Tor Project shares tools it uses for remote working

‘The bulk of its online conversations happen in open channels on IRC, like #tor-project, #tor-dev, and #tor-www among others’, Stephanie Ann Whited explains. You don’t need to share an email address or personal identifying information to register or use IRC. 

For agendas, taking notes, and drafting blog posts they use Riseup pads. 

Riseup pads don’t save indefinitely, so this isn’t for storage. For collaborative docs, calendars, and file storage Tor uses Nextcloud, a secure alternative to G Suite

For filesharing Tor advises OnionShare, that allows you to securely and anonymously share a file of any size without any third parties. Its latest version also allows you to spin up an onion site only accessible over the Tor network.

For searches, logging into accounts, or collaborating, Tor Browser (in combination with its default search engine DuckDuckGo) protects you from trackers on websites, surveillance from your ISP or anyone monitoring your network, and from censorship enacted by your ISP or government

For 1:1 messaging, calls, and small group chats, Tor uses Signal, the open source messaging app. For voice and video meetings, Tor recommends Jitsi Meet. This may be a good alternative for Zoom, which has come under scrutiny for its lack of transparency.
