productivity tool
Work output enhancer
A productivity tool is software or equipment designed to help people work more efficiently—word processors, spreadsheets, project managers, note-taking apps.
The category is broad and sometimes marketing-driven; almost any workplace software gets labeled a productivity tool.
I spent the morning trying out new productivity tools instead of actually being productive.
