What SaaS has the best + minimal UI you've seen?

I'm curious who's got a really great UI for a SaaS that doesn't have 100s of features. Ex: overcast.fm does a great job, but who else is there?

    https://www.notion.so/ is about as minimal as I've seen. Really loving their UI.

    I've always liked TJ Holowaychuk's Ping. It's an uptime monitoring tool. It has a free trial if you want to explore the app's UI.

    A lot of Zeit's stuff is pretty. They make cloud computing tools.

    I made everpage.io very minimal (pictures here). It's a landing page builder, and you don't need to sign up to try it out.

    And anything by Dustin Curtis is beautiful – Svbtle, Conquer Earth, and Magic Signup.

    The interactions aren't always the best, but purely in terms of UI, https://www.combin.com/ has the nicest design I've seen from any of the Instagram Bots

    https://chartmogul.com/ has a clear and simple UI.

    One more vote for https://www.notion.so/, I use it for both personal and business stuff.

    I'm also going to 'shamelessly' cast a vote for https://www.cozycal.com/ here. In a crowded scheduling SaaS space, we try to stand out with our minimal design and make it as easy as possible to navigate for non-tech savvy users.

      Just been checking out the pages linked on this page and I wanted to say that cozycal is a beautifully designed landing page, nicely done!

    It's not 100% minimal, but I've been of fan of the pared-back UI for Bear Writer. Switched from Evernote's bloated feature set to a Bear and haven't looked back.

      Their actual app is pretty bare/bear (get it?! GET IT?!).

        Yeah weird non-www redirect error. It's working here https://www.prisma.io/

    I've always like Google and SalesForce services. They provide clean, minimal, and fast working software.

    Not a SaaS, just a bash replacement with nice aestetics and minimalism: https://hyper.is

    ha, I read your interview the other day and mentally noted how much I liked the minimal aesthetic of wpcomplete.co
