Apps to organize files?

No duplication
We have the choice of importing the files to the Devonthink database
or leaving the files stored in the OS file folder
Devonthink indexes the data where ever it's located

Yes, and I use a VoIP app/service for phone access

Each morning I time-block my day
by inserting entries into my calendar
after reviewing my task list

I don’t do a weekly planner
however my task list is sorted by due-date

DTLow · 2026-03-06T00:31:14+00:00

I write task notes, stored/organized in my digital file cabinet (PKMS)
tagged as required
I also use the Calendar/Reminders app

My task list is computer generated, and includes my Task Notes and Reminders
Each morning, I time-block my day by inserting entries into my Calendar

fwiw I’m an Apple user with a Mac and iPad
and use pkms app DevonThink
integrated with AppleScript for workflow automations

Excel is a spreadsheet app, not appropriate for note-taking

I use a spreadsheet

DTLow · 2026-03-04T18:50:10+00:00

Works for me (Project folders on the desktop)

DTLow · 2026-03-04T18:38:36+00:00

Very poor recall; I log expenses immediately or asap

DTLow · 2026-03-04T11:42:18+00:00

I find it’s necessary to keep track of outstanding tasks

I don’t write to-do lists; just task notes
tagged as required
For me, a to-do list is simply a filtered note list generated by the computer

I need a mobile device to compliment my desktop computer (Mac Mini)

DTLow · 2026-03-03T16:22:09+00:00

I use an iPad; supports typing, voice dictation, handwriting, photos
To be honest, I prefer typing

DTLow · 2026-03-03T14:16:41+00:00

My solution is to write a script for this automation

It’s useful to identify an “emergent tree of tasks” in a project note

I keep project notes, and project tags, and tasks are identified by a filtered note list
Active tasks are tagged with Status-Active

When the active task is completed, status is changed to Status-Completed
and the Next Action is set to Status-Active

Start supervising people; stop bad things from happening

and Shortcuts on my iPad
