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.

This is such a common struggle — once your work spans notes, chat, tickets, docs, and tasks, the real cost isn’t just the number of tools, it’s the context switching overhead between them.
One approach that’s helped teams I’ve seen is to create one “source of truth” anchor for whatever active sprint/goal you’re working on — for example:
• A Notion page or GitHub project board that links to active docs, designs, tickets, and decisions
• Daily agenda items pulled into a central task list
• A single “context snapshot” before switching tools (one sentence + link)
That way, instead of opening 5 tools and guessing where you left off, you open one place that has the context you need.
Curious — when work is spread across tools for you, is the biggest friction remembering task state, re-finding context, or re-evaluating priority? Understanding that usually shapes how you solve it.
This is exactly the tradeoff we’re chasing. “One source of truth” works… until it becomes another place you have to manually maintain.
What we’re building OMNEX to do is act like the default re-entry screen: when you come back mid-stream, you should be able to answer “what was I doing + why + what’s next” without reopening Slack/Jira/Docs and reconstructing the story.
For early testing, the strongest signal we’re prioritizing is:
time-to-first-meaningful-action after an interruption (not just “did they open the app”). Then we’ll layer in things like: fewer repeat context lookups + fewer tool hops before they resume.
If you’re curious to try it and tell me where it fails, the early access form is on omnex.tech (you’ll get the app link by email).
That’s a really clean north-star metric — time to first meaningful action captures the real cost of interruption better than most engagement stats.
Curious to see how it holds up once more teams with heavier tool stacks try it.
