What’s your approach to managing work when everything is spread across tools?
We built an internal tool to solve a problem we kept running into as a team — too many tools, too much context switching, and work getting fragmented.
It started as a simple internal fix, not a product.
Now it’s at a stage where we’d like a few thoughtful teams to try it and tell us what actually works and what doesn’t.
We’re not selling anything and not launching publicly yet — just looking for honest feedback from people who deal with this kind of chaos daily.
If that sounds relevant to you, happy to connect privately.

When work is spread across tools, I’ve found the real issue isn’t fragmentation — it’s losing the thread of intent.
What helps me most is having one lightweight place that answers three questions at any moment:
As long as those survive interruptions, the underlying tools matter a lot less. When they don’t, everything feels chaotic no matter how “organized” the stack looks.
Curious — for others here: what’s the one habit or signal that tells you your system is working (e.g., faster re-entry after breaks, fewer status pings, clearer priorities)?
The fragmentation problem is real. We've tried aggregator dashboards, but they often just become another layer of abstraction rather than solving the root issue.
A few questions that might help frame the feedback you're after:
The teams that struggle most with tool sprawl are usually the ones where each person picked their own favorite tool organically. Curious if your solution works better with chaotic stacks or more standardized ones.
