Automator is a plugin created by Jordan Singer that allows anyone to create automations, such as swapping between light and dark color styles or generating a style guide for a design system, all through an intuitive no-code interface.
One recent addition to my workflow in Figma has been using sign to help me speed up all of those previously tedious and repetitive tasks.
I’m forever thankful for how it’s allowed me to grow in my career as a product designer and for the community, who all truly make this piece of software feel so special. If you’ve followed me for any amount of time now, this one probably shouldn’t be much of a surprise! Figma is my design tool of choice, and I’m not sure there’s another tool out there that’s changed my life as much as this one has. Things 3 was largely built upon this idea, and because it supports Mac, iPad, and iPhone and has great support for Siri and Shortcuts, I always feel like I can quickly note down anything and get back to it when I need to. Ever since reading David Allen’s Getting Things Done, I’ve tried to find the fastest way I can to get all of those tasks floating around in my head into a space where I can save, organize, and complete later, all to help make more room for the present moment. I’ve been using Things 3 for nearly four years now to help me track all of my reminders and todos, and I now feel like my life would be a mess without this app. It’s a surprisingly simple yet powerful and well-designed app that can scale with how much you’d like to put into it and take from it. If you’ve ever searched for productivity tools of any kind, there’s a good chance that you may have come across this one.
