10 apps that will help you become productive with your projects
One of the biggest problems in project management is being able, at the same time, to handle team collaboration and deadlines, assign and follow tasks, and share notes and files in a way that everyone on the team can find them when it’s needed.
‘But worry you must not.’
Thankfully, many have faced these issues before, and created demand for the greatest project management tools to be developed.
We bring you here a list of our 10 favorites so far in 2022. We’ll cover apps in:
Task Management
Search Engine
Shared Notes
Cloud Storage

Task Management
Apps that will help you create and maintain the perfect workspace by monitoring every stage of the process
1. Asana
Manage your team’s work, projects, and tasks online
Asana is a very flexible tool for managing a remote team that works in different places and on different schedules.
You can organize multiple projects, add tasks on calendars, assign them to the team, set deadlines and expectations, and sort them by priority. All the while following the work that is being done and what needs more support. This way you can plan ahead your work routine and keep an eye on your goals.
Its simplicity delivers the essentials that you usually need, in a pretty interface, with no hustle.
Pricing 🪙
Asana has a basic free plan for individuals or small teams
Premium starts at €10.99 per user, per month with new features for project plans
Teams and companies working across initiatives can have it for €24.99 per user, per month on the Business plan
If your company needs additional security, control, and support, they also offer the Enterprise pack at custom pricing
2. Monday
An open platform where anyone can create the tools they need to run every aspect of their work
Monday is another great app for team management. It centralizes all your work, processes, tools, and files, making it effortless to track projects, customer information, and campaigns.
Among its features, you have unlimited storage, and you can easily build specific workflows with blocks for better administration. You can assign tasks and subtasks to one or more team members — and Monday will let you deal with them separately and rank them in order of importance.
Another excellent resource is the integration with other tools, such as Slack and Dropbox — this way you don’t need to duplicate what you have done elsewhere.
Pricing 🪙
Monday offers a free trial period to see if it’s a match and an Individual profile at no cost for up to 2 seats
The Basic plan goes for €8 per seat, per month, and already lets you manage all your teams’ work in one place
The Standard plan costs €10 per seat, per month and has features to collaborate and optimize your team processes
If you have complex workflows to run and streamline in your company, the Pro might be the best plan for you, at €16 per seat, per month
For organizations seeking tailored features and higher security and control, they have an Enterprise bundle as well
3. ClickUp
All of your work in one place: Tasks, Docs, Chat, Goals, and more
The last app for task management for you to try is ClickUp. With this tool, you can plan, track and manage any type of work while having all kinds of services in a user-friendly environment.
For instance, the app integrates a dashboard, whiteboard, chat, docs, tasks, and goals, and you can sync team calendars to make life easier. There is an automation system for sales processes, and you can get real-time reports on your project, which is great for remote teams. Communication between workers is also enhanced by chat, email, and shared editing.
Pricing 🪙
ClickUp has a free plan that already covers most of what you’d need for personal use
For small teams, they offer the Unlimited plan at just $5 per member, per month

Wrapping up
If we had good tools for project management before remote work became a thing, this has now definitely gone through the ceiling. This is amazing since every team works differently and each project has its own particular demands for collaboration.
Since you get to try for free many of the features listed here, it is worth taking some time to get to know better the tools and their resources. This will allow you and your team to make a more informed decision on the tools being used forwards — so that you can be more productive and get the most done.
And never underestimate the power of a strong search tool: frequently you already have what you need, but just can’t find it. Count on Curiosity for that!

They offer an Enterprise tailor-made plan for bigger organizations
Wrapping up
If we had good tools for project management before remote work became a thing, this has now definitely gone through the ceiling. This is amazing since every team works differently and each project has its own particular demands for collaboration.
Since you get to try for free many of the features listed here, it is worth taking some time to get to know better the tools and their resources. This will allow you and your team to make a more informed decision on the tools being used forwards — so that you can be more productive and get the most done.
And never underestimate the power of a strong search tool: frequently you already have what you need, but just can’t find it. Count on Curiosity for that!
