Question: What software is absolutely essential to you

Ultra Recall - by far the most complete and versatile PIM there is, IMHO :) , used 24/7 at work/home to store every important information I come across so that I can concentrate on thinking and undertanding instead of remembering -> for that UR is perfect.

Dont recommend UR if (some standard rants):
- you want to search across databases
- you’re taking 100s of grabs per day so that it’s essential that it takes at most 2.532 seconds instead of 3.5 seconds.
- you need some advanced formatting but pressing CTRL+J and waiting 5 second until your Word opens is waaaay too much.

In that case, just join this website and waste 100s hours installing and removing tons of software ... and 5 years later you’ll realize that UR was still the most comprehensive programs of all you’ve tried
