About Reframe
In a world inundated with apps, tabs and tools, Reframe brings everything together into a single, Organized Work Environment on your computer.
Let’s be honest: tech has a problem
Computers (and software) have evolved into powerful tools that have revolutionized how we work. Everyday, we hear of a new app or operating system boasting claims of enhanced work efficiency or collaboration.
But we are drowning in an ocean of tabs and tools making us feel burnt out, unhappy and unproductive.
We struggle to find what we need; constantly switching between windows, searching for the path of least resistance just to complete a single task — it feels like we are swimming against the current.
But AI will save us… right?
Even our brilliant AI co-pilots are problematic: AI is astoundingly capable, but the process of prompting and coordinating these tools across fragmented workplace apps is its own special new form of busywork hell.
Copy, paste, search, re-prompt - an endless muddle of routine cognitive labor just to get AI on the same page as our work.
There must be a better way.
We’re looking far beyond the traditional notion of productivity and the incremental gains achieved by simply creating another app or AI co-pilot that optimizes part of your workflow.
Instead, we’re building the next generation of computing, a new concept called the Organized Work Environment.

What we’re building
Reframe isn’t just another app, operating system or piece of software. It is changing the paradigm of how we work with computers and each other.
Reframe is something new. It’s the first iteration of an ‘Organized Work Environment’ which adapts the computer to you, not you to the computer. It removes the stress of constant context-switching and app shuffling by bringing everything you need - all the apps, files, chats - into coherent Streams of work.
No more copy’n’paste.
No more app switching.
No more ‘where was I?’.
Reframe stops the computer getting in the way of your thinking, giving you total control of your tasks, workflow and collaboration.
Our Story
Jeff Szczepanski (a.k.a Tall Jeff) founded Reframe Technologies in the summer of 2021, with a vision to build a next-generation computing environment based on brain science that would free us from the current chaos of app overwhelm and tabbing hell.
He drew on his experience as a founder, CTO and COO at some of the world’s most successful startups and scaleups; and inspiration from the field of Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) and the works of theorist and scientist Prof. Cal Newport as he formalized his ideas for a new way of working with computers.
In 2022, Jeff hired the first employees to begin the journey of building Reframe, and as of early 2024, Reframe has a team of 12 people (including several Stack Overflow alumni), including counsel and coaching from personal and organizational development experts such as Shir Nir and “Mr Joe” Leech, and is working to bring the world’s first Organized Work Environment to market.
