What is Reddit's opinion of Everdo?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I use everdo: https://everdo.net/

​

I tried todoist, and although it is packed with features, it is not streamlined for the GTD workflow. Same goes for ticktick.

​

nirvana was true to GTD, but development has been stagnant for years now.

I'm a GTD user, and I have tried using different cloud and desktop todo apps.

After migrating to Everdo I know that I can truly trust the system, because I'm confident my data (and data of my clients) is private, safe and available, never leaving my PC. The app looks good and is nice to use. Runs on my Linux machine, which is rare.

Plus I don't have to continue paying for SAAS forever, because it's a desktop app.

pros: - Privacy and availability - no internet/cloud dependency - Good UI/UX - Runs on any desktop platform - Mac, Windows, Linux - The free version has reasonable limits - could realistically be used - Updated often

cons: - It's in beta - No mobile apps yet

Also, I have used it to launch it ;)

I want to suggest Everdo. It is a better alternative to NirvanaHQ. The biggest difference is that it is actively being developed whereas NirvanaHQ devs aren't really working on it. I havent tried NirvanaHQ personally but this is what I've read. Not many people know about it but I have been using it and love it because 1) it's lag free, 2) is meant for GTD, and 3) the keyboard shortcuts make capturing everything so frictionless. You can use the GUI but a task can actually be inputted exclusively with the keyboard, no clicks necessary. I haven't found that anywhere else. It's like todo.txt (if you've heard of it) but with better GUI, doesn't require a setup, and has more features (on the way). Here is Everdo website. You can read more about its features here. I highly recommend checking this out. One thing that turns me off is that the free version has a limit to the number of "areas" to 2, active "projects" to 5, and "notebooks" to 5. The pro version costs $60 if I'm not mistaken. It isn't a recurring payment but that is A LOT. I personally don't find the free version and impediment to my workflow so I haven't considered the free version but it might for you. Also syncing between devices us tricky. You can do local sync for free but that only works if you're always on one network. Everdo does provide a paid sync service though (included in the pro version or bought separately). I know it seems bad but it's only $12 a year which isn't much for me personally so I find it worth it.

Check out Everdo as well. Actively developed and i hear it is very akin Nirvana. Pay once for the app, local data and a small fee for encrypted web sync. I am a very satisfied customer.

Org-mode is one of Emacs' two "killer" apps (the other being Magit). I even considered switching to Emacs because of Org-mode, but I think I have wisely chosen to resist.

To my eyes, Org-mode is overkill and seems to cause more problems than it solves. It is a niche tool that requires Emacs, making and it hard to collaborate with non-Emacs users. And often, an alternative choice is better depending on the task at hand: * Working with complex tabular data: > Dedicated spreadsheet apps like Excel or Google Sheets * Note-taking > Vim (you can write in a common format like Markdown or LaTeX) * Calendars/agendas > Dedicated calendar apps Google Calendar * Task management > Tons of apps out there that (unlike Org-mode) have an easy to use mobile version of the app. Personally, I use https://everdo.net/

A quick note regarding Magit: It looks nice, but it's also not a strong enough reason for me to invest in switching to Emacs. A better use of my time for long-term benefit would be to learn to expertly use git from the command-line. Vim also has the fugitive plugin, which has improved a lot recently, adding many of the most important interactive features of Magit. Many thanks to Tim Pope.

>you have to pay for the ability to sync outside your lan - there's no cloud service.

I haven't paid for the premium version yet, but I setup the cloud syncing and it is working fine. I believe the only limitations to the evaluation version is the number of projects, areas, and notebooks: https://everdo.net/benefits/evaluate-for-free/

>Also, the pro version is a pretty expensive pay-once deal. I'd actually be more inclined to pay a subscription fee - then I'd know the dev team is incented to keep working.

Yeah, same here. I'm really loving this product and hope it doesn't become stagnant/abandoned.

I use everdo.net currently. I also used Nirvana before and switched. It did not seem that Nirvana was actively adding new features. Everdo is actively being developed with a responsive staff in its user forums. And I liked the privacy aspects of it -- keeping all of my data where I can control it instead of in the cloud. The user experiences are quite similar. I did not find it hard to switch, but I had not built up a ton of data in Nirvana that I needed ported over. Being worth the switch depends on how you view the cost. I like knowing that I don't have to pay monthly/annually to keep my system running.
