This looks like the Holy Grail of task managers. As you mention, notes are often what generate tasks, and our calendar is a logical place to put some of our tasks. Thanks for your video!
Your explanation for the task scores is so helpful. I was really perplexed by it and almost thought not to continue with Amplenote - but wow, that is so clever! And the hiding tasks (postponing with specific times) is brilliant!
Yes, these 2 features can really be a game changer! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks. Love the straightforward explanation.
Thank You so very much for this. Will check it out today.
You are very welcome, Ben. I hope you enjoy it!
Thanks for sharing this app Scott! It is a free app if you create an account via your link to the website. I like the way the developers communicate! I look forward to sharing it with others too! And btw, I enjoyed the way you explained the differences in your video too!
Thank you for your feedback, Marko! Don't hesitate to share the app with others, and feel free to reach out if you have any questions in the future!
my only issue currently is repeating tasks aren't handled very well in calendar i want to plan ahead and thats kind of difficult currently
I had to rewatch -- I swear you said APPLE note and I was like... but I don't have a mac! LOL INTERESTING!!! Thanks for sharing this
You just made me LOL as well! Thanks for sharing (and rewatching), April.
O mesmo aconteceu comigo. Falo português e entendi Apple note. hahaha
That’s a great comparison. Wasn’t aware it existed but will have a look.
Have fun testing it out!
I don't know, man.. You get every feature of amplenote paying 2 dollars a month in ticktick, but you can't get a lot of features of ticktick in amplenote even paying
I have a bit of a hard time with the idea of having tasks and notes in one app. It's something I don't like in the newer Evernote either. But yes, it makes sense to have them together. Maybe it's more because of how the app implements it and how the workflow is. It seems like Amplenote has found a good (and better) way to implement this. I will definitely give it a try.... and thanks for the video ;)
You are most welcome. I've often had the same feeling (and have never liked including my tasks in Evernote). But as you mentioned, AmpleNote gives us a clean way of still keeping them separate when we want them to be.
Same, i don't like it either, i use Notion and they have reminders, but i'm not gonna try setting up a system for it. I'm going to use another app like ticktick with native tools that automatically do what i want instead of setting it up myself. Any suggestions? :)
This is a great review of this app and those problems are the very ones that cause so many issues for me. One of the bigger issues I have right now is that I work for a large medical organization that is constantly striving to maintain security within its system. This makes it impossible to install anything within the internal systems that I work within. Getting something like this installed properly to include my calendar would be impossible. Without that functionality, I am not sure it would be as effective. I wasn't quite sure if there was a web version or just the PC/Mac OS installs?
It has a web version too :)
Thanks so much for sharing your feedback and for asking this question. Yes, there is a Web version and that is actually what I used to demonstrate for this video.
There isn't a mac install avaialble that I can see on their site.
Once again, you have saved my bacon. I am going to give this a serious tryout. Many Thanks
Most welcome. All the best as you set this up!
I worked on it over the weekend and went live Monday morning. So far, so good. It took a bit more learning than other systems might, but it is worth the effort. It is visually unstructured, but the user can employ a good tags system and sorting to lean into the power of the software.
So glad that you're enjoying this so far!
Great!!!!
Very interesting. However I miss some features from Evernote :
1) Import folders : "hot folders" on Windows. Everything you drop there Evernote "swallows" and transform into a Note.
2) Search capabilities, mostly content inside PDFs. I use that quite a lot. Also search (OCR) inside images and handwritten text.
As for TickTick, it do seems very compatible and better on some features.
Thanks !
Thanks so much for sharing these features!
very nice video thanks
Thank you too!
I tried this app. It's full of infinite explaining texts, app for phone is very slow (seems a cask for web version). It's from someone that doesn't want to stop talking.
Better keep my simple tasks notes
well... you have to mention todoist and ticktick cons and what it has that amplenote does not have.. it lacks a lot i think in terms of design and in other factors
What difference free and version paid for amplenote..
You can see the differences here: www.amplenote.com/subscriptions/new
Wow is the sound out a lot for other viewers?
Amplenote it is!
Enjoy!
are there free alternatives to the app?
Amplenote has a free forever personal plan.
You look like the actor of IT 😅
I'll take that as a compliment (since he's half my age).
@@Simpletivity yes, he's a pretty guy too
No integration ith major calendar apps...l ambetter off with ticktick, with more features, for half the price.
I think you may be mistaken. AmpleNote has two way task sync with Google Calendar or Outlook.
@@Simpletivity Yes for some money. I have paid for it now to try it out for a month and i will see. So far I have noticed that scheduling tasks is way better than anywhere else (in other apps I have tried)
So glad that you're enjoying the app so far.
@@Simpletivity However, plugins are a mistery to me. I cannot use them and I don't know how to configure them. Plus I can reach 3 plugins in my notes through those 3 point on the right
@@SimpletivityI have been looking since 2016 for a basic note app for any kind of writing app that lets you plan out a project that's complex in the form of outlines and intermix tasks inside the outline, that sync both ways with Todoist. So I can plan a huge outline project with some writing app, and within that outline create various tasks to various projects or even to just one project within Todoist. When I complete a task in Todoist, it strikes out the task in the writing app. When I complete the task in the written outline app, it strikes out the task in the outline, and complete the task in Todoist. I can macro plan in the writing tool app, while seeing all of my tasks with reminders and scheduling Etc in the very slick and efficient todoist app. I have been begging to do is to make a simple text tool that used their to do with markup language that could simply make outlines to start with where you could inline tasks assigned to different projects either pre-created or created within the writing space. I think it would be an unbelievable addition to the native todoist software offering especially on desktop views. Do you know of anything like this?
sounds great for brain dumping.
Yes, it can be a great tool for mind sweeping and similar unloading activities!
This is a very nice paid ad.
He would be required by law to disclose if this was a paid ad. His job is to review & compare apps. The rest of his channel follows this format.
@gabriusvalenzuela7250 he disclosed it
Lol
Dude his channel reviews all kinds of productivity tools. Plus he already said it’s free.
No apple watch app 👎🏼
What task app do you currently use with your watch?
Free alternative during the free trial. Nice clickbait!
I'm afraid you're incorrect. Amplenote has a Free Forever plan with all the features mentioned here.
@@Simpletivity Thanks for your response. I was clearly wrong. Apologies for the inconvenience!
