Palaash from Veena

Acts as a second brain, good for organizing thoughts. The real limitation is sharing: it's built for one person, so anything collaborative has to live elsewhere.

Good tool tracker, and the templates save real setup time. Sharing it with team members is what keeps everyone caught up.

Prototyping ideas quickly is where it earns its place for us. The MCP integration is the big unlock: pulling design context straight into code cuts out a lot of manual handoff.

Quick PDF editing and annotation. Does the one job without a lot of ceremony.

Quick way to get an idea out of your head. As a researcher I've also used it for diagrams and figures in papers, and it holds up for that.
