Ask HN: Do you think switching between apps hurts your productivity?

Founder here currently building a product to address a problem I’ve seen repeatedly in modern teams.

We use Slack to talk. Notion to document. Jira or Asana to plan. But every time a decision is made in chat, someone has to manually copy, summarize, or “translate” it into another system. Context gets lost. Work slows down.

I'm starting to wonder: is it the tools themselves, or the gaps between them, that hurt our productivity the most? I’m not here to pitch anything, just trying to learn from your workflows.

"How do you and your team deal with this?" "Is switching between apps a real friction point for you?" "Have you found any habits or tools that reduce this friction?"

Would love to hear from you.
