Agenda for iOS Review

Agenda … is one of the most interesting note-taking apps I've used. The app is simultaneously structured around projects, like a task manager, and dates, like a calendar app.

What makes Agenda a little bewildering at first is its use of dates and projects, which sometimes makes it feel like a calendar app and other times like a task manager, even though it's neither. The app doesn't try to force you into a predefined system. Instead, Agenda gives you multiple ways to organize and view your notes through tagging, filtering, sorting, and searching. The upside is flexibility that should accommodate almost anyone's workflow. The downside is that it can take time and experimentation to discover how it can work for you.

The parallels with Orgmode are, at least to me, obvious and surprising in a good way. I played with Agenda on iOS. The metaphor was a visual analog to how I use (or, more correctly, strive to use) Orgmode for Getting Shit Done.

Hmmm … I wonder how long until there's a way to integrate the two …



My original entry is here: Agenda for iOS & macOS seems very Orgmode like in approach. It posted Tue, 05 Jun 2018 12:55:28 +0000.
