For me the biggest pro of using Apple‘s own apps is that they save you lot of time because they are low maintenance from a user perspective. I don‘t have to think about subscriptions, about app companies being sold, about compatibility between iPhone, iPad, Mac, Watch and so on. Apple‘s suite of apps may not be the most configurable but it‘s solid and just works.

What an enlightening video! Thank you Carl for your clear and concise message.

I’m with you. I think the Apple suite of apps has evolved nicely. Looking forward to more connectivity via sharing (that isn’t buried in a sub menu) between apps. Specifically like linking a message (which I don’t think you can do) to a reminder. There is a workaround for Mail, but it doesn’t share between devices. A reminder will show but the link will be dead on every device except the one the reminder originated on. Simple things to improve the experience. Cheers Carl and thanks! Subscribed.

Nice video 👏🏻 Subscribed 👍🏻

I’ve always used Apple’s default apps because I feel it simplifies things and also is the same across all my Apple devices. One app I for whatever reason never started using was Reminders. I essentially use a rough To Do List in Notes and constantly re-jigging calendar events for non-specific date to do’s and so looking to learn how to use Reminders now by watching videos like yours 👍🏻

Thank you, Carl. I would happy to watch your idea about building up the BASB (Building a second brain by Tiago Forte) system in the Apple ecosystem. 🙂🙏🏻

We've had the ability to execute all the features demonstrated in the past two years, with the exception of the smart lists, which were rolled out just last year. Great video nonetheless—thank you.

I was all over the place in different ecosystems that when i wanted to find something i could not find it or complicated everything instead of being productive. Also, i had subscriptions models all over the place. I did some hard soul searching and decided to go from Evernote to Apple Notes, from Microsoft 365 Office to Apple's native Pages and Numbers etc.. All my hardware is Apple so sticking with native apps for peace of mind.

What I really want is linking between apps. For example if I put something on calendar I would like the option to link that and it becomes a reminder and in the note section of reminder be able to link to an Apple note.

Thank you for the content. Subscribed!

Regarding collecting to inbox, if you’ve specified the Inbox list as primary you don’t need to specify each task entry

[devarni]

How do you decide what's in Apple Reminders and what's in Todoist?

[joshuanolan]

Fantastic video… now utilizing the COD method to help myself organize!

I find it utterly bizarre that I can drag an email from Apple Mail into Things 3 and trun it into a task but I can't do that with Reminders - unless I've missed something obvious? About 80% of my work tasks are created from emails or phone calls, the rest are scheduled routine tasks. That's why I can't make the leap away from Things 3 even though I'd like to

[yorgosvoyiatzis]

Yes! And ditto for a money management system.

[neilstagner]

Is there a way to track customers/prospects or leads inside the Apple universe that syncs with calendars, reminders, notes, etc.?

[AlexVassiosOfficial]

What about Freeform? I’ve loved using it for managing projects and brainstorming. But I’m struggling to find distinctions between using it and Notes

[VelazquezDuran]

I always use the apple’s apps because it simple share the info between apps.

[eurekapg]

Thanks for this Carl - you've been hard at work since the new iOS - curious what this means for your own system - Todoist / Evernote etc?

[Stasyssinkevicius]

System it can call when it’s connected different apps together. Reminders, Notes and Calendar not
