I think after using so many of these organization apps, I used plaintext note taking apps, sublime text, trello, more structured note taking apps (evernote, Agenda for Mac, etc), Todo apps (so many of them, incl pomodoro style), then went back to trello and I think I'm staying there.

Everybody is different, and Trello is a great application (I use it for longer-term planning with my partner), but after starting to use Pagico, I'm completely sold. Being able to plan things as projects, and putting them to a unified or independent gantt charts is a great way to visualize daily and long term load.

  Pagico looks interesting, would you mind saying a few more words on what you like about it?

    Of course. First of all, Pagico is really cross platform. It has clients for macOS, Linux and Windows, plus iOS (I use it on macOS, iOS and Linux). It allows me to group the tasks either in a free floating Inbox, or in their respective projects. I can combine all these projects' tasks in a single view, or see them in their independent contexts. This allows me to see my whole workload (private + professional) and plan my life accordingly, even for future. Every project can have its lists, notes, files and schedule. This allows me to take small notes and track my projects and carry these notes everywhere. Hence, I don't lose my mental state about a project. It also tracks project progress and your working patterns, like which days you're more active on the projects by analyzing your activity on said project. Tasks can be added pretty quickly while planning, even with some NLP support. "Do this. Next tuesday" automatically scheduled, and the date string is automatically stripped. NLP is done locally, on the app. You can export these notes as HTML pages if you want, but I generally move notes to Evernote or the prıoject's public Wiki, if I chose to close the project, but that's not a given. Sometimes I just leave them in. Pagico provides a sync capability through its servers, yet you don't have to use it. It can work nicely over Dropbox for example, but mobile clients won't be able to sync with it. The application is designed very neatly. Actually, it's just a web view with a dedicated/specialized PHP server running as a different process. It's much more lighter than Electron, yet it works very well. The developer is also very responsive to bug reports and feedback. They are developing the thing for a very long time and they know what they're doing. The app is not perfect, of course, but it works very well for what it does. I bought it during pandemic, and it's now my de-facto planning tool. However, I still use Trello for even-longer term planning and Evernote for "eternal" documents. All three works pretty well for me. I spend maybe ~10 minutes every night to plan for the next day, and I'm happy. I also want to note that I don't use many of the collaboration features of the app, and it has much more features than I actively use.

      Thank you! Really appreciate that. I’m looking into Pagico now and reckon I will trial it this week. Hadn’t heard of it before.
