Built for distributed teams
Feel like a team, even from different rooms.
Remote and hybrid teams lose the small signals of a shared office: who just sat down, who is heads-down, who stepped away. desk.fm rebuilds that ambient context in one live board, wherever people are working from.
What a shared office gave you for free.
What has someone’s attention
A short status update replaces the visual cue of someone at their desk, heads-down.
A lighter way to reach someone
Send a quick ping instead of opening a chat thread for a thirty-second question.
Built for time zones, not just distance.
Distributed teams often span time zones as well as locations. desk.fm shows current availability in real time, so a teammate in another time zone can see at a glance whether someone is actually online right now, not just guess from a calendar.
Fewer status-check messages, more actual work.
“You around?” and “quick question, free?” are two of the most common remote-work messages. A live board answers both before they’re typed. Teammates keep their focus, and the people asking get their answer instantly.
Bring the team back into one room.
Create a shared board for your remote or hybrid team and try it free during beta.
