🔐 Choosing Digital Tools Safely

Before using an app or online service, it can be useful to consider accessibility, cost, privacy, advertising, data collection, subscriptions and whether the tool genuinely meets your needs.

💰 Check the cost
Look for subscriptions, trials and in-app purchases before committing.
🔒 Check privacy
Consider what personal information the service asks you to provide.
♿ Check accessibility
A popular app is not automatically an accessible app.
🧠 Check the cognitive load
Too many reminders, menus or notifications can sometimes create more pressure rather than less.
⭐ Try before relying on it
Give yourself time to discover whether the tool actually fits the way you work.
🔔 Adjust notifications
Turn off unnecessary alerts and keep only those that are useful.
