If Microsoft could provide better integrate between, OneNote, Sticky Notes, To Do, and Outlook, they could be unbeatable.

Amplenote is a decent product that does Notes, tasks and calendar

[RJBeck]

It kills me that Amplenotes wasn't mentioned. Not only does it do Notes, Tasks, & Calendar, it's available on all devices. It's the most approachable app in this space from what I've seen.

TickTick is a pretty decent hybrid app! Not all the way perfect though. However, it has a great task system, notes section and decent calendar function!

[carlosallanofficial]

I've been using Trello (free version) everyday for the last 3 years, for tasks and project management, and now I started using the Planyway power up (also the free version) to view my tasks in a calendar. It's been working great for me.

[csnanayakkara]

Todoist has a free sync option with Google Calendar, scheduled tasks show up on your google calendar to time.

[JRichie]

Craft App is by far the best one that works for me.

[genefifer]

It would be interesting to compare various project management apps for their abilities to combine calendar, tasks, docs, and project tracking.

[AdnanQawas]

Any recommendations for android task + calendar hybrid that doesn't require subscription?

[mat.just_mat]

Me personally, I have a specific view of it. And I’ll try my best to describe it.
I like blending note + tasks and calendar + tasks, in a way that the tasks I create on the note appears on the calendar and vice versa

[blackforestoldtimers]

Great Video as always but why did you not add Routine Calendar? Saw this on your channel and must say I love it since...

[usingtimewisely]

Thanks for taking the time to create this video, but you forgot to cover Amplenote. It is the hybrid app that works best for me.

What about Fantastical the calendar/task combination app?

[browncookiemonster]

Since Feb, we have been working on something that falls on the intersection of all three. Let me know if you are interested

[adomakins]

I've found NotePlan to be a great all-rounder. I really like to take notes on tasks, monitor them, and keep them tacked onto a calendar. It's a great app from a dedicated team, but there's sadly no iOS widgets which is very disappointing!!

[danielvelho]

isnt Routine one that tries to combine all?

[andricheli]

I really like Noteplan because it stores files locally. I just wish it could be used alongside Obsidian (as in, it could access the same folder that I use for my Obsidian Vault). If Noteplan could do that, it would be a great app to use in conjunction with Obsidian. However, Noteplan does not use the filename as the note title, which screws everything up.

[ImRan_Maik]

My current three productivity apps;
Calendar: Google Calendar
To-do: TickTick
Notes: Notion

[IAmDanMillen]

Just waiting for Sunsama to make a half decent mobile app, and to allow every task created within to sync back to todoist, and that'll be the game wrecker. Or for todoist to make a calendar module. A real head scratcher as to why they haven't.

Where would you put Outlook Boards in this?
