Lots of competitors in this space it seems. I had a similar idea, a todo list + calendar app listed below, but it's interesting to see ideas converging on the idea of timeboxing your tasks. Ever since Cal Newport wrote Deep Work, it seems like everyone wants to get on the deep work productivity train. I wonder who will win eventually though. - www.getartemis.app (disclosure, my app) - www.akiflow.com - www.oltra.io -…

I've been using Sunsama for the last few months and have really enjoyed it, I was somewhat surprised not to find it in a cmd+f on these comments.

All I want is a way to add tasks as items in my gmail inbox just like Google Inbox had, before they killed it. Does anyone make a Gmail plugin that adds that? I don't want to use a whole different email client or add tasks to a separate task-only list off to the side.

Just email yourself?

I gave this app a spin today and I really like what they're going for. Unfortunately, I use Fastmail for email and calendars so I can't take advantage of one of the key features. I hope they add support in the future. It's a fresh take and I'd be willing to give it a serious try if I could sync my email and calendar!

https://www.routine.co/ is another one I've seen in the space

A decade or so, I did _everything_ in emacs. I was never more productive and I attribute it partially to the sort of flow that Legend seems to be trying to make. Smartphones are what killed it for me. As I switched to using my smartphone + tablet more, it broke my emacs setup. I'm still trying to get it back.

iOS has a couple decent ssh clients, if you are into command line stuff. Blink and Panic both seem fine, although I'm sure I'll get some better suggestions now as that is the inevitable result of publicly airing an opinion on an ssh client. :)

There’s also Beorg to natively access org-mode files on iOS, but I’ve not spent enough time to get comfortable with it, so I mostly don’t bother.

Yeah I do that. It's a pain for small UI reasons, like you can't snooze it before you send it, you can't edit it after you send it, it requires a bunch of clicks and waiting, etc. It's close to what I want but it could be a lot better. That's exactly what Inbox fixed.

Slight typo in the parent comment should be www.getartemis.app, an extra "w" snuck in. I have now knowledge of the product but was curious to see it.

Ironic that an extra "w" snuck into your post :) "I have now knowledge"

I wish you had written "intow your post", such a missed opportunity of recursive irony :)

As someone in dire need of a solution like these, can you help me understand how they might fill my requirements? 1. Completely offline use 2. No separate accounts 3. Stable interface 4. Straightforward payment model I'm really looking for a next-generation Thunderbird, not some weird ML or smart task aggregator. Honestly, just make iLife 2.0 while your at it. Just don't hold my hardware hostage this time please.

https://agenda.com fit the bill for me. Offline use (though can only sync today through iCloud and Dropbox, I think, which sucks - but you can sync folders manually), pulls calendar from your system integration, simple payment. You can link your daily agenda items/notes to calendar invites. Though it does not connect to email, at least today, which was OK for my use cases.

Agenda is super interesting, especially their payment model.

For some reason I don't end up using it but I have paid for upgrades once or twice after realizing that, voluntarily :-)

vi todo.txt the same file served me well for over a decade. :)

Stupid question, but what do you do from your phone? I would like to put my grocery list in the same system as the rest of my notes/todos.

On Android, there's Markor. It supports todo.txt, and I use Syncthing to keep it synchronized with my various devices and computers.

Is there a good screencast series about people doing stuff in Emacs? Not like a tutorial like "press C-x" etc. I just want to know what is possible, or what people mean by "I did _everything_ in emacs".
