Curious Karen - Surveys your customers will want to answer

I love this survey tool. The chat style feels fresh and much more natural than the usual survey tools out there.

Very easy to get a survey up and running. In fact, I just pulled a quick one together so you can see it in action. Check it out

I can see lot's of use cases. And especially where you need to get feedback from people who aren't so tech savvy.

A generous free tier, a pay as you go option (great idea) and an all you can eat monthly version.

SavvyCal - Delightful scheduling software

A new alternative scheduling tool that aims to make it easier and better integrated into your calendar (so scheduling becomes more efficient).

They mention a few reasons you'll love SavvyCal. This one does it for me "Keep your availability up-to-date without pulling your hair out"

No mention of pricing yet so assume free for the moment.

Designtack - Create amazing social media content in bulk

A super simple app for creating social media images (think quotes, but anything you want). You can then download in the right dimensions for FB, Twitter and Linkedin in one go.

If you don't post images to social because you can't face diving into canva or photoshop etc, then this might be the answer.

It's rough around the edges but free to use. Paid version has some extra features.
