Nobody promised working in remote to be easy. If you’re a cloud enthusiast, you’ll simply love this tool. A single file or a collection – called a crate – can be shared by means of a single URL. With its intuitive drag and drop navigation, you’ll never lose time on searching and uploading your files. This tool is a great alternative to other file sharing platforms, like Google Drive or Dropbox. All your items will be stored in one place and you’ll be able to later view and organize them on any device – even offline! Perfect for those who get easily distracted by cool web content and lose lots of time browsing it. Integrated with Google, Pocket is an app for easily saving all kinds of web content – articles, video, images. It works across all kinds of devices and operating systems – the tool works great especially for dispersed teams, which can be updated at any place and time.
You can create, assign and schedule tasks for yourself and your team members, later tracking their progress. This tool will provide you with a wide range of functionalities to keep your projects on track. Before you know it, the things you couldn’t get used to will become your new habits. Habit List will simply keep you motivated by giving you a buzz for repeating a desired action. If hitting a gym three times a week or performing a backup procedure at the end of each working day is a challenge, the app can help you face it. This tool will be perfect for either those who want to get rid of a habit that disrupts their work schedule or those who find it hard to establish a good habit that promotes productivity. We all lose a lot of time on unproductive habits. The app will create a history of all your ‘dones’, which you can later show to your supervisors, without wasting time to compile a coherent list of tasks completed in a certain time frame. It’s perfect if you’re working with a team and want to track the project progress. Instead of writing things down, first you need to actually do these things and then capture all your completed tasks in the app. This is an app that takes the ‘to do’ list making to the next level. Bonus point? The tool features a small chat box for real-time feedback and discussion. Once they sign up, they’ll be able to see the map and edit it. Once completed, the map can be easily shared with other people. You can add links, images and other media, connecting the dots in different ways to reflect your priorities. This tool is perfect for brainstorming – after signing up, you’ll get access to a board where you’ll be able to create a mind map.
