About Remote Work Tools

I have been working remotely since before it was mainstream, and I have tried just about every tool, workflow, and home office setup along the way. Remote Work Tools exists to share what actually works – and what does not – so you can skip the trial-and-error phase.

Every review and guide on this site comes from real usage in distributed teams. When I recommend an async standup format or a specific project management tool, it is because I have used it with a real team and seen the results.

What we cover

• Team communication – Slack, Discord, Zulip, and async messaging strategies
• Video conferencing – Zoom, hybrid meeting setups, and screen sharing tips
• Project management – Asana, Linear, Trello, ClickUp, and workflow comparisons
• Async collaboration – RFC processes, recorded walkthroughs, standup alternatives
• Home office setup – desks, monitors, ergonomics, and equipment recommendations
• Remote hiring and onboarding – ATS tools, async interviews, and onboarding checklists
• Security – VPNs, zero trust, and compliance for distributed teams

Who this is for

Engineering teams, managers, and individual contributors who work remotely and want to be more effective at it. Whether you are setting up your first home office or redesigning workflows for a 50-person distributed team, there is something here for you.
