Thanks for this list!
I know about Obsidian and use the free version. But admit to still not having taken the time to learn it more to get more out of it.
QUESTION - For Centered - I see they have both a 'free' and 'paid' version. With some apps, like Obsidian, you can still get a great deal with the 'free' version and what you need. With other apps, often the free is more of a taste but isn't worth using unless doing the 'paid' version. Is Centered's free version robust enough? (And I say this even after looking at their website list of what both offer.)
Thanks for letting us know about todometer! And thanks for creating it! I'll check it out.
Great question, you can totally use Centered for free and get the full experience you might want!
Great list!
I haven't yet tried Obsidian, but I am a huge notion fan, and about a year ago discovered coda.io
It was a game changer for me and took my organization to another level. It's looks very similar to Obsidian. Which means I'm definitely going to have a look!
That so for the list;
Thanks for sharing this! I agree with Notion loading times, that's why I haven't fully utilized it. But I still use it for project management. I use Obsidian too for the rest and am curious how you handle projects there. Would love to use Obsidian for everything. Do you use any plugins?
You might like the Kanban plugin for Obsidian!
I personally use Templater and Dataview the most, but also the Tag Wrangler for organizing things!
Thanks for taking the time to respond. Will check these out!
Thank you for sharing your list!
Thanks for sharing it! You can check logseq.com as it is a really nice companion tool to Obsidian.
One thing I would add to this list is nighteye.app to enable dark mode on nearly any website on the web.
Last but not least I would add blockzilla.app that helps me remove all promoted tweets and sponsored posts across social media. It is especially helpful for LinkedIn.
Thanks for sharing an interesting post! Will try out the todometer soon! I like to use task management software to manage my tasks as well. I have yet to try many tools, but so far, I like Todoist and Quire.
Started using todometer today, and its really nice! I was always somehow „overwhelmed“ from apps like Todoist etc., even though they‘re not really complicated or anything those apps never felt focussed enough on the main reason why I‘m using some tasks app - quickly taking random tasks per day that I need to finish (or maybe not).
I dont want to catergorize every task or spend more time writing and structurizing it down than the actual execution of the task would take (yeah thats probably a bit exaggerated, but at least it feels like that…).
So props to Todometer, works pretty good for me! :)
Thank you! I agree completely with the way you think. I'm glad you like it!!
Obsidian, all the way. I found it worth supporting them by paying for sync. I like having my work Mac sync'd with my home linux and having it available on my android phone (yeah, not a very homogeneous setup, I get it). Given how much I code in vs-code, live in Github and write in Markdown, Obsidian became a no-brainer.
Thank you Cassidy for a great collection of tools.
I am using Obsidian as well but the rest are new to me.
All looks very interesting I want to try too!
I like the idea of your todometer! I've been thinking about this kind of idea a few days ago, some visualization of today's productivity can be encouragable. Good job!
Obsidian user! I also practically live in Obsidian. 😅
I'll have a look at your theme..
I use taskito for my todos.
I'll have a look at the ones you've shared. Thanks
Really curious about Obsidian
You should give it try... it's features make it such that I don't need that many other apps
Nick Milo has this great playlist that helped me figure my way around it

Tanks for the valuable information
good share, thank you cassidy
I'm also writing a similar-ish post but on VS Code 😂🙈
Thanks for valuable information about productivity apps for 2022. I read your information. Nice info.
Thank you! I hope that you and your loved ones are safe and well. PS: Am a bit partial to Notion but seems Obsedian does a great job too!
Good!!
These 3 are really interesting!
A few days ago I wanted to make an overview of all more productivity tools I know and organized them by categories. Such as code writing, task management, knowledge collecting, time-tracking, keeping the focus. Then explained each of them.
➡️ Productivity tools
Hope this helps someone to pick their favorites ✌🏽
For text that I want to reference later, I use "Paste" (pasteapp.io/) - where I type command-shift-v and I can get text I've copied in the past, and organize copied text into categories for later reference. For ex.
bashandGithub-Actionsandgitare some of mine. InbashI'd put useful bash commands that I want to remember later.For longer working notes on a problem, I use Evernote for daily notes, with links to pages for each work issue - ex. on Mar 23, 2022 I worked on JIRA-1234. This keeps the daily mash of what I did more organized.
Thanks for the list, When i was looking for a markdown editor Obsidian was the first suggestion for everyone, However it seemed a little complicated to me with stuff that i don't need (especially that i'm not that much of a writer :-) ). Joplin does it for me.
I would also recommend f.lux, Can't live without it because blue screen is a no-no for my eyes
Great list i'm using Obsidian and Centered.
Obsidian FTW!
Somehow when I find a new productivity tool, one of the things that came into my mind is, ok this tool is nice but, how can I have my old data into it?
Is this something that you face?
I do! That's actually why I really liked switching to Obsidian. They have a variety of importers and since it's all local + markdown, I know if I ever switch, it's a standardized format!
use notion :)
The load times are too slow for me! I allude to that in the article.
add xournal++ to it for note making
Great post
