As the title says, what's your go-to when it comes to things like notes and maps. Personally, I like Obsidian and Tabletop RPG Map editor II from the lead dev of Dead Cells.

I also like https://when2meet.com/ for resolving scheduling conflicts.

I use LogSeq to organise all my notes. My group meets in-person, but I use Foundry to put background art, NPC portraits, etc. up on a screen, as well as to manage any NPC character sheets.

It may stretch the definition of 'tool' a bit, but the other thing I do is set up my laptop with four desktops/workspaces (notes, Foundry, music, rules) so I can switch between them with Ctrl+Windows+Left/Right. It's a minor thing, but I am constantly surprised by how many people I run into who don't know that you can do it. Switching desktops feels like much less friction to me than Alt+Tabbing between windows for some reason.

Windows finally has persistent workspace order? Last time I was forced to try Windows out, there was no way to consistently switch to a workspace without looking at it to figure out which one it is

Yeah, it works well enough. I haven't had any issues, at least. On Linux, I prefer something along the lines of Workspace Matrix to get a proper two dimensional layout, but on Windows, the built-in workspaces have been at least sufficient for game night and don't require any additional setup
