I’m glad seeing a video showing love to Bear. I love that app and been using it since like 2017. The tag system is definitely not for everyone and its not as feature heavy as others, but its the best digital writing experience I’ve found (and I’ve tried plenty)

[bradenboyce]

My girlfriend turned me onto an organizer app called structured it’s pretty helpful for me I have ADHD pretty bad so I have to constantly write things down to remember and have things pop up to remind me there’s a paid part that gives u more customization and I also use Apple notes I haven’t utilized apple notes fully yet but I want to I also use reminders but not as much as the other two so thank u for showing more options to try I will keep them in mind & thank u 😎🤙🏻🍎

Developers of Things are just awesome!

[jeffhale]

Thanks for sharing. Blessings on your day!

[KrishnaMamunuru]

I wanted to know if you use Read later, if you do which one and which one would you suggest

[AdamHaas]

Notes supports tags too and can appear in multiple Smart Folders.

[DanMills]

Great video! Another reason I don’t use Apple Notes, is that it has poor options for getting your data out, intact. Whereas Bear has a large selection of formats for exporting data.

[jorge]

Can you make a more in-depth video about Bear and also create shortcuts for it?

[AlwaysBolttheBird]

The main criteria for me when looking at a notes/things app is absolutely no subscriptions. The only time i may consider is if they offer cloud storage and even then I use iCloud anyway. There is absolutely no reason that an application that doesn’t have a backend should require a subscription for something as simple as taking notes.

[onecarwood]

Craft App is my fav I like it cuz it’s similar to notion but it looks nicer and less clutter. Although they seem to be adding so much stuff it’s getting to be to much. Apple notes just doesn’t work for me.

[SteveBarajas]

I need a reminder/task app that works with smart stack. I want to see the To Do's i have in my smart stack but Apple Notes only shows the Reminders due today. Is there an app where I just want to see what I need to do in Smart Stack? Thanks.

[Evanescenceever]

can you make shortcuts about the Things 3 app?

[PonkanPonkanPonkan]

Ahhhh yes, the illusion of productivity.

[deepimpactfitness]

All those tasks become a whole 9-5 in itself taking us away from the actual work 😂

[vkngs]

Your number 4 would automatically eliminate notion. Spending so much time setting it up and then tweaking along the way.

[vipolo]

Man you should retire and live in an offgrid forest. You have so much stuff going on

[Rozane]

If you feel you need to have so many apps and such an elaborate system to organize your life, you’re living an unfocused life.
