Have you ever heard of Slack? ????

Of course you have. Everyone has.

That’s why Slack isn’t on this list.

This list is curated to be the most valuable productivity tools you probably haven’t heard of.

I think you’ll get a kick out of it, leave a comment and let us know which ones are your favorite.

It’s Slack without the annoying notifications

Twist is a communication tool designed to help users work in a calmer, more organized and more productive way than tools like Slack.

It’s biggest differentiator against something like Slack is that it’s based on asynchronous communication.

With an interface that feels more like a message board, Twist has channels, which then contain threaded conversations underneath.

The threads encourage in-depth conversations versus one-line interactions, and every response in a thread can be set to notify the entire group, or only certain people.

All notifications are centralized, and appear in the Inbox, located in the top left.

Track time to the tee

Hubstaff is a simple application that your freelancers or contractor install on their machines to track time, activity levels, and take screenshots.

Workers can select a project, and Hubstaff will then track time and activity to that specific project, which becomes viewable in the web application.

When a user is running Hubstaff, randomized screenshots will be taken about every 10 minutes.

It’s perfect for virtual assistants or onboarding periods.

The workspace for your life

Notion is a project management tool for teams or individuals looking to create their own workspace to get things done.
