Final Notes

Final Notes

In this creator stack, we're sharing our favorite tools that help streamline our entire content creation process.

From organizing ideas and scripts with tools like Granola and Notion, to our favorite screen recording tools (we use Screen Studio for all of our videos).

CleanShot X is a game-changer for MacOS too for quick screenshots.

You'll also find productivity tools that help you better manage your time (MKBHD uses Notion Calendar 👀), along with social media scheduling tools to help distribute your content efficiently (we love Buffer, and Ordinal is fantastic if you have the budget).

We also included Superhuman Mail, which can be a game changer if you handle sponsorships or business through email. It helps you organize conversations, manage pitches, and collaborate with teammates directly within email threads, making it easier to stay on top of deals and close opportunities faster.

Finally, not many creators enjoy managing their finances, but it's a necessity if you're earning income (which we hope you are!). Make it easy and use Mercury for banking (the best ever ever) and Kick for AI bookkeeping.
