Add quarterly Task "Try another Calendar App"

[DingBatDaniel]

Marques, just launch your own Calendar/ Tasks/Notes app. You have the passion and the exposure to bring it to market.

[KyleJones_TN]

Thank you for articulating the nuance of what we’re looking for in calendar apps. I’m not as exploratory for new calendar apps, so it would be awesome to hear Marques’s pros and cons in how they fit into his real life.

I mean… personally I’d appreciate a video comparing different calendars/todo list apps!

Still trying to find the right one for me

My favorite calendar app is Calendar by Readdle Limited. It lets me bring in all my separate work and personal calendars, subscribe to calendars (mostly sports/tv shows), and let's me see an entire month with the events by day (that's the key for me). I use Apple reminders so that part isn't as important to me, but it has that too.

I'm with Marques. I'm addicted to the todo/calendar hunt. Tried Amie as well. Seemed solid but it felt like they spent more time on the website than the app.

not only this - mail software too...
Edison mail - cannot browse folders
Outlook mail - double notifications, no notifications, notification quick actions not working
Spark email - weird design choices like "marking email as done" moves it to the archive folder, even if you moved it to one of your folders.

This and calendar apps for desktop MacOS has been a pain...
So happy to be back to IOS and not having to worry about looking for calendar / mail app

After trying countless different calendar apps and note taking apps and task managing apps I always end up going back to Apple Notes and Apple Mail. Sigh.

Google keep notes does not highlight the searched keyword due to which if you search something, it will show you what notes file will have that but once you open that notes file, your searched string value could be at line number 1500.

I've enjoyed the Outlook 365 Calendar updates! They let you know how many focus hours, leisure hours, collaborators you communicated with, most often talked to, etc. etc. there are a lot of nice features to that for work, I can imagine having that functionality in everyday life would be great!

[Tim.Schaffhauser]

I have the same toxic trait lmao. I've recently switched to another "all-in-one" (just calendar and to-do though, no email) called "Morgen" and so far I am really impressed with it. What I love is that there is a dedicated left bar where you can put in all the stuff you want to do in separate lists and just drag and drop them into the calendar to schedule them. It's such a simple and effective system. Oh and it's free for personal use (one calendar integration and unlimited subscribed calendars)

[naamamendesjunior]

I don't understand the guy that questions the need for a new calendar, but has an Arc sticker. It is for the same reason.

Nothing replaces the ease of using Google Calendar. I can talk to my phone and add a task or event and it all just shows up in one spot i can glance at. I love notion but until my google tasks sync there, I can't use it. Being able to set tasks with my voice is crucial because I have adhd. I wont write it down if i have to open an app to type.

[danielhung]

I’m sorry but Amie app logo looks like something else…..

[zombiesrok]

I would love to see all the apps Marques and team use on the daily! I think you all did that awhile back but I would love an update!. Android and iOS. PLEASE!!!

[tobyal]

i would love it if marques had a second channel where he reviews pieces of software. that’d be awesome!

[toolfinderhq]

Let’s just help him find one, once and for all.

[frosinifederico]

Marques, Please make a video for our calendar app enthusiastic!!!!🙏🙏

[madmixy]

marques needs to disconnect from the callender apps LOL
