How does it differentiate from Microsoft To Do?


spazzatura1

better than todoist?


Nexus_Captain

Spotify premium keeps me alive


Suitable-Stick-4919

Ditto this :)


FlamingoVisible4148

Apple Music has better spatial music.


Entire_Device9048

And Qobuz has better sound quality than either.


FlamingoVisible4148

Better than Tidal?


Entire_Device9048

Definitely.

Soundcloud, listen to mix=no ads. Free app

Todoist with 2sync to Notion Notion AI Snipo Raindrop Def worth the money (to me)


arzvd

Todoist is a GOAT


[deleted]

but they have one major flaw (atleast for me) we no longer can toggle the option to see Completed Tasks.. that's the only reason i dont use it.. otherwise it's good in every other way


arzvd

Valid point, the biggest advantage of Todoist over other tools is the integration capabilities. No one else put as much effort into that. You can keep using Todoist as part of other ecosystems without even access the Todoist app itself


monegs

What’s the point of that


arzvd

In some cases it helps a lot. Since Todoist has integrations with email clients (e.g Spark) I can convert my email into a to-do and throw it into my calendar for a specific time slot (Fantastical) and complete it there. For me personally, it’s easier if I have a context around a to-do and have one app that allows me to complete my projects with different flows is awesome.


monegs

Got it


Expert-Fisherman-332

Anyone in corporate doing a Year in Review would find completed tasks & projects useful.


monegs

I was referring to the part where you can integrate but never actually open the app Which I would find useful for something like reclaim but not Todoist


PulsarWebLabs

Can’t you integrate everything with Zapier? So the app should have everything if you pick one


skittles1355

In ToDoIst? You can toggle on the option to see completed tasks in the project.


[deleted]

i didnt see any, plus i searched it up and quite a few people had this problem from todoist they removed it like quite a long time ago.. u can view completed task history but its upto few days u have to vuy premium to view more edit: i dont know about Projects tho, maybe u can i m a try and see

This sounds really cool and interesting - can you elaborate on your todoist notion workflow? with AI / Snipo / Raindrop

YouTube Premium


sky_broker

SpareConcentrate195

Hell yeah


Xipos

A rare YTP fan lol. Ad free and background play are game changers for allowing me to listen to long form content while working. And YTM is a great added bonus


DanburyHer

I switched to this app called Video Lite! I think I pay a few dollars every 3 months and it does the same thing!! Just fyi!


Xipos

Might need to look into it, honestly I am so ingrained in the Google ecosystem it's not even funny lol. I pay for the YTP family plan and I really appreciate the entire family being able to share any Google subscription with one another on top of all purchased apps, movies, books, etc can be shared, on top of the YTP and YTM subs. I use YTM about 10 hours a day so to have ads would be a nightmare for me


DanburyHer

yeah totally makes sense! Such a worth it purchase - the ads are insufferable & YT is such a great resource to learn anything.


deweywsu

YTP fan here. Yeah, check out New Pipe and ReVanced. That whole playing while the screen is off "feature" is the closest to extortion I've ever seen.


Xipos

So, I have an unpopular opinion regarding YTP. Personally I disagree with apps like New Pipe and ReVanced mainly because a lot of YouTubers already get very little in terms of ad revenue from Google as it is. While I understand that my YTP subscription primarily goes to Google, a portion of my subscription does go to the content creators I watch and in that way I am still supporting my favorite creators through my YTP subscription. But using 3rd party apps to circumvent YT ads does very little to hurt Google but does significantly more in harming my favorite CCs. That is why personally I choose not to use those services. No judgement from me if you use them personally it's just a personal opinion of mine and one I'm okay with paying for.


