When we connected with Struck to discuss her must-have tool for any job, it was no surprise to learn that she relies on an app that—much like Struck herself—does it all. And, while she uses it for her work, its free version is great for household and personal management, too!

SS: It has saved us so much time being able to search through project tasks, know how much of a project is outstanding, and visualize our work.
How might someone not in your line of work benefit from this item?
SS: This platform is great for any field, not just interior design. It has so many lanes of functionality––like syncing your team calendars, messaging apps, and cloud storage––as well as types of views to best view your workload based on your industry or preferences. The free version is also great for personal use.
