Even though there are hundreds of note-taking and to-do apps, I could not find one that combines notes and to-dos properly. I ended up using separate tools for notes and to-do's. Therefore, I decided to create a product that combines the best of both worlds. A few things make Organizedly stand out: 1. Notes, tasks, and a calendar are tied closely together 2. Drag-and-drop tasks from your todo-list directly to your ca…

Amplenote, ClickUp, NotePlan, and couple of, that I don't remember now. But I registered to your app and it has potential. One quick feedback from my testing: in calendar one can move day task to specific time, but it's not possible to make it again a day task, only in task section one can remove the date and schedule it again as whole day task. Or I just can't find way to do this from calendar view.

There is, actually - Using Emacs with org-mode and org-roam does roughly the same thing. But of course it’s more of a nerds thing, yours is more accessible to the broader public.

I feel like calendars should allow filling spaces other than half hour blocks. I think I understand why the Google calendar might do this. The target usage might be more for events or meetings which fit more nicely in these blocks. For usage outside of events and meetings, I want to be able to paint the calendar at whatever minute and intervals that I like. And if we're only doing 30 minute blocks, aren't we just doing yet another recreation of the king which is Google calendar? Seems like there's a high bar to get people off the king, which is probably also why so many recreations have features to sync there.

I'm pretty sure you can do that in AmazingMarvin.com, they have trial version so you can check that if you care.

Interesting idea of pushing a free early access that will convert to ?$/mo soon. Im sure it'll be affordable but Im actually not comfortable onboarding in the dark. That said, looks like a very interesting project.

I was going to say the same ... there's a positive cost to the user to learn how the service works and have it become second nature (like writing on paper). There's no guarantee that a Venn diagram of your idea of "fair" and mine overlap as we're both (so far) imagining what $? might be.

There are two additional hurdles that keep me from signing-up (well really from entering data since the sign-up is free). My notes might be for my eyes only but there's no mention of being able to export them ... are they really mine then? If there were an export feature, can any other systems use the exported notes?

I love all these Roam Research style tools--always felt this was a really cool idea.

If anyone is interested in open source options, I'd recommend:

Foam - A Roam-inspired tool for markdown note taking--ahem, personal knowledge management (same features as Organizedly)--that runs on VSCode/Codium. I personally use and love it. Syncs across all my devices with Git, and deploys easily on free-tier Vercel, which is a nice way to check my agenda or read a note on my phone. https://foambubble.github.io/foam/

org-roam, for those emacs/org-mode people. I always wish I had the fortitude to become productive in emacs, but it seems it never will happen. https://github.com/org-roam/org-roam

Nice. I got one bit of feedback for this part > We are committed to protect your information. Your data is stored on our secure servers and we use SSL encryption to protect data transmissions. Your notes are for your eyes only. I found it less than convincing. Saying "your notes are safe" because we use SSL and stored on our "secure servers"... I know that something hosted in the Netherlands is probably slightly safe…

Thanks for the feedack! I do agree, notes are extremely personal. We will be updating the security section in the course of this week. We are also experimenting with end-to-end encryption, that most note-taking tools lack.

E2E encryption while having a useful search engine seems pretty hard to do from what I'm understanding.

I switched from Notion to my own electron-based markdown editor just for the peace of mind of not having my notes stored in clear on someone else's server.

Good app and nice execution, some missing things for me:

- I would like to have the possibility to repeat tasks in a predefined manner, like daily or some particular days.

- When I create a task I would like to have the title focused so I can start writing right away.

- Keyboard shortcuts to create/go to each of the different items.

Also it would be nice to have the possibility of dragging the calendar events to extend them both in the same day and along the week.
