YNAB (You Need a Budget) - The only reason I know where every dollar is (without the cognitive overhead that suggests) is because of this tool
keybr.com - Retrained myself to type on an ortholinear ergo keyboard after 20+ years of bad habits and pecking at membrane keyboards. Went from frequent wrist pains and breaks needed, to being able to type for hours on end. I still take breaks, but not because of hand pain anymore. I used keybr.com to help retrain my typing skills in a few weeks
Rectangle - even though the latest macOS has window snapping, it did not for many, many years. I like how configurable this window snapper is, with hotkeys and customizable window sizes. Easily worth the $4 one-time charge

Also - to each their own, but if you’re paying to meditate, you’re doing it wrong
