your new productivity tool

I love productivity tools, task managers, todo lists, note taking apps.

I love them because they always try to do something new, something flexible, something powerful.
You could think that after years and years of note taking apps we would have the perfect app, right?

We don’t.

Some are too easy, some too complex. The same goes with todo list. In that space, we would expect the innovation to have stalled and reached some kind of maturity but no, we continue to see the rise (and fall) of many todo apps, when all we want is an easy way to

• input a task
• schedule a task
• reschedule a task

We don’t have this. We do have all the nice features, priority, comments, collaborations. Not only that, but we do have a lot of them, and I’m sure they’re useful. But at the same time they all (well, the ones I’ve tried) fail with such a simple requirement.

They fail not because the feature isn’t there. But because it takes more than it’s needed, more clicks and more navigation.
That’s why many people revert to the old reminders/notes apps they have installed in their system.

Easy doesn’t suck.
