This is another app that I love for it’s natural language support. I don’t use it’s task or weather features though. It’s widgets are also very good and it supports Shortcuts. I also like that on the mac, it can display the name of the next event in the menu bar as well as how much time until the next event. In 2020, they also made it easy to join video calls, which has been very useful for me. It now has the ability to send out calendar invites with multiple time proposals. It also combines events if they have the same title and time on different calendars. I love its ability to create and switch between different calendar sets. You can enter events with natural language instead of having to mess with entering data into multiple fields. It switched to a subscription at the beginning of the year and I immediately purchased a year. This allows my wife and I to keep separate email accounts and yet work on email together without forwarding emails back and forth.įantastical has been the best email app for a while and it just continues to get better. We can even write emails together in real-time similar to Google Docs. This allows my wife and I to chat about emails and to assign emails to each other. I was using Airmail (and I still use it for my work email), but I switched to Spark for its ability to collaborate on email. Move the wake up time back by 5 minutes.

It’s one of the apps that supports subscription Family Sharing. I can also snooze those tasks with a great UI that lets me add and subtraction increments of time right from the notification. Due will send me notifications every 5 minutes until I do it. I have also moved Podcasting out of OmniFocus and into Roam Research instead because I can plan better and write show notes all in the same place.Įven though I use OmniFocus for tasks and project planning, I sometimes always need to be nagged about certain tasks. I want to have less someday/maybe stuff in there and have that in Roam Research instead. In The Year of Calm I want to pair down what I use it for. I’ve even written automations for it with JavaScript. OmniFocus does this beautifully and it has only gotten better in the 2 years since I started using it. I wanted a really powerful and usable task manager that could handle anything I throw at it. This is the app that got me to switch to iPhone (I talk more about switching to iPhone in Talking Dudes S03 Episode 10). This is not a comprehensive list, but it’s my favorite apps (that I’m willing to share), without making the list too long. I thought I would list out my favorite and most used apps.
