I use GPT 4 on ChatGPT, and have used Bing Search in the past. And honestly, ChatGPT is way way better app for my purposes. For one, it doesn’t limit your conversation to 20 replies. Also it is much more flexible, and Bing Search app is focused on searching the web, while ChatGPT uses its own “database”. For me, is the best invested subscription I pay.
This looks interesting, not gonna lie.
its a one off payment - so its 150 but for like around 5 years worth at least if not more - so like 30 a year - totally worth it
$100 per annum for managing daily activities, notes & calendar is quite expensive (subjectively).
Yeah, that’s one thing that gets me with many app subscriptions. With the amount they charge, it often doesn’t seem worth it with the features they offer over the free versions, especially if some of those features were previously part of the free version. I guess I have subscription fatigue and that’s probably why I currently only have one app subscription.
I’ve slowly been migrating back to stock Apple apps wherever possible. Notes and Reminders are now on my home screen. I still can’t fully move to Calendar or Mail yet, but I’m looking into it.
Oh yes please. Isn’t it obvious that we want to see Reminders in our Calendar. But Apple don’t provide…
Probably because it is mainly geared towards the Corporate side and offers very little for the average individual.
Apple Notes is really excellent these days; use it for all the official docs and stuff that I have to keep and it's got a great balance of features and ease of use. Can't seem to get reminders to stick though; great functionality but something about how it organises and displays things just puts me off.
Have to agree here. Actually picked up a Craft license in the Black Friday sale, and regret it somewhat. Feature wise it feels like they're doing an Evernote and chasing corporate users at the expense of the individuals. The other drawback is that everything is block based, which means you can create pretty looking notes, but I find the actual note taking experience rather poor. Went back to Bear; less pretty, but much faster and uses iCloud for syncing. Who knows one day they might even have a web version.
I too have Things that I bought not long before version 3 was released. I haven't used it as much as I used to. With many of the stock apps setting more refined and practical in daily use, I have found myself using them more, just like you with Apple Notes.
Yeah, the UX for Reminders could use some work. I find it can be a pain when I want to set actual reminders with alerts etc, but I mostly just use it for a shared to do list and shared shopping list with my wife, and for that it’s been fine.
I think this is certainly the case for some of them; the other is that productivity videos gets the clicks. Totally agree about to simplicity. Some apps like seem to be more for people who like tweaking their productivity systems than anything else. I'm sure people find them useful, but they're way beyond my relatively simple needs (I'd argue that Things and Bear are at the relatively simple end of the spectrum, certainly compared to Omnifocus, Obsidian and the like).
Reckon that Reminders has more features than Things these days, and the interface is struggling a bit to keep up.
Just curious, do you heavily use the “scheduled” list? Or do you evenly distribute tasks over all your lists? Do you place the activity on the Calendar app right after scheduling the reminder? It would be nice some kind of integration between Remainders and Calendar apps…
The free version of Fantastical will allow you to integrate Apple Reminders. I know it's not a stock solution but, it may work for some here.
