Hello, champions of innovation!

So here we meet again to continue our journey through the latest techs in Product Hunt — the place where a solid community gathers to test and evaluate all the app releases that January had to offer.

We’ve compiled a list of the top 10 standout tools, and we’re happy to see lots of productivity, marketing, and sales tools, AI sophistication, and social connectivity.

You’ll certainly find something to elevate your digital experience, streamline your workflow, and introduce you to a world where every interaction with technology is more intuitive, more intelligent, and infinitely more impactful.

Let’s explore!

1. TidyCal 3.0

Tags: Productivity, Sales, Marketing

PH Launch: 18.01.2024

Upvotes: 2465▲

Juggling client meetings, team check-ins, personal time, and the dreaded task of aligning time zones: you know the drill. It can cause complete chaos. That’s why we always love a simple solution like TidyCal 3.0, a calendar organizer that promises to give you back hours in your day.

The app has a suite of features designed to make life easier, starting with a sleek web interface, perfect for both desktop and mobile warriors. It integrates with your existing calendars, Zoom, and Google Meet, and has built-in Stripe and PayPal integrations for those paid consultations.

Embed TidyCal in your emails and let clients book you with no back-and-forth. Create unlimited booking types for the different services you offer — each with its own unique schedule. Plus, with easy-to-create date polls, you can let your clients choose the best time without lifting a finger.

And for the tech-savvy, advanced options like Zapier and API are right at your fingertips.

🪙 Pricing

• Free plan: Free (your own booking page, custom availability, embed on any site, translation/localization, date polls, basic integrations, 1 max calendar connection, unlimited bookings/month, unlimited active booking types, normal TidyCal branding)

• Lifetime plan: $29 one time (custom email reminders, group bookings, guest invites, package bookings, booking limits, auto-create meeting URLs, CSV export, directory access, confirmation redirect, advanced integrations, 10 max calendar connections, offer paid bookings, reduced TidyCal branding)

2. Findr

Search all your apps, at once

Tags: Productivity, SaaS, Artificial Intelligence

PH Launch: 24.01.2024

Upvotes: 1941 ▲

In the era of multitasking, we’re all looking for seamless collaboration between apps, increased productivity, and centralized information. Finding important data between the clutter of Slack, Notion, Gmail, etc. is vital to succeed in our busy days.

That’s why we followed Findr’s ProductHunt launch with some interest. They promise one, AI-powered search across numerous cloud apps.

We think that’s a great idea for an app… so much so that we actually built a similar app ourselves! Curiosity is similar to Findr, but it packs a lot more punch (admittedly we’re biased).

Instead of just piggybacking on each apps’ search like Findr, Curiosity has its own powerful search engine that lets you search local files. Curiosity also includes many more cloud integrations, top-tier security, a smarter AI Assistant, and shared Workspaces for teams. We also have transparent pricing for the AI Assistant so you can get started right away.

So give them both a whirl and see which one works best for your apps and workflow.

🪙 Pricing

• Free plan: Free (up to 3 integrations, unlimited unified search, single account)

• Pro plan: Pricing on request (AI-powered search assistant, unlimited integrations)

From AI-powered apps to next-gen calendars, writing wizards, sales aids, and unexplored social networks, these tools can be the building blocks for a more efficient, more inspired you.

Give these apps a whirl and unlock new levels of accomplishment and connection across all your devices.

The year is young, the tech is fresh — let’s make every moment count!

Methodological note

There are many ways to interpret: “Hottest in the month”. In case you’re wondering, here’s how we put together the list:

• Check the most-upvoted list every day this month (ProductHunt Time Travel)

• Check upvotes as of the day of collection (1st of the following month)

• Select 10 apps with the most upvotes

That means the list is slightly biased towards apps that launched earlier in the month (more time to collect votes). However, since it contains apps from the entire month, we feel that small imprecision is acceptable. Upvote counts are from the day we pulled the data.

We also removed any projects related to NFTs, blockchains, and Web3. If you’re confused why, check out @web3isgreat or @smdiehl on Twitter.
