No due dates? No way to sort? Missing features
Congrats on the launch! I find the design beautiful. I really like the idea of being able to schedule todos onto a calendar.
However, I am not sure what is the philosophy behind the tasks and projects (lists) not having deadlines.
Sometimes I am given a task that is due a month from now and another one that is due 6 months from now. My gut feeling is to sort my todos and work on what is due at an earlier date. There is no easy intuitive way to do this in the app.
Sure, you can do it manually if you have a couple todos, but in practice I have 15-20 projects going on any given time each with 5-12 tasks. There is no way to sort or tag todos or to easily prioritize a list like that.
Still, I look forward to the app iterating and improving. It reminds me of Things 3 a bit.

This is great
Professional business and weekly planning coach here. I suspect this concept will be revolutionary. It’s very very useful and unique.
Single Day View
On the desktop client, I feel there should be a single day view you can select. As Is; I have to resize the window and sidebar.. very clunky. love the menu bar, love the drag n drop To-Do idea, I just need it to handle things like I live… on a day to day basis
It’s pretty
But I can’t figure out how to use it. Maybe too much focus on looking over function?
Can’t even login
Tried to login but says the servers are too busy. Not sure o want a calendar app that can’t display any information due to heavy use.
Tried again tonight but the only way to start the app is to login using google. Seems rather a silly requirement for an iPhone app.

App won’t load google calendar
I tried it with my work Google email address and the app won’t connect to any of my calendars. Same with my m1 MacBook Pro. Maybe I need to let admin grant? Really wanted to try it. Seems like a very good solution, especially if I can connect it with iOS reminders
Pretty but can’t get my calendars to load
Really gorgeous UI however can’t get any calendars or events to load from my google calendar despite it’s connected… so other than aesthetics can’t do much more than look at it and without my calendars on it - not very useful.
Lax privacy policy & Google-only make this a no-go
I absolutely love this concept! It matches my brain perfectly (tasks-to-calendar), looks slick, and prioritizes integrations over reinventing the wheel.
But the “we try to not store data” lax privacy policy is worrisome for an app that would know all about the time, places, mail, and people in my life. Even worse, at least for now, only supporting Google accounts. I just left my gmail for privacy reasons, so this is sadly a no-go.
Amie team: Please follow apps like Gentler Streak and go zero-trust / maximum privacy. All my events and tasks are already stored locally on my phone. Do that and support iCloud/IMAP accounts, and if love to try y’all out!

Confusing navigation, false advertising
The screenshots show integrations with Things and Notion, but the app offers none of that in Settings. The navigation is highly custom and I’m sure intuitive to the designer but is difficult to understand what many of the features are or how to reach them. Not worth $13/mo at this point.
Pointless
I don’t get it. Google Calendar has more features and costs less. Amie supposedly has a much of integrations but you can’t even see the list unless you pay at least $12.99. That’s crazy! The only integration I see on the free plan is Spotify and Apple Healrh lol. I was interested if it integrates with Apple Reminders. But can’t even see the full list of integrations on the free plan. Onboarding is terrible. There are no docs. Oh during onboarding it told me to add the Amie widget … but there isn’t one lol. I searched widgets for Amie but nothing was there.
