This looks like the Holy Grail of task managers. As you mention, notes are often what generate tasks, and our calendar is a logical place to put some of our tasks. Thanks for your video!
Your explanation for the task scores is so helpful. I was really perplexed by it and almost thought not to continue with Amplenote - but wow, that is so clever! And the hiding tasks (postponing with specific times) is brilliant!

Thanks. Love the straightforward explanation.
Thanks for sharing this app Scott! It is a free app if you create an account via your link to the website. I like the way the developers communicate! I look forward to sharing it with others too! And btw, I enjoyed the way you explained the differences in your video too!

I don't know, man.. You get every feature of amplenote paying 2 dollars a month in ticktick, but you can't get a lot of features of ticktick in amplenote even paying
I have a bit of a hard time with the idea of having tasks and notes in one app. It's something I don't like in the newer Evernote either. But yes, it makes sense to have them together. Maybe it's more because of how the app implements it and how the workflow is. It seems like Amplenote has found a good (and better) way to implement this. I will definitely give it a try.... and thanks for the video ;)

You are most welcome. I've often had the same feeling (and have never liked including my tasks in Evernote). But as you mentioned, AmpleNote gives us a clean way of still keeping them separate when we want them to be.

Same, i don't like it either, i use Notion and they have reminders, but i'm not gonna try setting up a system for it. I'm going to use another app like ticktick with native tools that automatically do what i want instead of setting it up myself. Any suggestions? :)
very nice video thanks

I worked on it over the weekend and went live Monday morning. So far, so good. It took a bit more learning than other systems might, but it is worth the effort. It is visually unstructured, but the user can employ a good tags system and sorting to lean into the power of the software.

This is a great review of this app and those problems are the very ones that cause so many issues for me. One of the bigger issues I have right now is that I work for a large medical organization that is constantly striving to maintain security within its system. This makes it impossible to install anything within the internal systems that I work within. Getting something like this installed properly to include my calendar would be impossible. Without that functionality, I am not sure it would be as effective. I wasn't quite sure if there was a web version or just the PC/Mac OS installs?

Very interesting. However I miss some features from Evernote : 1) Import folders : "hot folders" on Windows. Everything you drop there Evernote "swallows" and transform into a Note. 2) Search capabilities, mostly content inside PDFs. I use that quite a lot. Also search (OCR) inside images and handwritten text. As for TickTick, it do seems very compatible and better on some features. Thanks !

well... you have to mention todoist and ticktick cons and what it has that amplenote does not have.. it lacks a lot i think in terms of design and in other factors
I tried this app. It's full of infinite explaining texts, app for phone is very slow (seems a cask for web version). It's from someone that doesn't want to stop talking. Better keep my simple tasks notes
are there free alternatives to the app?
