Hi, hunters! Hope you are having a good work week :) I'd love to know which are your favourite tools for working at home. Also, if you have a related product, tell us what is it about and maybe it'll become part of our routine!
I wouldn't normally have an iPad in an office, but because I work from home I sometimes like to draw things out and airdrop it to my computer. It can really speed up communicating an idea when I have a sketch. Alternatively, I have been enjoying FigJam by Figma
@product_at_producthunt -- I find myself using the sidecar feature on Mac+iPad only coz I'm home. Especially helpful when I'm presenting a deck to lookup/write notes.
Working on an international, fully remote team the biggest thing is dates & timezones. Here are my must-have tools for staying ontop of my meetings & deadlines.
· Fantastical 3.0
· SavvyCal
· MeetingBar 3.0
Other fun tools I use daily
· Stats
· MintClock
· Battery Buddy
· Mumu X
· Poolsuite™
Hey Martina!
Slack, Notion, and Asana are for sure the to-go ones.
Recently I have been using Macro which makes my Zoom meetings more colorful and fun :)
As an entrepreneur, I am very cheap and try to find value for money everywhere. My top products are:
👍 For vide conferencing - Free to use and just easy, usrfriendly Jitsi Meet
(Alternative for Zoom, Google Meet etc) - https://meet.jit.si/
👍 For Team Collaboration, a product I discovered right here on Product Hunt
(Alternative for Slack) - https://mymana.com/
👍 Project Management, CRM, HRMS - OKRs being added now to be released next week, My own product
(Alternative for Asana, Zoho) - https://skhokho.io/
👍 Social Media Management - Well have not found an alternative yet.... but open for suggestions.

Early 0-to-1 stage startup, 100% remote (will remain so), 3 people -- so Zoom, Google Docs/Sheets, WhatsApp.
Our product is kinda designed for new normal: we believe the future of work is going to be heavily individual-centric, as opposed to it being company-centric. And so, Yuga is an employee engagement SaaS where employees plan their long-term career using LinkedIn for login (vs enterprise) and managers work alongside on Yuga to see how the company fits in, for proactive retention. There's also a module for mentor engagement and a Brag/Work journal to track those wins you'd normally lose track of usually.
We're at yugahq.com.
And if you want to switch to a new company, I do recommend my website https://remotefront.io for everyone. It saves you hours of job hunting and sends you related jobs to you 2 times a week so you can enjoy your free time learning new stuff. You would be applying to jobs that are directly sent via email.
@martina_hackbartt You would be amazed to know that remotefront.io is able to curate and post 3321 remote jobs in last 45 days. There are so many remote openings everyday.
Hi Martina,
Hope you are having a good week too :)
Here is my list of tools used for remote work on a daily basis:
- I check my email and then assignments in the ticketing tool (we use our tool UseResponse -https://www.producthunt.com/post...)
- For online meetings we use Whereby and Zoom
- For instant team communications we use Telegram
- Teamviewer for screensharing
- Plus shared documents in Google Docs/Sheets
Hey 😊 As for me, it's Slack, Zoom and Trello for effective communication.
Also, would love to share our product that helps me as a user to keep emotional connections and relationships with my team members and much more. You can check us out on Product hunt https://www.producthunt.com/post...
or on our website https://luckycarrotapp.com/
@alina_grigoryan Hi, Alina! Lucky carrot seems like an amazing initiative. Will definitely take a look at it. Thank you for sharing and congrats on such a great product!
Hey, Martina! I work remotely as a copywriter for an e-commerce brand. Our daily drivers are Slack and Asana (switched from Trello). Couldn't live without those for sure! And, well, email, haha.
It's funny you made this discussion today, though, since I've just launched Setup Scout. It can help you build your remote workspace, which can greatly improve your productivity and even health!
Hello,Martina Hackbarth! I am UI/UX Designer and I am working remotely all my time, for making notes I am using basic app "Notes" on my mac😅 Trello as a task manager. Also I am using websites for looking inspiration and I made own product for this needs:
https://templateshake.com
Recently I made a free work management platform for small and remote teams called TaskPoint. The overall reception from my cohort at uni has been great so far. What is great about it is that features like messages and files are pretty much unlimited. Check it out if you're interested at https://www.producthunt.com/post...
I'm constantly using Slack and ClickUp for quick communication and project managing.
Since our team consists of remote and hybrid working, we use our own video tool to make group video gifts to recognize and celebrate our employees: https://www.vidday.com/video-mak...
It always feels good to surprise and delight a team member!
If you want a platform that's a little more fun than Zoom for virtual connections, we've been using Topia (https://topia.io/), which is a solidly better way to connect for a meeting.
@alexshebar we've loved the energy you've brought into https://topia.io/producthunt and are excited for the next hybrid event! It's a virtual clubhouse made to be magical by the PH community.
Slack, Zoom, Gmail. The usual. :) And, Condorsay.
Since you kindly asked, our tool Condorsay (https://www.producthunt.com/post...) is aimed at helping a team frame and make decisions asynchronously and independently. (They come together at the end, once they've evaluated the options.) So we consider Condorsay to be very supportive of remote work.
We posted on product hunt today. Take a look if you feel moved.
Hello! I usually use notion for teamwork.
However, you can also use our product called Martenly. Martenly is an all-in-one social media management tool. Martenly lets you focus and grow your audience and business at the same time.
Please help us reach the top today! :)

Hi. I really love to use weje.io for my personal to-dos and working tasks. It allows to manage information in easy way. Also it allows organizing every details on your personal way. If you're a visual person like me, it would be a big plus.
@vmigova Hi, Valeria! I've never heard of weje.io, I'm quite a visual person and usually use notion for to-dos and working tasks. I will try it out and let you know! Thank you for sharing :)
Hey, Martina! My team and I are developing an application and, to streamline communication between sectors, we are using Discord, Coda for planning and Figma for designers. We're finding this very helpful!
The app we're working on brings together all of our users' social media pages, contact information and custom links in a single place and allows them to share it via QR Code, direct link or Unio Tag (custom NFC/RFID device that can be attached to any surface - the back of your phone, key chain or any other object). Our goal is to make possible the creation of new connections wherever you want, with just a touch, optimizing time and creating a good experience for the user.
We believe that this technology offers different solutions that can facilitate daily life and large meetings, for example, improving the possibilities of networking.
You can check out the Unio Link project in our social media posts like this: https://www.instagram.com/p/CQhS... or just access myunio.link/unio
I would love to hear your ideas and suggestions about it :)
@gabriela_lopes Hi Gabriela! This tool sounds amazing for small and medium businesses! Great idea. I'll definitely give it a look and let you know my thoughts :)
