Why I Stopped Using Todoist and Ticktick, and What I Use Now

There are many todo apps, but Todoist and Ticktick are some of the best ones! Still, some people might want to try something with more features and customizability without paying more. If so, here's my favourite free task management app.

I wish you provided info on: (1) What do you not get with free version and what you get with paid. (Or did I miss it?) (2) What is the cost (3) What is the roadmap on their cost increases planned. I'd hate to switch due to cost once I master something. But my wife and I are also on a budget. Thanks.

Liked.

I've really enjoyed using Amplenote recently and hope it sticks. Key benefits from my perspective are low friction & speed, combines task mgmt & note taking in an optimal way, and offers just enough base functionality for me to focus on writing and getting organised (i.e. I am not forever tweaking it like I did with Obsidian)

I really like your videos, always great concise content. I feel like the balance between the background music track and your voice is better these days. Great job! I think I’m going to register for your course on keep productive. Do you use exclusively amplenote for tasks and information tracking, or is PKM better off in logseq or obsidian?

[thinhle]

Really thanks for your sharing! I have skimmed through lots of websites but could not find this Amplenote until your video!

[tspmcfarlane]

Really good video - gave me lots to think about. Your presentation style is very concise and informative. Subscribed!

[kohelet]

Thank you so much!
One note about todoist, not many people know that todoist have an integration feature to sync in both way a todo project with a google calendar

Hi! Thanks for your videos! I'm trying to pick some task management and notes tools along with general organizational methods (like GDT). I don't fully understand how you combine Logseq and Amplenote. How do you decide which app to place one note in? Do you copy some notes in both apps? Or do you use Amplenote strictly for task managements and Logseq for all the other notes? I read in one comment that with Amplenote it is possible to take notes, eg. during meetings, and write there the tasks, which I guess it would be useful. However, then I wouldn't use Logseq for meetings and planning?

[kirstencook]

So helpful. Thanks. I'm going to try it. ❤

Great video, thanks a lot! Where did you get that wonderful wooden phone holder you show at 1'10'' ???

Nice review, Shu! Amplenote needs more love.

I know you are heavily promoting amplenotes everywhere possible and I love seeing the use cases you’re producing. the biggest reason I could not keep app more than 10 minutes on my phone is it’s interface, which is overly complicated and not iOS native because the app looks like made from the website but functionality wise they’re definitely good.

I’ve been flirting with Amplenote intermittently for the past two years. Recently started using it again more seriously, trying to create structures to fit my workflow and so on. For me having tasks ‘live’ where more information about them is located is really useful (e.g. the task itself is in a meeting note with more information and context).

It definitely requires a bit of changing your mindset though. Thinks like using notes as tags (your [[@ …]] example) or just getting used to having different view modes in terms of Jots, Notes, and Tasks takes time getting used to. It’s definitely not as smooth a starting experience as with e.g. Todoist or Evernote.

The way I use Amplenote now is for all the kinds of notes, tasks, ideas etc. that are meant to be somewhat fleeting in nature. Whereas I use Notion on the side for more heavy-duty project management stuff, and storing information in an organised way for long-term use. I also use Obsidian for my own take of Zettelkasten-type research notes (again, purpose is long-term use)…

I'm surprised you haven't talked about the graph (although it is still very limited). It really helps me stay motivated to keep up habits. I haven't found a better task app, and I hope they build our their features more!

Good review...Still needs a way to link e-mails in as todo's. It also needs native PC / Mac OS apps before I'll use it.

[joshhardin]

Calendar view is so incredibly useful. I used to use the todoist outlook integration which was pretty great, but they stopped supporting it a while back :(

[LuckyPandaX]

Thanks for the great review. I find ticktick to be faster for entering todos. Amplenote can do very similar things but there is no snooze, swipe gestures, worse nat language processing, and it doesn't seem to notify properly. Also everything takes so many taps to get to in Amplenote. Still I'm trying to make it work. Thanks.

[AshiqNazir]

Excellent video. I have tried setting up In-line tags, like you have, but they do not show up on the left hand side of the screen as yours do. Is there any particular way you have that setup?

[noeldelarosavlogs]

Todoist projects were unlimited at first. Thankful they didn’t delete my projects to 5. …Todoist is also half the annual price of this app now—however, judging from your video, Amplenote does seem to be more capable. However, Todoist has a kanban board that I like to use on desktop.

[none_okey]

Tnx lot abt this video ❤I wanna just ask u of i can get nofications to remind me abt task in todoist for free ?

[julienheringphd]

Thanks, great video! What's your point of view between Amplenote and Evernote, which have also todo functions?
