Use Agenda in place of a notes application and alongside a task manager and calendar. In this scenario, what kinds of things would Agenda take over from which of the other applications? Should it best be viewed as a kind of calendar adjunct, or as something else? use it alongside a notes app (Notes, Simplenote, Bear, Evernote…), a calendar app (Calendar, Bus圜al, Fantastical…), and a task manager (OmniFocus, Things…). (What, if anything, is Agenda designed to replace?) Scenarios I can envisage are:Īdd Agenda to your list of regularly used applications, i.e. Of course, users can use whatever combinations of apps they like in whatever way they like, but guidance as to typical use cases would be appreciated. While being aware that that’s not really its genre, the link with the calendar means that that’s how it’s likely to be used, it seems to me. As soon as I opened it up for the first time, it became a replacement for OmniFocus (which I bought when it first came out, and upgraded when it went to Version 2, but can’t bring myself to use consistently for more than a week at a time) in my mind, and that’s basically how I’ve been using it.
But I have to keep reminding myself that Agenda advertizes itself as a new take on notes rather than on to-dos. I was at first surprised by all the references to Evernote in this thread. This would help me think about how I may use the app and give more useful feedback. I’m reminded of early days on the Things forum - but the difference is that the developers there seemed have a really clear vision of what they wanted to achieve, and didn’t get sidetracked by adding features that took them away from that aim.Ī bit of a ramble, but my point is this: I’m curious about the developers’ vision for Agenda - what are the fundamental functions of the app in their minds? What are the non-negotiable features? But the ‘recently edited notes’ and ‘related notes’ are encouraging. I’ve not got enough notes yet to have a real feel for how Agenda will help me have an overview - without feeling overwhelmed. But when I read all the suggestions for features I fear it may suffer from bloat in the future, trying to do too many things and please too many people. I think Agenda is looking really promising - I’ve even subscribed. Some I dropped because after a burst of enthusiasm they didn’t work for me, others because they didn’t have some features I really needed.Īnd some because they just became a mess - both in terms of the app itself with feature bloat and too many options, but perhaps more importantly I couldn’t find the notes I wanted easily and I couldn’t get a clear overview of my notes, I felt bogged down in stuff, overwhelmed with no clear path through it.

To be clear: I’m getting on really well with Agenda, I’m finding the functionality useful and like lots of the planned features and quite a few of the suggestions from users.īut I’ve also been thinking back to various other apps I’ve tried for task management, notetaking and drafting text over the years, on Mac and on iOS.
