Pile

Pile is a clever little, Electron-based application that proposes a straightforward way of unifying your workflow. To be more precise, Pile provides you with a very user-friendly environment from where you can access some your most used apps, folders, and files, as well as store notes and organize to-dos.

It should not take much more than a quick run-through to figure out that Pile succeeds where so many project-orientated apps of this sort fail, and it does so mainly thanks to its sheer simplicity.

You get a clear-cut, tab-based GUI which allows you to add and access any number of boards based on various projects you might be working on. Each board can, in turn, contain any number of Hubs which come in three, self-explanatory variants: App/File, Notes, and Todo.

Of course, you can rename the hubs in order to suit your particular projects or the job at hand, organize and change their order, as well access them directly from your computer's desktop via simple shortcuts.

Also noteworthy is the fact that the application comes with support for drag and drop which makes it highly convenient for you to add apps to Pile's launch bar. The Notes section also deserves a few words since it detects any online resource and automatically outputs it as a web link. The fact that it comes with support for Markdown and emoji might also be good news for some users.

Taking everything into account, Pile is definitely not your typical project manager. However, it is without a doubt a very interesting and useful application that sports the potential to improve your workflow by bringing your apps, task lists, and notes together under a single roof.
