Gmail One of my favorite email productivity tools. I used the free version for a long time, but I’m in love with the paid version.
