Programmer's Tool – Useful utility that will increase your productivity
3:28 PM
Computer Software, Productivity, Utilites
I have always loved automated operations. It excites me when
a computer software can do some cool basic operations on my Windows PC.
Recently I found Programmer’s Tool, which represents a great utility to run
common tasks. It will enable you to run different programs and commands and
launch menus, but let’s see what exactly you can do with Programmers Tools.
Well this light and simple software offers 3 groups of
features.
1. Shortcut keys
You can set shortcuts for tons of functions. For example you
can set commands to launch or activate applications. It is a neat feeling to
launch apps with only one command. You can even copy texts to clipboards. Even
though you can use all buttons on the keyboard, it is still pretty useful
feature to have.
2. Quick Launch Menu
What I really like about Programmer’s Tool is that it
enables you to create custom menus. These custom menus can be opened with
custom hotkeys. The great thing is that not only you can add applications to these
menus, but you can also add files.
3. Notifications
Notifications are useful if you want to be reminded about
something. You can create them to repeat or to show up in a specific date and
time.
Conclusion
Simple and easy to use, with lovely minimalistic design, Programmer’s Tool has quickly
become one of my favorite Windows utilities. The functionality, the features it
offers and the UI of the app are just top quality. Everything is easy to use
and understand, but yet the software can be really useful if you use it wisely.
This software needs to get more attention. It is totally free and you should
definitely try it. You can download it from their website or from CNet.

Computer Software, Productivity, Tools
As a freelancer myself, I get all my work done on a laptop
or PC. Very often I get stuck on distracting websites like Facebook, Twitter
and YouTube. I don’t do anything special, I just stare in the screen to see if
there is anything new or interesting, while I simultaneously work on an
article, project or some design. This is draining my time and ruining my
productivity. Well, my life completely have changed with Focus Now.
FocusNow is a productivity app for Windows that will enable
you to block the sites that are taking your attention. Actually you can block
both, online and offline distractions. Using the different modes, you won’t be
able to access your favorite websites and programs. This will make you to focus
on the task you need to get done and it will definitely enhance your
productivity.
Focus Now is extremely easy to use. There are 3 different
work modes. The first one is called Work
Block Mode and it will enable you to block websites and apps for a specific
amount of work time. The Pomodoro
will enable you breaks at 25 minutes (you can change this in Settings) intervals,
all with the simple goal to relax and rest. The Schedule will give you the ability to set your own schedules
depending on your work rhythm and duties.
Focus Now is great idea with the perfect realization. I am sure that many people who get their job on the computer will appreciate it. FocusNow is a small, but very powerful tool that can boost your productivity significantly!
