Tip of the week: Tools to remember


Hey folks, this week I’m recommending a couple of useful tools, loosely themed around helping you recall and remember things:

An extra memory bank: Jot & Paste (pictured above) is a free Windows and Mac app for quickly storing text snippets you might want to access later. Just press Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+Enter to bring up the notepad, write something down, and press Ctrl/Cmd+Enter to save it. Then, press Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+L to access your snippets, which you can copy to the clipboard or insert directly into any text field.

The resulting experience is like a cross between a clipboard manager, text shortcut tool, and freeform notepad. I love the idea and am looking forward to using it more. (Via the Tech Productivity newsletter.)

What’s that word again? Tip of My Tongue is a clever website for recalling those words you just can’t quite remember. Enter part of a word along with its meaning—or perhaps another similar-sounding word—and this site will try to figure out what you’re thinking of. (Via the Dense Discovery newsletter.)
