UPDATE: The winning collection is Grad Student Life by Artur Berger. We loved Artur’s collection because it’s comprehensive, useful and universally funny. Thanks to everyone who joined the contest!
At Toggl, we use Product Hunt daily to discover new products, stay on track with new releases of products we already use and discuss daily tech innovations with the smartest bunch around.
Lately, we’ve become obsessed with Product Hunt collections – you can find anything from Emoji products to Products of the future on there. These lists are super useful, whether you’re looking for a remote job, starting a new career or just trying out online dating.
It’s also interesting to see new uses of tools, great hacks people have discovered and the tools loved by the people I follow. One of my all time favourites, for example, is of this gigantic list of hacks to make your life easier, from getting text alerts on cheap flights to sorting your Gmail inbox to look like a Trello board.
We’ve noticed that our users are using Toggl for some pretty interesting things too – like tracking how much time it takes to develop a game, to write a PHD thesis or to plan a wedding. Hey, one team even uses real time Toggl data in their shape-shifting logo!
Show us your list
To celebrate the ingenuity of our community, we’re organising a contest to find out about the most creative uses of Toggl.
Here’s the gameplan: Make a Product Hunt collection showcasing the tools you use daily and how you get the most out of them. Then submit the link in the comments here or tweet it to us at @Toggl. Just don’t forget to include us in your list!
The winner – chosen by our team – will be announced on Wednesday, February 24th. The winner gets a shiny new iPad Air and some Toggl swag to boot!
For more inspiration, check out some collections Toggl is already featured in!
Tools for getting f***ing paid
May the best Hunter win!
“The winner – chosen by our team – will be announced on Wednesday, February 17th.”
But it was just announced on this Blog the saem day… is that a mistake, or does Toggl just want to hurry and get it over with? I mean, I know you guys are about being more efficient, but this is kind of extreme.
Hi Rich, thanks for pointing that out, that was a funny mistake 🙂 The deadline is a week from today, let us know if you join in 🙂
Here’s mine: https://www.producthunt.com/@garrido/collections/productivity
Thanks Fernando, great collection 🙂 We’ll keep you updated!
Here’s what I use daily:

Toggl integrates very nicely with Waffle.io, Trello, GitHub and GitLab.
P.S.
I would’ve added Feedly as well, but couldn’t find it on ProductHunt, and apparently I need to be invited to add a new product.
Heey Sami, thanks for the collection, looks great! We’ll keep you posted!
Here I am 🙂
I named my list ‘Learning code from home’, because that is what I am doing. I am starting developer.
I am using GitHub, to keep my projects up to date, good for read and easily accessible. Then I use Trello to manage my projects, keep what is on my mind, what I have done and what I need to do. I use Toggl to track everything I do to get best of myself and my projects. When I work in some team I use Slack to write and collaborate with others. As e-mail I use Google Inbox, I really like what they do with it. Do you know when you need to code something at night? Of course, you have dark theme in you editorset, but it is not enought, what you can do? I use f.lux for that, it keeps my eyes in safe by changing colors on screen. For my coding I use Atom, Android Studio and Visual Studio Community. I like these editors. They make my life easier. Google Calendar helps me to manage my day and get my some free time. Because I am a student I use Udacity, Udemy and others source to learn new thinks and GitHub Student Developer pack to get me software. I use some other thing which are not on the list, like Feedly, it is helping me to get lots of information fast. Thanks for reading. Keep doing great job!

This is a great list, thanks Denis 🙂 I <3 f.lux too! We'll keep you posted!

This looks so cool, thank you Jeremy, we’ll keep you posted!
Tools in this list spoiled our team, we will never go back to boring tools we had been using. Toggl stands as number one in the list – https://www.producthunt.com/@yasiththeba/collections/accessories-for-lean-teams
Thank you, this looks so cool 🙂 We’ll keep you posted!
hey thanks for the contest 🙂
This is my list for my routine in creating medical content (videos, articles etc) and also for communicating with the team.
https://www.producthunt.com/@d_mytilinaios/collections/tech-and-anatomy
I have included of course, my main tool which is my favourite coffee maker. It is so important to keep your caffeine levels stable throughout the day 😉
Maybe your next product could be a “coffee tracker”.
Cheers
Thank you Dimitrios, this is a great collection! We’ll keep you posted!
As a senior in college, these tools help me stay organized, stay on task, and collaborate with my peers on group projects.

I just discovered Toggl this week and I think it’s brilliant! I currently use Toggl to record the time I spend studying for the CFA Level I exam. My goal is to study ~3 hrs/day and I use the weekly report to see whether or not I am on track to reaching my goal.
I look forward to testing out the billable time-entries feature once I graduate and have more time to dedicate towards my freelance web design business.
Hey Josh, welcome to Toggl, I hope you’ll keep enjoying the tool. The collection is really cool, we’ll keep you posted!
Here is my list:
https://www.producthunt.com/@alex_axthelm/collections/useful-things
I noticed that a lot of what I use in my daily workflow isn’t nearly cool (marketable) enough to earn a listing on product hunt.
I’m a graduate student who reads a lot of journal articles and makes notes on them as I am writing my thesis. I work on different platforms from day to day, and spend a lot of time at the command line, usually writing code or prose in Vim.
What I really value:
* Vim
* Tmux
* Terminal
* Git (shell commands)
* A fast PDF reader (Preview/Evince)
Thanks for putting on this contest. Toggl has helped me make a record of what I do. Now you have helped me think about how I do it.
Hey Alex, thanks for this, we love the collection! We’ll keep you posted!
Hey guys, nice contest! This was actually a good reason to create my first collection https://www.producthunt.com/@ocorreiododiogo/collections/apps-i-use-daily
Hey Diogo, thanks for joining, some great tools in there! We’ll keep you posted 🙂
These are my productivity apps:
https://www.producthunt.com/@gorzas/collections/productivity
I also use Pomodoro technique and I usually handle teams with Jira and Confluence (for documentation). As a coder, I usually also use Github and Bitbucket (this only for personal and private repositories).
Thank you, we’ll keep you posted! 🙂
I curated Toggl into my Ingress Agent Field-kit along with other super cool gadgets like, Lilly : the drone camera that follows you, LifePaint : the spray paint that could save your life, Waterfi : the company that will make any device waterproof – as it is cool

Thanks man, you rock 🙂
As a communications/strategy/campaign consultant to change-makers and a new “da-da,” these are the tools I use to “Getting Things Done in a Mad, Mad World”

This looks rad, thanks for sharing, we’ll keep you posted!

Thanks for the chance guys, I am really glad I ran across this post.
Sorry left out what I all use it for. I find that juggling so many different platforms and applications while still trying to maintain social media listings, websites (and yes stocks, sigh) just makes for a hellish day. So every single thing on this list I suggest for others to at least try out and of course Toggl. 😛
Hey Justin, thanks for the feedback 🙂 The collection looks rad! Unfortunately the contest is over and we already have a winner, but keep an eye on our blog for future contests 🙂
