4 cool productivity apps, chosen by Moroccan startups
It’s not always easy to organize your
day, prioritize tasks or collaborate on a mission in a stress-free
and efficient way.
To see what entrepreneurs are using lately, we asked 5 Moroccan
entrepreneurs to open their smartphones to us. We could have looked
at their personal data, but instead, we decided to give you their
favorite productivity app.
Trello is a task management app
that lets you organize your professional tasks as well as your
cramming sessions or your sport training. The app is available on
Android, iPhone, iPad, Windows 8 Tablet, and on most
Internet browsers.
Younes Qasimi, the founder of Synergie Media, the web
agency behind Thenexties, has a look at it every morning to prepare
his day, to allocate tasks to his team members and prioritize them.
Younes can follow how each project is doing and adjust their
prority throughout the day.
Any.do is an interactive app,
available on iOS, Android, and web that allows you to manage tasks
in its elegant interface by sliding tasks around, swiping the
screen or shaking the phone to delete them, or turning the phone
sideways to see your calendar.
This app is both complete and simple, says Youssef El Hammal, the
founder of stagiaires.ma, a platform that
connects students and hiring companies.
According to Taher Alami, founder of the web agency Abweb Consulting, it’s all about the
widgets. They give a good overview of the tasks and enable users to
add tasks – via typing or voice – in one click.
Evernote
Evernote lets you save your ideas in written notes, photos or vocal
memos. El Filali, founder of web content creation agency Lorem, uses it to take notes during
meetings, share them with his team, and access them on his
smartphone and computer – the app auto-synchronizes on iOS,
Android, Windows Phones, Blackberry, Mac and Windows.
Google
Drive
The mobile app for what is probably the world's most famous cloud
data storage service includes most of its web platform features:
users can easily store, read, modify, and share files. Users can
also create word processing, documents and spreadsheets or read
Office and PDF files.
Driss Lebbat, cofounder of web hosting company ADK MEDIA, and his coworkers use it
to share documents and collaborate more efficiently.
And you, what apps are you using to organize your work days and collaborate on projects? Are any of you using an app from the Arab world?
