Helmut’s Recommendations
Evernote Corporation
Evernote, one of the first note-taking apps, has become a powerful all-around tool for organizing daily life, both professionally and personally. I use it not only for quick notes here and there, but also for taking meeting minutes, as a word processor, for simple spreadsheets, and for collecting articles I come across while consuming media. Emails can easily be forwarded to Evernote. It comes very close to being a “jack-of-all-trades” and, for me, often replaces the need for Office apps.

Traveling by electric car requires some preparation and planning—such as determining whether charging stops are necessary and identifying routes optimized for low energy consumption. "A Better Route Planner" (ABRP) excels at this: it presents alternatives with precise timing for each charging stop and imports your vehicle's data directly from the corresponding car app.
Photos need the darkroom to reach their full potential. On my desktop, I use Adobe Lightroom (also available for smartphones), and on my phone, I use Snapseed, a photo editor from Google. No cheap effects from garish filters—just an intuitive tool for precise image editing. Excellent for both professional and personal use.
