![]() Instead, we use Timemator for much more accurate tracking. But we ditched its time tracking because the mac app lacks features and updates. ![]() We use Harpoon to send estimates and invoices. Zoho BooksĪll the fancy new tools have failed us, we started using Zoho one day and never looked back. We use it to share legitimately paid fonts, and most importantly, store contracts. We mainly use GitHub for our website and collaborate with other developers. You can really see what’s coming next and who’s working on what. It’s a timeline based approach, more suitable for visual thinkers. We recently switched to Roadmap for project management. Can’t wait to get our hands on Pitch and give it a spin. We’re big fan of presentations, the best way to sell a design is to present it beautifully. The best tool for creating wireframes and flowcharts. Now, the market is crowded, but we stuck to it mostly because we forget to cancel the subscription every year… Whimsical - Paused and replacing it with Figma We started using Dropmark when there weren’t many choices around for board collecting. We’re all huge font nerds, and we use Fontstand to try out fonts for each new project. Before Drama, we have been using Origami, Flinto, and Principle for years. Although most of the time, we use Prototype in Figma. DramaĬurrently, Drama is our favorite tool for creating sophisticated interactions and animations. We do use AI occasionally for brand identity work. Now everything is in one place instead of all over the place. We used to have Sketch, Abstract, and Zeplin, but it was messy and expensive. We installed the Standuply bot in Slack to automate stand-up meetings and weekly reviews. We recently integrated WeChat Work to our deal pipeline and added it to our About page. We export CSVs from Timemator and upload them to Sheets then send along with invoices. My favorite feature is Templates, which saved me so much time. We can write emails together, and discuss emails without get stuck in reply-all hell. We also use Notion for expense tracking and social media publishing queue. We gave up the idea of using a centralized todo app a long time ago since we all have different preferences and paces. We use Notion as our document center and collaborative todo list, sometimes. Let’s just say we’re obsessed with making tutorial videos internally. Loom is not only a coincidence by name but also happens to be the most elegant solution for asynchronous communication. The best tool for online meetings, period. ![]() We also invite our clients to join Slack via Shared Channel if they happen to use Slack as well. It’s connected to Figma projects, Zoom meetings, Notion docs, GitHub web hooks, and a ton of Slack bots to make our job easier. The central hub of our daily communications since 2013. We made a dedicated page called Remote, check it out! □ Communication Slack Note that we’re continually experimenting with new tools and services, this list might change in time, but we’ll make sure to keep you posted. Here are some of our favorite tools that we will be using every day in 2020. As a remote team since day one, we use many tools to stay connected within the team and with clients.
