Key features
Amplenote
- Jots, Notes, Tasks and Calendar
- Four connected modes take an idea from a quick jot to a note, a task and a slot on the calendar. All four are available on the free plan.
- Tasks inside notes
- To-dos live in the notes they come from, can recur at flexible intervals or stay hidden until later, and can be marked urgent or important.
- Calendar sync
- Pro and higher plans connect Google, Outlook or Apple calendars, either importing events only or also publishing scheduled tasks back to them.
- Bidirectional links and tags
- Notes link to each other in both directions, and nested tags form a hierarchy that can be browsed like folders.
- Vault Notes and publishing
- On the Unlimited plan, notes can be encrypted with a password that is never sent to the servers, or published to the web as pages.
- Offline use on any device
- Mobile apps keep working offline in new or cached notes and sync later. Computers use the web app, an installable PWA or the desktop app on Pro.
Todoist
- Quick Add
- Capture tasks in natural language as they come to you, including recurring due dates and reminders.
- List, board and calendar layouts
- Switch any project between a list, a kanban board and a calendar. The calendar layout needs a paid plan.
- Filters, labels and priorities
- Saved filter views pull tasks from across projects: 3 on the free plan, 150 on Pro and Business.
- Shared projects
- Share a project to assign tasks and comment on them. Personal projects allow up to 5 people on every plan.
- Team workspace
- Business adds public and private team projects, folders, roles and permissions, and shared templates.
- Ramble and Task Assist
- Ramble turns spoken thoughts into tasks; free accounts get limited sessions. Task Assist is included from Pro.
