Free Online Tools for Remote Workers
Working remotely means a lot of small friction: working out whether a meeting slot is reasonable for someone five time zones away, sending an invoice, signing a PDF, keeping notes somewhere that is not another subscription. These tools cover that day-to-day work in a browser tab, with no accounts and nothing uploaded — which matters when the documents involved are contracts and the notes are client work.
