What's your favorite note-taking/productivity tool and why?
I'm doing some research about what you like the most about whatever note-taking/productivity tool that you can't live without.
For my side, I love the simplicity and easy-setup about the tables that Notion offers, to quickly organize my finances, I definitely can't live without it. 🤔
What about you? Also, is there any improvement that you would like to see regarding your picking?

@efesenertr curious to know how the discovery works for you over notion? I have been a notion user for 4 years now. And there's so much information that sometimes I can't just can't discover it when I need it really.
@ujwal_chaudhari Actually, I don't know how big of a product it is. I'm discovering step by step, but I don't make an effort for it. I also use every feature I discover, all of them. Because they are all very useful.
@efesenertr Completely agree, Notion is the best tool for a lot of things :) Note taking, organisation, roadmaps, tables...
Probably in the few here but honestly the Apple Notes app on iPhone, it's just there, everyone knows how to use it, it has enough formatting for me and it doesn't just lend itself to one form of note taking.
Outside of that then probably Bear
@aaronoleary hey Aaron, if you're using Slack, you should probably checkout Poppins.me (if you already haven't checked) its the number #1 New & Noteworthy app on Slack for Productivity!
@aaronoleary @mishra_mayank Hey will definitely checkout Poppins.me. We are launching @websitestoolz on PH today a social proof marketing tool for every online business. do give us a shout.
@mishra_mayank OK Poppins is SUPER COOL! Not sure if I can get my whole team on board or not but I can't believe Slack doesn't have this level of functionality already TBH.
@kristinides Thankyou so much Kristin! You certainly can get your entire team, Manju will onboard you soon! :) Looking forward..
@kristinides @cica_laure_mbappe surely Cica, I'll be more than happy to personally onboard you. just let me know :)
I'm back to where it started for me, Evernote.
I'm a long time user of evernote and a couple years ago got kinda fet up with them and jump ship to different systems, like oneNote, Notion and Roam. All of which are great tools, but not for me for storing information for the long run. Just to much upkeep.
Now I'm quite happy again with the new and improved direction Evernote is taking, the app is speedie, and I can store in away that works for me.
Also I loving the new early acces tasks system to keep track of thing to do and not having to use another app for that.
@coen_brasser What's with two accounts making the same comment? Rather suspicious!
Evernote is okay though
@coen_brasser OneNote is definitely worth using) or maybe this is just a default app that everyone started using and didn't complain but for me it works very well indeed)
@jansenvt I can't see the other comment you mention. Is it possible that you saw it because of a glitch on the interface?
OneNote, Google Keep - for storing information. Also, I like Trello.
Speaking of a productivity tool, I highly recommend you to try AtTrack https://attrack.com/. That's a new unique service, the best one in terms of increasing productivity. I started using it in a new company when switched to telecommuting and I managed to fulfill so many tasks in just 2 weeks that I'd never done in months - working in the previous company at the office.
The punch line is that it helps you to keep your workflow and not to get distracted, in other words - to work at your working time. My procrastination was crushed, finally! Still can't believe it))))))
And btw, it's getting released soon https://www.producthunt.com/upco...
Whatsapp. Especially good for getting files from phone to computer and vice versa.
1. Create a WhatsApp group with 1 friend
2. Kick out friend
3. Pin chat by swiping left in overview
4. Change icon to a notepad, change group name to Notes
@aymericg email i have to open email, type in address, maybe type in subject, go to body and type, might have to go to attach, then browse round my phone looking for a file. Send it. then on my computer go to my email. gmail search is pretty crap. a lot more steps.
Whatsapp - my notes is pinned to the top, so open whatsapp, i just click on notes, type "this is your note" then press send. then its there on my phone as soon as i open whatsapp, same as on my computer. Also if I receive an image from someone else, or a message i can just forward that. or a picture on my phone can be quickly shared. and whatsapp search is better
Many reasons its better than email
I have to maintain various tools now. Currently, I am using Asana and Trello the most. I have to use Notion and ClickUp sometimes as well. I maintain Microsoft Todo personally, which is simple and very easy to use.
Joplin! Free. Open source. Works great on Linux and Mac. With a secure encryption sync to DropBox I can access current notes from any desktop. Markdown. WebClipper. Better than EverNote which I no longer use because of Joplin. https://joplinapp.org/
@nataliekarakina Notion is cool! if you use Slack and do everything w/o switching context, do check out Poppins.me ! awesome tool
Poppins is a great tool if you're using Slack. it has been ranked as #1 productivity tool "new & noteworthy". Poppins helps you capture Slack messages as action items, discussion topics and highlights. The best part is unlike all other apps, you don't switch *Context* on Slack. check it out: Poppins.me
100+ global teams are already using it!!
I use Warmly (https://warmly.ai/) since it lets you take and keep recurring notes on people in Zoom ... we just onboarded @rrhoover too
Notiv is great for meeting notes. It also records, transcribes and summarizes. Great productivity hack. I also use Notion and Slack.
Hands Down! Akiflow is the best tool when it comes to productivity.
All the Notion, ToDoist, Gmail, Google Calendar, Trello, etc., tasks are automatically imported into one panel.
The best part is that you can create tasks in a few seconds using shortcuts, click once to join meetings, and schedule tasks on the calendar using its minimal design.
Basically, Akiflow gets everything to one place clutter-free for clear and organized productivity.
I have tried pretty much all of them, I tried making Notion a part of my toolkit, Bear, Evernote etc. but I always find myself defaulting to Apple Notes. It's just simple, minimal, convenient and across all my devices. It just works!
@marmmaz But Apple notes doesnt get the all content when I try to share any of a web page only the link.
I use Jira for project management, Apple Notes while researching, SideNotes for quick notes and tasks popping-up spontaneously. UpNote looks nice too. It's an intuitive and elegant alternative to Bear or Noto.
