Recently my wife and I have recently been trying to organize our lives together a little more, and consolidate+manage the tools and services we use use.

For example, we have a family email address (for shared bills, banking etc) and have use cases for a VPN so we pay for a ProtonMail Family subscription to include both. We also pay for 1Password Family (until ProtonMail’s ProtonPass is good enough). I was considering paying for Notion so we could manage our various existing Apple notes, lists etc in a shared space (although I think it’s overpriced for this use case).

This got me wondering what other software or tools are out there that have found their niche amongst bringing families value. What software (or hardware) have you bought/maintained a subscription for that has had a positive impact to your family life?


There is a discussion on Hacker News, but feel free to comment here as well.

    Plex pass… I bought the lifetime one, but it is worth it to me. Plex + NAS + AppleTv and you should need a video subscription service again. Offline downloads onto devices while travelling is just another benefit
