Workflowy. I discovered it almost a decade back and has been with me since. I have seen people move onto other shinier apps but I have never needed to. It stayed simple and easy to use and just works. I run a $4 million profit / year software business on it and a lot of my life (although I do not plan every single thing of my life. Less is more here I think). https://workflowy.com

#12Spotify - in my youth, I was constantly infecting my computers with viruses from downloading pirated music, when iTunes came along, paying for an individual song sucked because I tend to get sick of them - so when Spotify came along, it was actual happiness. Value for money for sure.

But how satisfying was watching your MP3s download one at a time over the course of 2 hours?

#15First one I used was Alta Vista, then several others were tried till I discovered Google. I still mainly use Google, though I had short bursts of DDG and Yandex too.
Today, 'Google' is a verb, but when search engines first arrived they turned the World Wide Web from a mere curiosity into something truly usable.
