What’s your current productivity stack?
Soo many excellent new tools come out at a staggering pace to improve our productivity game. As a founder, being productive, missing less critical details, and crossing more tasks off the list are mission-critical, and I try to build my stack in a way that makes sense.
My current stack is:
- Trello for project management
- Akiflow for task management
- Notion for note-taking
- SigmaOS as default browser (And brave for SigmaOS glitches like sites with Cloudflare protection)
- Slack for instant messages
- Webflow for website building
- Midjourney for imagenaking

oh boy... prepare yourself! I've been on a journey to improve this since the start of the year and here is what has been incredibly helpful for me. I've really tried to nail down products i'll ACTUALLY use instead of products that will probably be thrown out at some point. Consolidation is key, and if you have too many things in too many places... well, gg.
- productboard/craft.io/slab for high level product management (haven't solidified toolset)
- Asana for task/project management
- Vowel for meetings (we are async/remote)
- Slack for RTC
- Loom for short async videos
- Testing out relayed.ai as another async tool
- Clover for note taking, personal/short term task management (this is one of my top recommendations right now!)
- Arc browser (Again, this one has been a life changer for my productivity. If you need an invite, reach out to me)
- Calendar apps that aren't default (Testing between CRON and Nook right now, tested all the others but these two stand out)
- Superhuman for email (Another one I highly recommend, I know it's expensive but email used to stress me out so it's worth it to me)
- Keeper for passwords
- Eagle for storing inspiration/designs (eagle.cool)
- Clay for managing contacts
I'll leave it at that! There are more I use, but they are for all kinds of things as i'm a man of many hats. I'm also demoing compose.io right now and its pretty rad, just waiting on some desktop features for it to give it the full twirl.

@craig_sartor Damn, that's a lot.
1. Would love to get an Arc invite. I'm having fun using Sigma, but some bugs make the experience slow, it would be cool to try arc and compare the two.
2. I tried clover, and had fun, but notion AI made me switch back, it would be cool if notion would have the calendar event to page flow like clover
3. How exactly r u using clay? I tried it for a while and didn't see much value...
Thanks for sharing!
@amitay_gilboa_design Yep it sure is!
1. Sure, i'll post it here. Hope you can get one, if not just search me up and fire me an email through bio.link/craigsartor

2. Clover is great, and it actually has AI now. It's a critical part of my day now.
3. I'm not really using it all that much. I've been trying to stay on top of my contacts, add birthdays and notes to important folks and keep contact info organized. As a founder I have a lot of people to talk to so keeping them organized is paramount.
Love your stack...looks so simple and organized! 👍
- I've consolidated my projects, tasks, product management as well as note-taking into Fibery.io (free for startups) also way more flexible than Asana or Clickup or Notion for that matter.
- Love SigmaOS - like it more than Arc actually 🧐 (if anyone needs, I think I can still provide some invites)
- Slack is hard to escape :) many great communities there.
- I do my web in Ghost as well as newsletters
- and would have to list all AI related tools as I'm in nerd testing mode on most of them but for image-making I would also chose Midjourney, seems to me as the most creative one (and most funny) so far