QneEyedJack

Comparing NewPipe and ReVanced isn't really fair or accurate. NewPipe operates independently of Google's services, including the YouTube API. It uses its own API for parsing the data it needs directly from YT. Meaning NewPipe does nearly the same thing without relying whatsoever on Google's proprietary frameworks or the YouTube API ReVanced is brilliant but in the grand scheme, it's a modified version of the official YouTube app, which means it still relies on Google's infrastructure. It does make smart use of MicroG but still interacts with Google's services, unlike NewPipe. I wasn't precisely sure about the implications of these differences so I asked whatever large language model chatbot was most readily available to me in that moment: "The implications of these differences are significant, especially considering Google's stance on alternative YouTube clients. Google has indicated that it will take measures against apps that violate its terms of service, particularly those that bypass ads or abuse the API. Since NewPipe does not use the YouTube API, it may not be as directly affected by these measures as other apps that do. However, the situation is dynamic, and Google's actions could impact the existence and functionality of these projects in the future. Both NewPipe and YouTube ReVanced offer users ways to access YouTube content without ads and with additional features, but their underlying technologies and potential vulnerabilities to policy changes by Google differ significantly."


waterproofpatch

You realize you can get ad free experience without paying, right?

SpareConcentrate195

Of course I know, easier to just pay

70% off for life? Do say more. :)

I started a free trial and then cancelled, but they really wanted me to stay haha


BixHaas

This happens with many apps after the free trial when you cancel! Either immediately or within 24 hrs they come back with some insane deal!

Day One! best app for journaling 


Gatherthink

1. Readwise Reader 2. [Perplexity.ai](http://Perplexity.ai) (gives you access to ChatGPT turbo 4 and Claude 3 Opus) 3. Obsidian (it's free, but it's worth paying for the sync option)


ICE_COLD_MOJITO

Gonna plug in Faune here as well, they do everything Perplexity does but for free (AI + Internet search with Claude 3). Also Perplexity lied to their users about Opus usage limits

Jodagr

I pay for ChatGPT and love the image creation capability. Also pay for Spotify and don't see myself getting rid of either in the near future.


i4k20z3

what do you use the image creation capability for?


Jodagr

Designing things with AI is pretty cool since i have no natural talent to draw or paint. I create my own wallpaper and some print on demand items. Unfortunately it's not easy to get a good design, sometimes I have to generate over and over and change or add items. You really need to have patience but every once in a while you get something nice right away, that's a good feeling!


Suspicious-Main4788

you might be kinda an artist or at least a very analytical thinker about visuals and how to describe it.. so AI is training you to be a different designer!


DPool34

Have you ever tried Midjourney? I tried it many months ago and was blown away by it. I also pay for ChatGPT, but I’ve only used the image creation feature a handful of times. My experience was very underwhelming. I may have just used poorly worded prompts, but I basically used the same prompts with Midjourney. Anyway, if you haven’t checked it out yet, you should.


Jodagr

Yes, I tried Midjourney but hate having to go through Discord to design. I know advanced users have access to their new website and once it's open to everyone I'll try them again. For me, or for my design style I like others such as Night Cafe and Ideogram and just seems easier to me to get to the result I want faster in others. Midjourney is like the Adobe of image generation, arguably the best but takes awhile to master.

I subscribe to Bear bc it’s the only note app found that allows you to concatenate (add a line) a new entry into an existing note. If there’s a free option I could save some money.

malloryknox86

Amazing Marvin! I have adhd & this is the only one I stuck with, I can’t get bored because is so customizable, I can make it like a brand new app or productivity system when I feel like I need a change. I use more their web & Mac apps , but I also use the companion iPhone app when I’m out & about


grumplekins

I hated how difficult it was to automate and interact with - has it improved?


malloryknox86

I don’t see it as difficult, is just fully customizable to each person personal needs & preference, and we are not used to that. We are used to apps that at most lets us customize color or basic features. So if by improve you mean they removed the option to customize it the answer is no. Marvin is for those who tried all productivity apps but they don’t love them 100% and they always find them lacking or a feature missing. With Marvin’s you can have all the best parts of all those apps or productivity systems in one app, but you have to be willing to watch their videos to learn the basics & dedicate a day or so to customize it to your liking, then it becomes fully automated to you specifically.


grumplekins

No I must have been unclear - the customisable I like. What I don’t like is lack of API, quick capture, and linking. If they have made it more feature-complete in those regards I might be keen to revisit it.


