Designers spend most of their tool budget on design software — Figma, Adobe CC, Sketch — which is appropriate. But the surrounding workflow is underserved. Project briefs live in email. Feedback comes in Slack. Files are shared via Google Drive links. Presentations happen over Zoom. Each of those tools is a subscription, a login, and a context switch. Lodos for Designers handles everything outside the design tool itself.
The Designer Tool Gap
Design work is inherently iterative and collaborative — brief, concept, feedback, revision, approval, handoff. Every stage involves different people and different tools. Briefs get lost in Notion. Feedback gets buried in Slack threads. Approved files end up in three different Google Drive folders with inconsistent naming. The design itself is often excellent; the surrounding process is chaotic.
Responsive Design Testing
One of the most time-consuming parts of web design is cross-device testing. Lodos Simulator Panel lets designers preview any website across phones, tablets, and desktops simultaneously — with real DevTools alongside each view. No physical devices needed. No subscription to a device testing service. Capture screenshots of each viewport with one click and save directly to Lodrive for client review.
Project and Feedback Management
Task Management with Kanban boards organizes design projects from brief to delivery. Create tasks for each deliverable — wireframes, mockups, final assets — with clear assignees and deadlines. When feedback comes in, it creates a new task rather than getting lost in a chat thread.
Notebook stores creative briefs, brand guidelines, and design system documentation in shared notebooks that the whole team can access and update.
File Storage and Asset Management
Lodrive provides organized cloud storage for design assets, working files, and final deliverables. Folder structure per client or project, with file preview for images and PDFs. Share approved deliverables with clients via a direct link — no more "Google Drive says you need to request access."
Diagramming and Wireframing
Flowchart Studio handles quick wireframes, user flow diagrams, and process maps without a separate diagramming tool. Export as PNG or SVG. Embed in Notebook pages for living documentation that updates as the product evolves.
Client Meetings and Presentation
MeMeet handles design review calls with screen sharing for presenting mockups and prototypes. Notes from the call sync automatically to Notebook, and action items become tasks — so feedback from a presentation immediately enters the revision workflow.
What Lodos Doesn't Replace
Lodos is not a design tool — it doesn't replace Figma, Adobe, or Sketch. It replaces everything around the design tool: the project management, communication, file storage, device testing, and documentation that surrounds every design project. Used together, they form a complete design workflow without the subscription sprawl.
