[Music]
00:00:33
so while we're on the topic of the best
00:00:35
apps for students Microsoft Office is
00:00:37
one of the best apps that any student
00:00:39
can use I mean you basically use it for
00:00:41
everything out there right now of course
00:00:43
it is a paid software but let me tell
00:00:45
you a way in which you can score a great
00:00:47
deal on not just getting the Microsoft
00:00:48
Office license but a lot of other paid
00:00:51
software as well all thanks to today's
00:00:53
sponsor software keep I'm sure you are
00:00:55
aware of the plethora of scammy and
00:00:57
sketchy websites out there that claim to
00:00:59
offer you massive discounts but just
00:01:01
don't deliver and aren't really
00:01:02
trustworthy software keep changes that
00:01:05
software keep is a Microsoft certified

00:01:34
amazing customer satisfaction that they
00:01:35

00:01:37
head over to software keep and use the
00:01:39
code gtyt 20 to get extra 20 off across
00:01:44
the entire store all right so kicking
00:01:46
things off on the list of the best asked
00:01:47
students my first recommendation is
00:01:49
OneNote from Microsoft see while I
00:01:52
usually prefer using Google keep on my
00:01:54
smartphone for my Windows PC OneNote is
00:01:57
hands down the best note-taking app
00:02:00
especially if you want to use your
00:02:01
laptop as a proper digital notebook
00:02:04
Microsoft OneNote comes with a wide
00:02:06
Arrow features for capturing information
00:02:07
and managing nodes you can type in notes
00:02:10
insert pictures videos tables and more
00:02:13
to structure and connect your ideas in
00:02:15
an efficient manner it's all designed in
00:02:16
a notebook Manner and helps you organize
00:02:18
your stuff very well alright so while
00:02:20
OneNote is great for taking full-fledged
00:02:23
notes or basically using it as a
00:02:25
notebook sometimes you just need to take
00:02:27
simple notes and for that the best app
00:02:29
is sticky notes sticky notes is
00:02:31
basically the same widget that Windows 7
00:02:33
had but now it's a proper app you can
00:02:35
create simple nodes and then stick them
00:02:37
to the desktop or move them around there
00:02:39
freely and sticky notes also comes with
00:02:41
a sync feature so that's also quite
00:02:42
convenient also adding on to this list
00:02:44
of having separate apps for a separate
00:02:46
task while you can use OneNote for your
00:02:49
to-do lists as well I personally feel
00:02:51
having a dedicated app for that is just
00:02:54
way better and for that we have Focus to
00:02:57
do Focus to do brings pomodora timer
00:03:00
technique and to-do list into one place
00:03:02
you can capture and organize tasks into
00:03:04
your to-do list start a focus timer and
00:03:07
focus on your work and study set
00:03:09
reminders or important tasks and errands
00:03:11
and check the time spent at work so be
00:03:13
it managing tasks setting reminders
00:03:15
assigning calendar events or what not
00:03:17
this app is a perfect tool for that
00:03:19
alright now as a student of course
00:03:21
you're working with a lot of assignments
00:03:23
documents PowerPoint presentations and
00:03:25
whatnot basically a lot of text material
00:03:27
now of course it would be a bummer if
00:03:29
you made typos here and there right now
00:03:31
to resolve those things we have
00:03:32
grammarly grammarly helps you improve
00:03:34
the writing quality by identifying and
00:03:36
correcting errors related to spelling
00:03:38
vocabulary and even sentence structure
00:03:41
now it offers add-ons that integrate
00:03:43
with every browser what's more is that
00:03:45
you can even install grammarly as a
00:03:46
plugin into Microsoft Office for easy
00:03:49
usage all right so moving along as a
00:03:51
student of course you have to deal with
00:03:52
a lot of PDFs too unfortunately there
00:03:55
isn't a great free pdf editor available
00:03:57
on Windows or is there the app that I'm
00:04:01
talking about is drawboard PDF which is
00:04:04
available on the Windows store it offers
00:04:05
a plethora of features that let you
00:04:07
easily annotate Mark highlight write