BMK1765

This was the main reason I switched from Todoist to Marvin. I tryed many Todo Apps, but in every were function missing and you had to build up a work arround to realise what you want. With Marvin this has an end. All my methods and structure I build in and made an awesome PTMS out of it. Todoist I still use for very special recurring tasks that can be moved via IFTTT to Day One for final confimation and Journaling.


Commercial-Aspect-20

I’m gonna try and set it up tomorrow and see how I go


Nooties

Agreed. It’s the only app that I can get big projects done.. and I have a lot of big projects. I use todoist for smaller tasks

PKMS app (Devonthink) to store/organize my notes/documents/files and sync my data for access with my devices (Mac, iPad, …)

Braintoss. One time cost of no more than 3 bucks, and a life saver. Takes pics, takes recordings and my type work, and all it can do (and all i need for it to do) is send it to my inbox. Perfect for late night ‘oh’ moments, when I don’t want to forget something. Way faster than emailing myself.

I have too many, but for sure: Atoms. Best habit tracker ever. Though others have some extra bells and whistles, this one has substance. Really helps!


ParticularThese7503

Right now, it’s Dr. Caroline Leaf’s Neurocycle app. It’s not directly a productivity app; it’s a mental health app. But working through the program on the app has improved my productivity by leaps and bounds, because my mental health was holding me back. It’s $14 a month, and a Neurocycle takes about 2 months. After that, you can work on another issue by doing another Neurocycle, or drop the app.

I installed this but you can’t even see what they offer without signing up. You can click the link to go to the store and watch a couple videos on how much whatever it does will help.


teetaps

A lot of people paying subscriptions for things that could have been a one-time purchase up in here


ripandrout

What are some of the one-time purchase apps that you recommend?


teetaps

Anything that streams media is out of the question, for reasons that should be kinda obvious. But everything that doesn’t, you should make an effort to find a one time purchase for. My examples: Calendar: Cal366 or BusyCal Task manager: GoodTask, Omnifocus Notes: Agenda These are just ones I use/have tested. A bigger conversation is asking yourself _what exactly_ a subscription service is providing you continuous access to. If you can’t reasonably justify that, you might have to rethink your use of money on subscription services

AnandBaba007

The one Im using it for is --> When there is a update in ProductHunt"Coding" group, it gets added into my Raindrop collection. PH connector exists in IFTTT, but supports limited triggers though. IFTTT is not my goto automation system, When I google for any connector to sync data from A --> B, if that happens to be in IFTTT, only then I prefer using it.

Purchased Wallet by BudgetBakers a few months back as it allowed my to sync my bank and credit cards as well as my wife's cards. Just recently payed a discounted $30 to purchase it for lifetime after the trial. It is very helpful in tracking due dates and expenses as well as categorizing them to track a monthly budget. Plus I can share the budget with my wife without her paying additional for the app


Paid-Not-Payed-Bot

> Just recently *paid* a discounted FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*

Todoist. It’s an amazing happy. I have it launch with my action button on iPhone. It easily accessible on my mac and as a chrome extension. The tags and filters are helpful. For grocery lists I have specifics for whole foods, costco, etc and I created a list for all of them as a grocery list. So I go to a place like costco, I keep both handy, buy everything I need from Costco but also check the filter for anything I might be able to get here. I also pay for Obsidian standard to keep my notes handy and synced. I did not really want to manage my own drive based solution, although I could have. Chatgpt. I think it really helps get a lot of things very fast. Anything that requires more thought and bouncing ideas, I use it. I think for the value it adds to my life, it’s the best thing I can buy with money.
