5. LastPass app
If you're anything like me, it is the biggest pain in the ass to try and remember every single password you've got, considering just about everywhere requires them now. With LastPass, you don't need to remember all of the passwords as it stores them securely for you. Even though it may sound scary and unsafe, you do still need a password to get into LastPass, meaning you've only got to remember one password rather than hundreds.

6. Boomerang extension
We've all been there: it's nearly 3am and you've just remembered the email you needed to send your lecturer, but don't necessarily want them seeing the 3am time stamp. Thankfully, Boomerang is here to help. It's an extension for Gmail that allows you to schedule when you want emails sent out. It can also help declutter your inbox by scheduling important, time-sensitive emails to pop back up again when you actually need them.
Cost: It's a free extension, you've just got to have Gmail.
