Details
Superhuman Docs, called Coda until 8 July 2026, is documents with superpowers: think Notion but more programmable. Founded by Shishir Mehrotra (ex-YouTube VP) and Alex DeNeui. Used by Uber, Figma, Square, NYT. Better than Notion for complex workflows; worse for simple note-taking.
It is now part of Superhuman’s suite alongside Superhuman Mail, Grammarly and Go. Existing Coda docs moved over automatically, and prices did not change with the new name. The free plan includes collaborative docs, connected tables, forms and automations with a low quota. Pro costs $12 per Doc Maker per month billed annually ($15 monthly), and Business costs $33 ($40 monthly).
Loom lets you record quick screen + face videos instead of scheduling meetings. Insanely useful for async teams. Started bootstrapped on maxed credit cards, grew to 10M+ users, sold to Atlassian for $975M in 2023. The free tier is still generous enough for most solo use. Business costs $18 per user per month and removes the video and length limits, and Business + AI costs $24 with AI editing; paying annually saves up to 17%.
