To round out our work-optimized list of computer, phone, printing, and audio gear, we looked for the best software and apps that help remote workers get organized and connected. That’s why a team of three experienced remote workers spent more than 150 hours researching and testing new gear and apps, picking the most office-friendly items from Wirecutter’s guides to find a selection of tools that we’re sure will earn a place in your workspace. In the space you make your living, you need reliable, comfortable, efficient tools-though it doesn’t hurt if they look nice, too. You don’t need the thinnest, lightest, or most elegantly designed items for your home office.
