Energize your remote work culture with these 5 apps for Slack

Track your time, check on others and jam together with the same soundtrack

Vom Slack-Team9. Juni 2020

If you’re new to remote work, you might be nostalgic about the little things that helped you feel connected while at the office: water cooler talks, your deskmate’s music choices, even seeing who’s on snack break. In the midst of getting used to working remotely, our developer community has come up with solutions to bridge the gaps with some fun apps to help you feel close to your coworkers, no matter their distance.

Schedule a spontaneous meetup in Slack

When you’re missing the coffee meetups and hallway chats of office life, grab time with Snack. The app matches two random people in a Slack channel for a short, timed video call. Matching is based on your activity on Slack, your time zone and your interests, and it helps kick things off with a series of icebreakers to discuss.

Use Snack to:
  • Match people for impromptu, video conversations with icebreakers
  • Conduct meetings with time limits, which help reduce anxiety for people who want spontaneous conversation

Curate daily virtual art shows with ArtLens

Sync your whole team’s music with Resonatr

Resonatr solves an interesting problem: How do you share and synchronize music across your entire team, no matter where they’re working? With Resonatr, you set aside a channel for people to post requests or add songs to a playlist, and in turn it creates a station everyone can listen to together and work to the same beat.

  • Create a Slack channel that maps to a Spotify playlist
  • Add new tracks based on the audience’s top tracks and requests
  • Synchronize playback for anyone who joins

Polly is an old favorite and at its core is a great way to poll everyone for their opinions or track satisfaction through surveys. But recent updates—from trivia to team recognition features—have added a slew of ways to spark social connections in your team.

App-Symbol
Installieren
Use Polly to:
  • Run an interactive trivia game: ’90s movies? Cooking? Music from the ’80s? Geometry? There are thousands of questions across dozens of categories
  • Gather hot takes from everyone with a random prompt for a much-needed break from work
  • Turn recognition into a team experience with a quirky, fun employee awards event