00:04:10
text insert images and whatnot alright
00:04:13
now one of the most commonly used
00:04:14
commands by any student out there or
00:04:16
even a professional like me is basically
00:04:18
control C and then control V you know
00:04:21
you're just copy pasting things here and
00:04:22
there but what if I told you that you
00:04:24
can take your copy pasting game to the
00:04:26
next level by using a proper clipboard
00:04:28
manager like ditto data is basically an
00:04:30
extension to the standard Windows
00:04:32
clipboard where it saves each time that
00:04:34
you copy onto the clipboard and allows
00:04:36
you to access them later as well now
00:04:37
this includes any sort of information
00:04:39
beat images texts videos or basically
00:04:43
any custom format it genuinely boosts
00:04:45
your overall productivity to a massive
00:04:48
extent now of course we use Google for
00:04:50
our searches every day that being said a
00:04:53
lot of students also use Google to find
00:04:55
solutions to a lot of problems but in
00:04:57
that scenario Google really isn't the
00:04:59
best option I have a better alternator
00:05:00
for you and no I am not talking about
00:05:02
chat GPT I'm actually talking about the
00:05:05
best solution for all of your queries
00:05:07
this is Wolfram Alpha their AI is just
00:05:09
amazing and you can use it to get
00:05:11
answers to various questions and do
00:05:13
quick conversions for you in no time now
00:05:15
the obvious use cases uh when you're
00:05:17
trying to convert between different
00:05:18
units calculating time or distance
00:05:20
between two places general knowledge
00:05:22
math problems and whatnot now while
00:05:24
there is a dedicated app available for
00:05:26
Windows if you want you can just use
00:05:28
their website portal for free moving on
00:05:30
cloud storage is super essential in
00:05:32
today's world and for that we have two
00:05:34
great options see the go to choice is
00:05:36
OneDrive which comes pre-installed on
00:05:38
your Windows machine and syncs perfectly
00:05:41
with your OneNote app as well with that
00:05:43
being said the free plan only comes with
00:05:45
5gb of space available which can get
00:05:47
filled up quite rapidly depending upon
00:05:49
your use case as such the other option
00:05:50
is Google Drive which also has a
00:05:52
dedicated app for your Windows PC the
00:05:54
backups are done automatically and it
00:05:55
offers 15 GB of space in a free plan
00:05:57
alright now student life is full of
00:05:59
interactions and Communications you want
00:06:02
to interact and communicate with fellow
00:06:03
other students and sometimes even
00:06:06
teachers and WhatsApp just does not cut
00:06:09
it at times Well a good communication
00:06:11
app for your student life is Discord ah
00:06:14
yes while Discord is mainly used by
00:06:16
Gamers a lot of students also use
00:06:18
Discord for communication you can create
00:06:20
channels and do anything from basic
00:06:22
messaging to video calling and screen
00:06:24
sharing there's easy file sharing as
00:06:26
well and you can create communities or
00:06:28
groups for special projects as well now
00:06:30
moving along we all need a good web
00:06:32
browser for our web browsing needs
00:06:34
basically and while Microsoft Edge has
00:06:37
improved quite a lot and I personally do
00:06:39
use it as a student I think you should
00:06:42
be using something that's safer to use
00:06:44
and in that context nothing needs Brave
00:06:47
browser out of the box Brave browser
00:06:49
blocks trackers and third-party cookies
00:06:51
that monitor your activity as you travel
00:06:53
across the web it enforces https
00:06:55
everywhere and even comes in support for
00:06:57
Chrome extensions so migrating isn't
00:06:59
going to be an issue for you what's more
00:07:01
is that you also get an inbuilt ad
00:07:02
blocker along with cookie control script
00:07:05
blocking and poor site Shield controls
00:07:07
and well that was it as always you can
00:07:09
find the download links to all of the
00:07:11
apps that I talked about down in the
00:07:12
description box if you found this video
