That's great to hear! I was worried about accountability for remote teams, but this sounds like it would help with that. What about integration with existing tools?

Seamless integration with most common tools, including Slack, Trello, and Google Suite. And their support team has been very responsive and helpful in getting set up.

I'm new to managing remote teams. Any tips on how to ensure everyone stays engaged and productive while working from home?

Clear communication is key. Regular check-ins and expectations for availability can help maintain accountability. Also encourage your team to establish a dedicated workspace at home.

HomeLabs has a built-in time tracking feature, but there are also third-party tools such as Toggl that you could use.
