COMMUNITY QUESTION:
What're your early opinions on Agenda for Mac?

[jeffjordan]

I am constantly shifting between note taking applications. I love certain things about Apple Notes, Evernote, OneNote, Bear, etc... But after awhile, I just grow bored! I spend a tremendous amount of time TAKING notes, but very little time looking back at my notes. Agenda is interesting. I really like the tight integration with calendar and reminders (finally!). And the organization with projects and categories is about right. Subtle use of tagging. It is well designed and not 'old' looking like OneNote. I agree that it is built around note taking as it relates to your calendar / agenda... but you do not have to use it that way. It is also good for just plain note taking. So, in my case most of my notes are just that.. notes, while other notes I make use of the calendar / reminders integration. Just a little different... but actually in a good way. I think this app is REALLY good... you just have to get your head around it!

Just downloaded agenda on my iPad and iPhone.... a walkthrough and review would be appreciated.
Thanks for all you

Hey, everytime I find a new note taking app I am hyped... in the past with Evernote, Notion, Roam, Obsidian and now Mem and Agenda... every App is great in one or a few more ways, but no one includes everything I need...

At the moment I think I have to write down what I want to do and which App is the best for it. Maybe its the best, to use more app and no "all-in-one-solution".

I need:

Book / Films / Series Collections
Collections Ideas
Linking Notes and Ideas
Daily Notes / Daily Planner
Calendar-View
Storage files
Tasks
Project-Management
Reminders

And which Apps are the best for these things?

Book / Films / Series Collections ?
Collections Ideas -> Mem
Linking Notes and Ideas -> Roam & Obsidian
Daily Notes / Daily Planner with Calendar-View ?
Storage files -> iCloud Desktop OR Evernote
Tasks -> Things 3
Project-Management -> ClickUp ?
Reminders -> Apple Reminder (with Apple Watch)


Its not easy...

:)

It looks like Things with different colours.

Hey Francesco, am guessing this is weak or at least weak-ish as a todo app? Looking for something that combines a todo list and a calendar in one space. Would you care to recommend something :)

[kevinfjharris]

First off, great walkthrough of the app. But the app itself is a convoluted mess of confusion. Sticking with Bear, pure and simple is where it's at.

[craigthebugguy]

Preordered from the App Store today for iPhone and iPad.... love it on the Mac and can’t wait to use it on all devices

[AlergicToSnow]

I’m trying, but I still can’t see how Agenda significantly improves my workflow.

[bladesNstuff]

You could use this as a tickler file as well.

[evanjelici_senec]

So, I think this is similar to Omnifocus? Or I am wrong?
Can You compare with OF?

[NamasenITN]

It's a pity you didn't discuss file format and (cloud?) storage. There is an iOS app at the time of writing...

[YourDigitalMakeover]

I tried Agenda out and it wasn't for me. I prefer Evernote. But I think it does have potential. Agenda does have a beautiful design.

[TufanIvanovsky]

Okay... because of the design and the logo it is top 3 note app. Nice.

[CraigAir]

Overall I prefer Evernote ... but Evernote does desperately need to refresh their note editor - and Agenda shows just what can be achieved. Very nice.

[craigthebugguy]

Would also like to hear you address the differences and similarities of Agenda and Notion and where they overlap
Both fantastic apps!!

[enjoyette]

I was wondering about this app. Thanks a ton for sharing!

[HorStephen]

Would instantly switch from Evernote if got team collaboration

[alemeirelles]

Things 3 meets Bear.
but without iOS app? no way.
In the Future, could be a good replace of Bear, thats paid for sync btween devices

[StephenMorganMacKay]

No iOS app, no image support, confusing interface, lack of thorough support tutorials, and a price point on par with a serious task manager. No thanks.
