I’ve been a Todoist user on and off for years now and I’m also part of the affiliate program but I’ve been trying other apps lately. I’ve tried Reminders, Things and Omnifocus. In the end though whilst I do have my problems with Todoist I keep coming back. Here’s some of what I do likeContinue reading “Do I still like Todoist?”

What’s in my iPhone dock
My dock switches around a bit over the course of a month but this year I’m trying to calm things down a bit and stick to a setup. With this in mind I switched up my dock to cover my most used apps. Messages: probably my most used app. Lots of iOS within my friendsContinue reading “What’s in my iPhone dock”
Don’t overthink your to do app
I’ve been taking things back to basics a little with my productivity. I’ve installed Fantastical (mainly to use it’s widgets) and Things 3. I’m trying not to overthink and spend any time messing with productivity apps. I’m not even creating projects anymore to categorise by type I.e. home, finances etc. Things like paying bills andContinue reading “Don’t overthink your to do app”
Choosing apps in active development
Since I’ve moved away from Todoist it got me thinking about why I pick certain apps and how the developer reacts to your concerns (BTW this is one of the areas that has me second guessing my use of Things). For Notes I just use Apple Notes and accept it does most of what IContinue reading “Choosing apps in active development”
Setting up Things 3
I’ve felt overwhelmed with my todo setup using Todoist lately and at the end of the year I’ve stopped even checking it. I’ve decided to not worry about my personal projects and just get the basics (things like remembering to pay a bill or put the bins out). Whilst I don’t enjoy how small theContinue reading “Setting up Things 3”
An Apple Notes appreciation post
Sometimes you go looking for that perfect app and you end up back to the iOS apps that came with your iPhone. That’s what often happens for me with notes. I try apps like Notion, Obsidian and Craft and whilst I appreciate their use case I end up getting overwhelmed and come back to AppleContinue reading “An Apple Notes appreciation post”
Glass is becoming a boring place for photography
I’ve been wondering what’s been off about my recent use of Glass since the introduction of likes (or appreciation as they call it) and Andy nailed it. Since this move I’ve had zero comments on my photography. It’s really changed the way that I’ve experienced the app and I’m now thinking I’ll just leave theContinue reading “Glass is becoming a boring place for photography”
Glass adds a like button
In an announcement yesterday, Glass have added an appreciation option for photos. Initially I was against this and worried that it might be the start of a path to adding like counts and for me at least it’s one of the reasons I moved away from other social services and don’t check notifications on Twitter.Continue reading “Glass adds a like button”
My favourite apps of 2021
I’ve been switching setups a lot over the last year but I’ve been having a think about some of my most used and liked apps that I have been using over the last year. As with my favourite gear these apps haven’t necessarily come out this year. Glass: I love this app so much, it’sContinue reading “My favourite apps of 2021”
Find some calm and focus with Portal
I’ve been checking out Portal for the last couple of weeks, integrating it into my day and I have to say that it’s been helping me with with distractions and focussing in work. The app is an interesting combination of features that are focussed on your wellbeing and letting you escape to different surroundings usingContinue reading “Find some calm and focus with Portal”
