What is the best productivity app?
Three productivity apps, in the order to try them. Todoist is the list. Things 3 is the paid list that stays on your phone. Notion is the place for notes and bigger projects.
We choose the apps ourselves. Paid spots are always marked “Sponsored”.
What to try first
Start with Todoist when you want a list you can open on your phone and on the web.
Buy Things 3 when you want that list as a paid app. Use Notion when the work is notes and projects, not only tasks.
