This was super fun! Thanks for having me on. P.S. The full version of this conversation was 4 hours, so thank you editing team
looking forward to your Tana channel!
Guys please don't think you're being productive by watching "Productivity Apps 2024, How to be extremely productive" sort of videos. They're very fun to watch and also feel like you are being "productive". It took me an absurd amount of time to get out of this, now I finally realise how stupid I was. Now I consciously choose what I do or see, it is extremely hard to get to this state but you will definitely get there. Make sure you frame reading productivity books, watching productivity videos on UA-cam as breaks / self-care / relaxation...basically anything but the actual work you have to get done. Hope this helps someone
Yes! Information and apps alone are nothing without action!
That said, a good app can upgrade your character's stats and help you tackle difficult quests and bosses, so hopefully this helps someone tackle a new challenge ❤️
Yes the only thing these youtubers are productive at is making videos about productivity and how much that translates to making a living or achieving life goals is very very subjective LMAO.
You're absolutely right about that but I **LOVE** to see what other people do with their apps and this rating was totally fun!
But thanks for the reminder - I'll set my Productivity Challenge Timer (an aggressive pomodoro timer which keeps insulting me to kick me to do my work - works great for me) and get back to my tax declaration instead of continuing to watch this video!
Guys, there is something poor here. You are ranking apps that you haven't touched in decade. If you are not willing to try maybe you shouldn't mention it, but even more rank it
Edge in D tier!!
when its faster than chrome and runs on the same engine and
can use all the chrome extensions is wild
it remind internet explorer and IE is trash, so maybe this reason?
Edge feature to organize your tabs in named groups is so good. Also in bad computers It still boots up super fast.
@@elisabetemeneses2460 say it for the people in the back 👏🏾🔥
yup alot of people are sleeping on edge
Firefox in D tier, WTH??!!
Apparently we got this one wrong. You a fan?
@@CajunKoiAcademy how could you miss Firefox developer edition?????????
Yeah, we really got it bad! Firefox is absolute king 🔥🔥
So much support for the fox here.
You both say you didn't use Firefox (for a decade). You don't know Firefox. But you give a D? Very professional test.
@@bernhardsms6860 😭 bro firefox is the most underrated browser !! and as a user this is best for me !!
I've tried so many things and found the more features the farther you get from your work. I gave Notion a solid shot for a long time, and I'm glad it's improved quite a bit. Overall though, everything ultimately just feels like a worse version of a notebook. Every new option for organizing and grouping is just a way to allow you to engage with the product more and pretend you're being productive when you're actually just wasting even more time. I see people with these giant webs and complex tagging systems and wonder how the hell they could ever lose anything if they spend so much time playing with them. They could probably find that one email they added 19 tags to in their sleep. It's like spending a week tackling a messy desk and ending up with even less space because you prioritized buying binders and trays instead of throwing things away.
I genuinely see your point and probably agree. The less you do, the better it is and it's for any app out there because ultimately you are the user.
In the end, user ease matter as much as all the features that make it up!
nothing beats good old pen and paper
I pushed really hard for the S-Tier 😢
Doesn't sync to cloud 😔
scan it and upload it to your google drive@@CajunKoiAcademy
We appreciate how well you've articulated your insights. You'll always have our support.
Not tried / used = It's sh*t
What about creating a new tier called "Haven't tried"?
Love your vids
I know these kinds of lists are pretty subjective, but I don't think this list is really reliable, since I feel like you don't really have enough experience with each app to really do them justice. Firefox is a shining example, but also a lot of apps in B and some in C, which you only name a (few) characteristic(s) about.
Sounds like we did Firefox dirty
Definitely subjective, hopefully valuable. Grain of salt 🧂
@@CajunKoiAcademy In terms of CPU usage, data privacy, and extensions, Firefox is S tier!
@@josephm2817I absolutely agree with you. I have heard how firefox is the powerhouse of data privacy. the extensions and giving power to the people.
100% with you there.
Thank you! Can you also make a video on how to plan out the next year during summer vacation? My finals will be over tomorrow and vacation will start.
I also want one 🖐️ how to improve and be the better version of yourself in vacation would be a great move.😌😇
Thank you, this is very helpful for choosing my go to app for my course
So great to hear! Which are you going with?
Great to see Marc.
Amazing video. ❤thanks brother❤
Good video!!
very helpful video, it was impossible to me even know about existence of some of this apps
I use WorkTime productivity software. I particularly love the variety of insightful reports it provides, helping me stay accountable and make data-driven decisions to optimize my workflow.
