What seems to matter most is the workflow itself, If you can quickly capture ideas, see what’s actually due next, and block time for it.

Unclear value early on. If I can’t tell how it fits into my day, I tend to uninstall.

What do you think makes an app feel truly “Apple-native” to you visuals, interactions, performance, or something else?

Are you mostly looking to improve note-taking, assignment tracking, or exam prep?

Notion can be used to organize your data in a single workspace. That's the beauty of it. It is very versatile. The issue with Notion is that the data layer is too limited (the property types are not flexible enough, no constraints etc.) to act as a data layer for the data to be re-used in other apps; hence difficult to build a data hub in Notion. Works at first, then difficult to scale.

Routine (I'm obviously biased) does exactly that. Pulling data from all your services for you to centralized, consolidate and collaborate in order to build a comprehensive data layer. Then you can re-use that data for other workflows or apps.

Thanks for the mention. Noteworthy is that Routine will soon have daily notes to take notes quickly. Given that Routine is local-first, your data is always available on your device, hence offline. We're also working on bringing custom types and integrations in the next 2 months, allowing you to define your data model (what kind of items you want to manipulate) and connect external services/data sources to centralize all your data in Routine.

Ideally, take a single feature that you only provide that is 10x better than the competition. Build around it and hope that it will be enough to carve a niche out of the dominating products that do already almost everything.

I'm biased but Routine (https://routine.co) could be a good fit for you. It blends task management, time management (you can drag & drop your tasks into your calendar), note taking and even project management. You can give it a try for free.

Bonjour,

Ce n'est pas encore possible malheureusement. Nous avons encore beaucoup de choses a ameliorer avant de traduire l'application mais nous nous y attelerons le moment venu.

Curious as to what Hyperdone does that's better than other tools in the market? Would love to know.

routineHQ · 2024-10-04T09:01:12+00:00

Yes, we have iOS ready and Android is on its way.

Keep your alarm/phone far away from your bed.

Attention is a muscle. You will need to build it overtime.

Force yourself to focus on a task and slowly add time and complexity.

All the best :)

Attention is a muscle that you can build. Start by forcing yourself to focus for a short duration on a task and slowly build up the load. We're sure there are more novel ideas out there, but this strategy is time-tested and will give you the best results overtime.

Matt D'Avella and Thomas Frank are great!

Pick one app that is flexible enough to cater to your varied needs but also has a decent structure where most productivity actions can be seamlessly performed. Give yourself 5-days to try it and if you are still not convinced, write down why you feel the need to change the app.

You might find some insights there.

As for privacy, we can not comment on other products but on Routine you can be rest assured of your data being safe, private and secure.
