Keep your remote team aligned without adding another meeting
A remote team check-in tool should respect time zones. Sunbrief asks each person privately on WhatsApp in their morning, reminds once if needed, and gives managers one structured summary with blockers first.
Remote coordination pain
- Standup calls across time zones tax focus for someone every day.
- Chat threads bury blockers under side conversations.
- Managers chase updates instead of unblocking work.
- Written status docs go stale by Wednesday.
- New tools mean yet another login for people who already live in WhatsApp.
How Sunbrief works for distributed teams
- Invite members by WhatsApp number; nothing starts until they reply JOIN.
- Each person gets a private check-in on working days in the team timezone.
- Answers become plans, progress and blockers; managers get a daily summary and weekly report.
What managers can see today
- Dashboard views for Today, Team, Reports and Settings.
- Who has not replied yet after reminders.
- Weekly reports generated from real answers (PDF / share link where enabled).

Frequently asked questions

- Is this employee surveillance?
- No. It is a consent-based check-in people opt into with JOIN and can leave with STOP. Position it as shared accountability, not monitoring.