It would be nice to add to the notes what is at each level in words instead of just icons
Usefull vid
The only apps i use from this list are: UA-cam, UA-cam Music, Notion, ToDoIst, Gmail, Google Calendar, Discord, Canva, Photoshop, Davinci Resolve, Google Chrome. dont know if i should change anything tho cause i like that all this apps can work together with eachother
What's the most S-tier app you use out of that list?
I really like youtube because you can have fun, learn, etc@@CajunKoiAcademy
this video made me sub :) i am gonna check out the channel to see if there are any more tier list videos like this one, because this was awesome!!!
tbh Microsoft Edge is a solid browser and it's working smoothly on the windows computers and laptops and the best thing about that it doesn't eat your ram up like google chrome does all the time if it was for me i would give it a solid B tier for now but i am using Arc beta for windows till now and it's great for me.
I am a first-year Bolivian medical student studying at a private university, I dream of going to do my specialty in another country but I have had problems when taking notes since many of the methods I see on UA-cam are oriented to use from an iPad, (which I don't have) I only have a laptop and my notebooks, so I would like you to recommend a way to study efficiently with only this equipment
Pen and Paper + one of the apps from the Knowledge Section (Notion, Tana, etc.) should work great for you
Google Docs is a good fallback
@@CajunKoiAcademy thanks vey much
Give RemNote a try, maybe it's better in some aspects, whether or not you will eventually return to Notion.
what are your apps and websites, btw, i love your videos
can you reply to my question also
The whole video is about this... :)
why didn't you mention anytype? imo it's one of the best solutions if you don't want to set up loads of plugins just like in obsidian, but also care about your privacy, which notion isn't capable of
Me procrastinating school work, to watch a video about productivity.
Awesome vid, I was in the chat of the CKA discord community
PS: I'm one of the mod
5:42 May I ask what made you quit Remnote as a founder? Did you stop using the app yourself?
Evernote since bending spoons took over is one to watch. Lots of changes which is brining it into the modern world of productivity apps. While I don't think it's there yet i think its going to have pretty big comeback (given there is more they do for the free tier to attract users).
lol, Firefox in D tier, whats the point of grading if you not used the software? fake list just to put some icons in
Fair! Are you a fan?
@@CajunKoiAcademyi'm a fan also still thinking why an D its the only non chrromium based browser except safari
Why not try it and make a video
also Try firefox focus on mobile too
We'll check it out, good points!!
exactly even edge has the best pdf viewer of all of the browsers
“Firefox, haven’t used it, D tier”
The open web is dead boys.
why is microsoft edge on D tier?? it has work spaces which make it more productive. As a backend programmer, i can confirm that it gotta be on a higher tier
Putting Firefox on D tier and missing out Ticktick on task managed tastes really bad in my mouth.
All these apps are just an illusion of productivity.
I'm not a hater, I really loved their content when they used to make content on study and focus.Ngl These apps are overhyped.
thank you
Imagine putting youtube/music into the s tier for productivity, imaaagine
Cant you guys link the apps?
Email marketing/newsletters would be great next time!
i only use one note but in my laptop, and i want a video about how aproach this app in the med shool
i liked my own comment
me too
so did i
stone cold
@@pratyush_stingHow are you so desperate for likes?
Ok?
How about usege limit apps? I miss these
Apple notes is B if you're 100% in the Apple ecysystem, otherwise C/D if you only have 1 Apple device.
Luckily one of the first ones. Let's goooo.
Jira is amazing for software dev when using scrum/agile.
so among 80+ apps you guys only included 2 free open-source software? and then you say it's a definitive list? be serious.
Make a video about how to invest
Marc knows what’s up
Agreed
Chrome in A and Firefox in D 🙄, Guys if both of you dont know anything about Firefox, rather than giving it a D, dont even mention it. Firefox is one of the best open source Web browser..
Wow, you threw shade on Remnote after founding it.
Bro Matty is looking as handsome as me today 👀😂❤️
☺️
😂I don't know but I just feel like sharing this. I made it to university and I just wanna thank Mike & Matty for carrying me through high school ❤🔥
Wake Up Lad!
