Ukraine has been a region of turmoil for the past few months due to Russia's invasion, with the Ukrainian army fighting for European freedom and democracy.

To ensure the Ukrainian army was sufficiently funded, Ukrainian businesses and tech companies played a crucial part in the war.

Ukraine is home to many great products and tech creators. By supporting these products, you'll not only uncover useful apps to improve your productivity, but the profits will help in aiding the Ukrainian economy.

1. Setapp

Setapp is a subscription-based productivity platform available on both macOS and iOS that offers solutions to different problems by making tasks easier to organize, allowing users to get things done. The platform helps users find the right tools to organize their work and increase their productivity, through a collection of high-quality apps and a smart search engine. This allows you to find a personalized recommendation for your problem, instead of just searching for different apps.

Setapp is created and maintained by MacPaw, a software company which is based in Ukraine. The platform is available as a subscription-based service, for a mere price of just $9.99 per month. If you want to try the service before you purchase it, Setapp is offering a limited 14-day trial until 20th June (over the standard 7-day trial).

Made in Ukraine App Collection

Setapp recently introduced a special Made in Ukraine collection of 21 apps by Ukrainian developers. Increasing productivity has never been easier, with apps like XCOrganizer, ClearVPN, and Taskheat.

Buying the apps and supporting their tech products is a great way to support Ukraine by keeping up its economy and financing the Ukrainian army while it is bravely fighting for the freedom of the country.

2. CleanMyMac X

CleanMyMac X has been around for the past 14 years—being one of the few legit macOS cleaning apps that actually work. The app is designed to clean up and speed up your Mac, allowing you to optimize and protect your experience.

Some advantages of using CleanMyMac are that it helps tune up your Mac, organizes your disk space, and frees up tons of storage (which prevents your Mac from lagging and slowing down). This allows you to increase your Mac's speed and free up valuable disk space for other files. The app also fights Mac-specific malware and adware, which protects your computer.

CleanMyMac has also been offering free licenses to journalists who are covering the war in Ukraine, which has been a very generous step by the app's developer, MacPaw. Recently, the CleanMyMac X team has launched a beta version of the updated Menu App that has been expanded to include new tools for monitoring the health of Mac computers.

3. ClearVPN

ClearVPN is a hassle-free VPN solution for users who want to securely navigate the internet and protect their online experience. The app prides itself on its strict no-logs policy and uses industry-grade encryption protocols to ensure that the user's connection is private and confidential.

ClearVPN features a simple and effortless interface that allows you to quickly secure your connection and hop onto the internet—no frills involved. The app is very easy to use, and you'll find options to connect using various country servers in order to mask your location on the internet.

ClearVPN became free for all Ukrainian users during wartime and launched a special Partner program, giving a free Premium account to non-profit organizations. The app also features different shortcuts to support Ukraine by helping people all over the world to stay updated with the current situation. These allow access to trusted news sources and initiatives to support Ukraine and make donations.

One of the specific shortcuts that we particularly liked was Feel the Ukrainian Vibe. This, as the name suggests, allows users to learn more about the country, its people, and its media—including Ukrainian movies, shows, music, and more.

4. Grammarly

Grammarly is an advanced writing assistant that helps improve your writing. Using its AI-powered desktop app or browser add-on, Grammarly can help you create content that's free from grammar and spelling mistakes.

However, Grammarly is a step ahead of your standard spell checker—it scans your text as you write, providing suggestions on how to improve your writing, clarify your tone of voice, and adjust how you communicate with your audience.

5. Spark

Spark is a free personal email client that offers a great combination of powerful features and a clean user interface. The app allows you to combine your multiple email accounts in one place and manage them better.

Additional features such as Smart Inbox, Quick Replies, and Swipe Gestures make it a really great alternative to Apple Mail. The app also features a calendar that you can integrate across different platforms, which is really useful.

6. Casual

Casual is an online project management tool that helps teams plan and execute projects as simple workflows online. Casual places an emphasis on a visual approach—allowing you to view everything at a glance.

You can set up tasks, share project-specific files with other users, integrate your project deadlines with your calendar, and more, all in one easy-to-access place that your entire team can view.

7. Restream

Restream is a multi-streaming tool that allows you to share your live content online. The app not only supports more than 30 streaming sites but also allows you to stream to multiple sites at once unlike other apps.

Restream also provides a number of advanced streaming tools that will allow you to capitalize on your live streams and get more revenue. This includes multistreaming, automation, chat, and analytics so you can measure your success.

Supporting Ukraine Through Technology

The recent war in Ukraine has affected many, but most of all, it's affected the Ukrainian people.

One of the ways you can support the Ukrainian army in their fight for democracy is to support Ukrainian tech products, which will help fund the economy and the Ukrainian people.
