At previous article we had recommended some programs to accompany you at breakfast. Now it's time to discuss some free software titles for the morning.
In the case of desktop computers, it's almost impossible to find a field where there isn't a usable free software title, although we can't say the same for mobile devices, we'll manage to include some titles.
free software for tomorrow
The morning of most adults is divided into two; going to work and work itself.
going to work
It is possible that for you who live in normal countries (Though if I have to believe my contacts on Twitter seem to be getting fewer and fewer), the idea that one needs to find different ways to get to work may seem strange to you. However, if you had to live or work in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, you never know when a surprise strike or protest will not force you to find alternative ways to get there.
OpenMultiMaps

Agenda
Despite its name, it is nothing more than a simple task managers that we can install from the FlatHub store.
You just have to write the list of tasks and it is saved automatically and you can see how many we finished and how many are pending until we decide to delete them.
No need to type the repetitive tasks as the autocompletion will take care of everything.
furtherance
One of the classic pieces of advice from productivity specialists is that if you want to make better use of your time, you must first know how you use it. The big problem with those kinds of apps is that you never know who you're sharing your data with.
furtherance is a utility for tracking time usage. Available for Windows (Microsoft Store) Linux (FlatHub), Android and Mac. The database is only limited by the storage device (it is saved locally) and can be copied or transferred. Tasks are grouped by date and activity by name and date, and the program automatically suspends tracking when the computer is idle.
This week in my life
The title translates to This Week in My Life and it does just that, allow you to organize the tasks that you must do during the week by writing them on cards that you can change their position by dragging them with the mouse.
You can install it from the FlatHub store.
Planner
This program it will be much more useful for planning and managing more complex projects.
Planner allows you to establish in one place the goals, the plans to achieve them and the tasks necessary to follow them. Projects can be divided into sections and in case they require work in different locations and with different devices, syncing via Todoist account is supported.
To ensure compliance with the goals established within the specified period, you can connect the program with your preferred calendar application.