For me normal opera is at least in top 3 of all browsers out there. So much functionality.
good video
loved ur tier list and ur vid it was fun and helpful..
i was wondering can you make a detailed video on monk mode i really wanna know about this so it would be great if you make a video.. just a suggestion
UA-cam is productive app for me because you're here 😇
❤️❤️
I really dig Joplin as a note-taking software. Being using a lot for meetings
How is it different from note-taking software, you think? Which feature stuck out to you?
@@CajunKoiAcademy For me, simplicity, markdown and add-ons. You don't need more for productivity!
While I love the "let's make a tier list of everything we use" idea, glancing over everything Microsoft apart from Edge makes some of the lists simply incomplete. And I'm not saying that I would necessarily prefer any of the Microsoft apps over others.
Understandable and we had mentioned that we simply can't cover every app there is out there so we went through what we know/use/have seen
Firefox is a really good browser
"I dont know, therefore D" is a really questionable standard.
6:20 tana ce a vrut rom Resort devine și ne a mai devenit seamănă cu notion pentru ca are multi view
8:04 reflect easier notion like
Project Management = Coda. By far better than Notion, if you want to build your system. Easy to use, more powerful and beautiful than any other PM option presented.
Google calendar a C ???? WTH. Its easy S++ for me. It pulls data from Gmail automatically. Flight times, bus ride, etc. It works seamlessly with the Google ecosystems, I understand usa people are apple guys. But it is the simple and reliable. Doesn't get any better that google calendar.
Apple Music has an AI feature, that can transform (almost) every song into a karaoke version 😉
D für Roam is ridiculous. Asana below Monday and Notion for Project management? Don't take thzese guys serious,
This video is part of the Tana marketing campaign ...
This was a good video but milanote is what I preferer as a note taking king.
Milanote is great, B or A tier. We forgot to include it!
my name is shree hari
Raycast has single handed made me use my make 2-5x faster
And how about Spark for an emails?
Are you concerned about security with Google???
I know it's cool to hate on Microsoft products but they are ubiquitous. Why not include 365 apps?
Good question; we included OneNote but 365 suite is almost so universal as to be a utility more than an app decision. Similar to how we didn't throw in Google Docs, Google Sheets, etc.
What apps would you recommend from the suite? Bonus points if you give them tier list scores 📝
Silly, bad video. Apps haphazardly placed in categories even though they don't know much about those apps. Videos like this harm the credibility of the reviewers.
Thanks Gerawan - which ones deserve a better rank in your opinion?
I think ALL those apps "deserve" a better evaluation and review before they're haphazardly categorized like that. @@CajunKoiAcademy
:)
True these guys are very lazy in this review.
Why does apple calendar just allow 2 reminders, absolute trash.
You made Evernote D tier... but apple notes is A?
Are you fucking joking?
of course this is a joke.
I agree with this. I would not recommend Evernote to anyone, but AppleNotes will be great for most people in the ecosystem.
firefox in d tier, yeah bro, okay
No OBS app and strong Apple bias... nah....
Why isn't UA-cam promoting your videos
We got the best rookies! Thanks for the amazing support!
App expert and youtube creative director with 5k subs. Man this is cringe
Todoist B tier 🤣 This is BS
Very good job ! BUT I totally disagree with your music app ranking… How much music streaming apps pay artist ? Spotify is awful at that, one of the worst. They don't respect artists and musicians and everything is set up by a stupid algorithm…
Why do you even bother to rate applications you don't/haven't used in ages?! Firefox doesn't deserve to be with Edge....
The thumbnail is cursed
Logseq S tier for me
Notion is so slow for me right now, too much effort and too easy to screw up.
I agree there is a huge learning curve and sometimes it gets glitchy but the returns are huge.
ehhh no email?
Case for Apple Music;
One really cool feature I like is that you can follow people you know and listen to each others playlists and even collaborate on playlists. My friends and brother have similar tastes so it’s cool to see if they found some new songs in the same genre or whatever
Am I wrong but can't you also do this on spotify?
Stopped watching when you rated Firefox D tier...And Edge too? LOL
Come on! Resolve deserves better. Not B.
oh no! no upnote😢
hi
Firefox must be s ss sss
The Browser section is pure trash, please educate yourself and change that shit tierlist for browsers.
How ticktick isn't theeeere hahahah
TickTick?
me
mention me pls in nxt video
What's your most notable attribute?
I am super cool and another quality is 'I am more creative than others'@@CajunKoiAcademy
I USED TO BE UNIQUE FROM OTHERS
📝👀 You have my attention.
THANKS @@CajunKoiAcademy

spotify s tier is fucking nonsense
lol wow
