Slack's Favorite Apps and Sites

The team that helps work happen shares a few of their favorite mobile apps and sites.

For the past eight months, Slack has been a nine-to-fiver's saving grace. In the midst of remote work, it's kept their productivity going and memes in the team Slack channel flowing. It's a go-to app.

But, what apps does a team that makes work happen find essential? We asked our partners at Slack to share what apps and sites they use to maximize their workflow and routines, stay informed, and stay entertained! See a few picks below, and the rest in our feature.

River

Jennifer Tan, @jenniferntan
Design Lead
Favorite App/Service: River

Between the elections, pandemic, and my new found interest in all things home, I’m consuming more news now than ever. The River app makes news bite-sized and easily consumable in a slick, dark-mode friendly format. I love being able to switch between stories I follow, trending news, or searching for new topics I’m curious about without having to leave the app.

Notion

Rodney Manabat, @rdnymnbt
Designer
Favorite App/Service: Notion

Staying productive and organized isn’t the most exciting thing, but it’s something I’m always trying to improve. The flexibility of Notion as a productivity app actually makes it kind of fun. .

Dropbox Paper

Andrea Drugay, @andandreadrugay
Group Copy Manager
Favorite App/Service: Dropbox Paper

I like using Dropbox Paper to write, because it offers a lot of creative flexibility: no page boundaries mean I can write long or wide without hesitation, tables and colors let me create mini-spreadsheets, and it’s so easy to drop in media files anywhere on a page.

Fabulous

Maria Gonzalez, @theonlymaria
Design Lead
Favorite App/Service: Fabulous

Fabulous has really helped me establish and keep a daily morning and evening routine, especially now that we are at home most of the time. It feels really good to check off daily tasks and be rewarded for taking 3 minutes to stand up or meditate.

Stickies

Stuart Lovinggood, @sturtlovinggood
Copywriter
Favorite App/Service: Stickies

One of my first desk jobs was as a chat agent for a popular manufacturer of computers and electronics, and Stickies on Mac were the quickest way to save all the canned responses for customers. I still find the humble tool incredibly useful, not only for jotting down ideas during meetings, but also visually organizing work on my desktop.

Spotify

Christina Campbell,
Creative Operations Manager
Favorite App/Service: Spotify

Spotify gives me the best personalized playlists. I get to relive some classics and discover new artists so my music knowledge is constantly expanding.

Google Keep

Michael Belen,
Designer
Favorite App/Service: Google Keep

Simple scratchpad to help keep me organized and somewhat on-track at the grocery store
