Instead of emailing them back and forth to schedule a call, Cal.com lets you set which days and times you can meet with someone alongside the length of your meetings.
Cal.com also integrates with Zoom, Google Meets, and other videoconferencing software, making the process of scheduling meetings automatic and seamless. You simply send your meeting partner a Cal.com link, and they can pick a slot that works for both parties.
5. Numblr
Numblr describes itself as a smart calculator combined with a notepad. Through its interface, you can type in numbers, ask for a total, and it will output the result — all without you needing to write out actual arithmetic.
For example, if you receive payments in different currencies, Numblr can easily help you add them all up. You simply note, for example, you received payments of $5k, €2.5k, and £1k. By asking Numblr to total these three, it will automatically convert them into USD and add them up.
