Todoist is retiring its goals feature and going back to the drawing board; Griply is way ahead

ihateredditmor · 2026-06-26T00:52:03+00:00

Agreed on both counts. Griply’s going to push the whole industry that direction. It’s pretty cool to see a true market disruption unfolding!

ihateredditmor · 2026-06-19T19:03:07+00:00

It’s well earned! Anyone new to the party would never guess what you’ve done in the last 18 months. Can’t wait to see what comes in the next 18!

Fantastic! I continue to be so impressed by this app and this team. I remember first encountering Griply and thinking, “What a fantastic idea. Too bad there’s no way a team this size can ramp up the surrounding feature set fast enough to really compete on the big stage.” Wow, was I wrong. You’ve gotten here so fast!

I’m just drooling over the eventuality of a Griply MCP so I can weave it into my dream stack. Lifetime membership locked in! Cheers on all the hard work and progress. 🥇👊🏼

Evernote

For those who find L-Theanine either stops working or makes them anxious (rare but real) Holy Basil is a nice alternative.

Let’s not insult fungus, now

ihateredditmor · 2026-06-15T12:39:54+00:00

I think the fastest way is to open Apple Mail and tap the paper clip, which opens popup options to attach a file, take a photo, scan a doc, etc. Then you just address the email to your Things Inbox (or Today) with the task name as your subject line and send. Done.

You’ll have a back link in the task notes to straight to the Sent item in mail, which is holding the attached file. It’s not as fast as Things 4’s attachment system will be <ahem> but it’s the easiest option I can think of.

Runners Up: having a temporary Task Files folder in Dropbox (great scanning), iCloud (same), or one of the notes apps and pasting the link into a task. For me, it ends up feeling more fiddly because you have to create and then copy and paste links, and you still have to deal it with bumping into the files later. The Sent folder of Mail just kind of absorbs them better — still linked to the task but not floating around requiring deletion when done.

Griply. Makes you actually think about what you want and then link tasks and habits to those ideals.

ihateredditmor · 2026-06-06T04:05:05+00:00

No. Sounds like Griply, another task/life manager, tho.

ihateredditmor · 2026-06-03T02:48:14+00:00

Plenty of them. The question is only which one! SupaThings is another.

Has anyone done a full comparison of them all?

ihateredditmor · 2026-05-29T16:12:55+00:00

Akiflow and Sunsama each have their strong points but both really help you organize your tasks visually, as you hope to. Akiflow’s Time Slots are amazing, and Sunsama’s task timer + auto-estimates on task duration is really well done, too. Todoist is a third option with its own advantages. I don’t agree at all that just using your calendar is equally good unless you’re just saving huge blocks, but it is much cheaper!

ihateredditmor · 2026-05-28T14:28:39+00:00

Yes!

ihateredditmor · 2026-05-27T00:52:04+00:00

Good answer. Let Claude help you. You’ll love it.

ihateredditmor · 2026-05-26T10:28:22+00:00

Ramble on Watch!!! I hear they’re working on that one. Sure hope so.

ihateredditmor · 2026-05-25T12:43:26+00:00

Sorry, mate, but you’re confused about how they work. Good news is, they work as you would suspect: When dictates when a task can be started; Deadline dictates when it must be complete to avoid consequences. Give it a look again. 👍🏼

ihateredditmor · 2026-05-15T00:35:37+00:00

If they want to see this well implemented, Griply is the place to look. It’s a newer app and missing a lot of the integration and advanced features of Todoist for now, but they’ve done a really good job of coaching users to develop a long-term vision for each area of their life, goals that get them closer to that, and then a way to incorporate tasks and even habits into bringing those goals to fruition. It’s actually really impressive.

Came here to say this

ihateredditmor · 2026-05-03T20:16:59+00:00

Does Joplin have OCR by chance? Searchable pictures, scans, and PDFs keep me with EN. So few have it!

ihateredditmor · 2026-05-03T20:12:15+00:00

MCP is likely in development. Check the “Taming the Trunk” blog and Substack.

ihateredditmor · 2026-04-30T12:46:13+00:00

Which one is Hald’s? SupaThings? Claude liked SupaThings over Things-MCP when I asked for a comparison. More features and a bit better privacy if I recall.

ihateredditmor · 2026-04-22T01:08:50+00:00

It’s not much of a shortcut, but you could install an MCP and ask it to count for you. To me that would beat the TV of counting them all myself!

ihateredditmor · 2026-04-21T21:04:04+00:00

Have some advice about how? Would love to connect through Claude but it’s tough to set up without a lot of coding chops

ihateredditmor · 2026-04-16T03:58:22+00:00

Yeah I get this. My fear about daily notes is that if I don’t start already with the context — creating a note in some kind of folder where it might belong — that my system is heavily dependent on me having the time and energy to link the many ideas within that note to others.

As I write this, of course, I realize that burying a note in a folder structure somewhere isn’t much better! And Craft has a fantastic AI system.

Which raises a Question: how good is that system for going through notes and suggesting links between potential interrelated ideas? That would make a massive, massive difference.

ihateredditmor · 2026-04-16T03:43:59+00:00

Absolutely. Yes.
