The only tool you need to organize your life

This is hands down one of the best tools for organizing your personal and work life! The workflow from jotting notes, to organizing notes, to creating to tasks, to scheduling tasks. It all just works so well once you take some time to work with it.

Also something about the app just feels very speedy, the app is responsive always and just works very smoothly.

I love to use this for journaling, writing down all kinds of notes, and especially for managing my to do lists. I used to use Apple notes/reminders, I tried Evernote, but this tool beats them all. It does not get enough attention for how powerful it is.

Overall better than a lot of other note apps

I love everything about this app. However, there is one minor thing that can be added or fixed. The note filter for the widget stopped working a few updates ago. Also, it would really help if the widget could show multiple notes instead of only 1 note that has tasks only. OneNote and Apple native Notes app both have the feature of showing up to 5-10 notes in one widget.

Capture & Share Between All My Devices

I use Amplenote to capture information and share it with my desktop, laptop, iPad, and phone.

Iโ€™m very happy with this app!

Amplenote used to be the greatest

The integrated 'Idea Execution Funnel' is a genius move, but there's no support for using Amplenote with *agentic* AIโ€”i.e., your own desktop agent that can already help with your email, calendar, files, etc. That effectively makes the user an attention-&-calculation *slave* to the contentโ€”having to manually micromanage everything is extremely mentally taxing and time-consuming. Providing an interface (e.g. via API, CLI, or MCP) for agents that already live on your desktop and can already touch most of your tools would totally solve this huge gap in usefulness, but so far Amplenote's devs have shown no interest or commitment in supporting this pivotal advancement! Highly **counterproductive**.

Smooth implementation of an opinionated system

The Amplenote system is not quite like anything else out there. It is not infinitely customizable and instead implements an opinionated model of one way to balance high-level goals with day-to-day implementation. The system may not be for you! (Iโ€™m not 100% sure it is for me.) Nonetheless, the app is a solid implementation and deserves its rating.

Favorite not-taking app

Love the combo of notes, tasks, and calendar

The best

I love Amplenote and they are way better than other similar apps.

App sux

I tried adding a task to a my calendar, it didnโ€™t work, it kept adding it to โ€œjotsโ€ whatever that is. Too fiddly to use, the iPad interface sucks, it does everything except the thing I want it to do. Why does adding something to my calendar add it to everything except my calendar?

Currently not usable

Unfortunately the task+tag view seems to be broken. Tasks are cut off in the list when selecting a tag. Sometimes they reappear when switching tags, or when switching to and from the completed view. Even when sometimes showing, expanding the task leaves it hidden behind an invisible panel. Tasks view being the reason I wanted to use it, itโ€™s not currently usable.

Accessibility fail

I really like this tool โ€” the underlying functionality is way better for my task management style than anything else Iโ€™ve found. The learning curve is on the steep side compared to most other options (and this is coming from someone who loves OmniFocus), but the big fail for me is that the main user interface isnโ€™t compatible with many of iOS accessibility options. For example, if you use the iOS accessibility options to increase text size beyond the typical range, the main menu becomes
unreadable โ€” in my case, showing me only a horizontal slice of the top 20% of each word. There are enough things like this that itโ€™s clear that accessibility hasnโ€™t been a priority in UX work for them, which is super unfortunate โ€” after all, most disabilities come with a LOT of extra info and tasks to keep track of, often while sapping the executive function, energy, and/or available time to do so.

Unable to delete

I would like to remove this app as it is too expensive. Iโ€™m not able to do that. Please assist in removing this application.

Want to like it but damn itโ€™s full of bugs

Was excited to start using this app but in the first 5 minutes I experienced 3 bugs:
- YouTube tutorial in-app player is broken
-when writing in an open task, if I let a word auto-correct it will end my line there and throw my cursor into the next task
- when I tried linking in the task by typing [[, a search bar came to the screen but was not interactable in any way

I was just following your introduction to your app - how can this be so bad? Has no one looked at this at all??

Game Changer!! Notes quickly become Tasks, Scheduling, and Calendar

Amplenote has been incredible so far.
I work in medical device sales and Iโ€™m also a startup founder, so Iโ€™m constantly wearing a lot of hats. Having a reliable system for capturing notes has always been a challengeโ€”most scheduling tools are terrible for note-taking, and most note-taking apps donโ€™t integrate well with time-blocking, task management, or calendar planning.

Amplenote finally brings all of that together. Being able to start every idea in Jots, then seamlessly turn those thoughts into tasks, events, or follow-ups, has been a game-changer. Over the past month Iโ€™ve had a genuine shift in my productivity, and Amplenote has played a big part in that.

Highly recommend.

Awesome

One Productivity app for all. Perfect for my current task and usage with the best price to suit my budget and use case.

Not working

App has been great up to now. It is no longer working, it just freezes when I open it.

Worth the (relatively short) Learning Curve

I came to this app straight from the most convoluted of all Notion setups. I had reminders for different subjects in (donโ€™t judge me) 3 different apps as well. My calendar was in Google calendar, having no desktop app bugged me to no end, and I was looking for an alternative for my PKM. Amplenote has replaced all of it. I wonโ€™t lie and say thereโ€™s no learning curve, but it follows the general flow of most tried and true productivity models (BASB, GTD, etc.) especially if you tweak your tag setup a bit. I know where the info I need is. Iโ€™m pushed to make more tasks and less useless note piles. Itโ€™s using literally HALF the memory on my laptop that Notion would take, not to mention no longer needing to run a separate task list at all, and the phone widget is awesome to boot. Community plugins are well made, responses to feedback and community voting boards help prioritize new features. The developers genuinely seem to care. It takes some learning up front, but not as much as you think. Give it a try.

Fix the widget

Good app. Widgets donโ€™t work since upgrading to ios26 and it takes away a fair amount of the functionality for me. Would be a 4 star if that was fixed.

Additionally, not being able to automatically make events that sync to my calendar is a huge issue.

Great app but the new upgrade has caused bugs

The latest update on iPad has caused m as jor glitches with the Task pane, not showing G all my tasks or cutting half the info off and adding dates is painful, as the Calendar glitches and selection I see hard. Please test on all platforms before issuing updates.
