The biggest difference seems to be how they store their data.
Hypernotes stores your data in their database, Obsidian is purely markdown files, so you can feel responsible for your own data. There's no feeling of being in a locked ecosystem.
Hypernotes has a limit of 10,000 notes for the free tier, Obsidian has no limit (the only limit being the amount of storage space on your system).
Hypernotes has limited functionality, Obsidian will have more functionality due to its age and the amount of free community plug-ins available.
I love their website though and I think it's a step in the right direction for Zenkit, I'm just fully invested into the markdown ecosystem at this point and I like having easy, safe, offline access to my data.
Zenkit seems to fit most of your needs... It's like Trello, but more flexible & feature-rich. Lets you create multi-level subtasks, due dates and reminders (but not location based, yet), it's cross-platform, syncs with Google Calendar & a built in timer is on the roadmap.
They even wrote an article about how to use it for GTD (and a really good intro to GTD). Feel free to ping the team if you want to know more about this, they're super responsive.

Totally biased but I love https://zenkit.com (I work there). We use it to track everything at work and I use it for my personal productivity too. Best used when synced with Google Cal if you have a lot of scheduling work :)
I think a good way to motivate remote team members is to create an inclusive culture. You have to make them feel that they are as much part of the team as co-located employees. Being part of a team can really work wonders for motivation.
Zenkit seems to check most of your items, although you'd have to upgrade to a paid plan for the recurring tasks and there are no location/time-based features (unless due date/time counts?). Would looking back on your productivity be more like a reporting thing?
Agreed with /u/PurdueKenny -- Assign different members to a card rather than using a label, since there's only 10 individual colors. That way you don't have to dread scaling up ;)
With Business Class Trello (or maybe just with regular free?), you could do a lot with Custom Fields. I think this blog might be useful? https://zenkit.com/en/blog/using-trellos-custom-fields-to-enhance-your-projects-workflow/
For me, I assigned labels based on task categories if there aren't necessarily priorities to manage. For example, if I have an event coming up, there are multiple people who could, say, process the invoices... so I might have a label that's just "Finance," and anyone looking for Finance tasks to do would have that immediately available (which also means I don't have to worry about them adding new team members, either). If we're doing a project in multiple locations, I'll have a legend set up to note each region.
Have you looked at trello.com/inspiration? Some of it can be really complex, but I did appreciate the opportunity to explore a few other types of boards. Once I started looking, I thought of how my project might resemble a content calendar in terms of varied deadlines and staggered review cycles, and I just copied that board and edited it to suit my project.
Zenkit could work! It lets you create multiple label fields so that you can have one for 'Subject' one for 'Type' (e.g. video lectures or homework). You can use filters to filter e.g. only for Math tasks or only tasks that are video lectures, or both.
The lack of transcripts in the current videos was not intentional - I had no experience making videos for YouTube and wasn't aware of this option at the time. The tutorial videos are a little outdated and need to be updated to reflect some big changes in the app. Re-making those videos is on my to-do list, and I'll be sure to include the transcripts next time.
If you need any help learning your way around Zenkit, you're welcome to check out our documentation or to contact us via the in-app chat. We're always happy to help.
Hiya!
If you want items to automatically have a 'to-do' label applied, click on the label field name (in this case, most likely 'Stage'), then click 'Properties'. Scroll down a bit to 'Default Label' then click inside the bar to select the label that should be applied to all new items.
RE: notificaitons/reminders to check new items a week from today - we don't have a super easy way to support this yet (but it's coming!). Your best bet for now would be to add a date field to the collection called 'Date added' (or something), then select 'Set date to current date by defualt'. You can then set a default reminder for that date field: click on the field name then 'Set default reminder'. (At the moment you can only set a default reminder to be in advance, which isn't ideal in this case, but I've notified our dev team to change this asap. In the meantime you can set a reminder for each date individually for one week later).
You can learn more about date fields and reminders here, and field properties here.
I was going to recommend Zenkit too. I'm already deep into Todoist because it fits my regular day-to-day needs ... but I've got quite a few projects in mind for using Zenkit. I especially like that you can change the view depending on needs of the project: list, table, kanban, calendar, or mindmap. Ambitious, for sure.
I just received a marketing email from them today that they've updated the iOS and Android apps to feature almost all the same functionality as the webapp.
We used to use Trello to run our business - we used it for software development, sales tracking, event planning, as an editorial calendar, etc. I also personally used it to track my training schedule, friends of mine used it to run their website, track recipes and plan their kid's schedules. At work, we found that as our projects increased in scope, and as more people joined our team, it couldn't quite keep up anymore (we now use Zenkit.
Zenkit! Android app is about to launch in the next couple of weeks. It's free, based in Germany (so you know it's held to some strict privacy & data handling laws), is good looking (if I say so myself), and can give you as much or as little complexity as you need.
What about Google Calendar? Free, super easy to use, available everywhere.. I'd also recommend Zenkit - you can share projects, sync to Google Calendar, view all projects in one global calendar, etc.
I was just writing a reply then saw this. Thanks for the recommendation! Just FYI for OA Zenkit - has Kanban lists like Trello, but way way more customizable. It also has 'global' views, so you can see what's going on in multiple projects at once (in the form of a calendar, an 'assigned tasks' list, and 'favorites'). We also have a dashboard coming up (to show upcoming, today, later, and a bunch of other stuff).
For now the best experience is on the web. The iOS app is already available and we'll be releasing a fuller version of it very soon, and a Mac app is on the roadmap for the next couple of months.
I think Wunderlist does reminders without setting a due date. I'd suggest Zenkit as a replacement but you'd have to set the reminders by due date (although the option to do it without a due date is planned). You could use Keep and use a checklist note to track to-dos. It can remind you when you arrive at a certain location or at at certain time.
A bit late to the game here but Zenkit might be a good solution for you. It's super flexible so it can support early projects/individual work like Things3 andOmniFocus (including GTD flows as suggested by others), but as your projects/businesses grow, it can support more complex things like Asana, Trello, and Basecamp. It's got mobile apps (Android coming soon), and we're developing apps for Mac & Windows too. It can be integrated with tons of other apps through Zapier and has direct integrations with Google Calendar, Drive, Dropbox etc. It's also free to use for teams of up to 5.
I might be a bit late to the game here but it sounds like Zenkit might be a perfect fit for you: - It's similar to Trello (we have a Kanban view), but it also supports multiple other views (eg. tables, calendars, etc). - Everything is customizable so you can use it to track customers (like a CRM), projects, inventory, etc. etc. - It's a relational database, so you can connect up related projects or collections of data (eg. customers with orders, projects with inventory). - It has a 'My Team' section that shows you all the tasks assigned to yourself and anyone you collaborate with. (We don't yet have virtual users, but I suppose you could create some dummy accounts for each user).
Personally I use Zenkit to manage my GTD (I work for them, but I'd choose to use it anyway). Zenkit is free to use, you can set reminders, and sync with your Google Calendar. It also has a 'Favorites' feature that I use to manage my contexts (e.g. I mark some tasks as 'Office', then check my 'Office' favorites list to see all of my next actions with that context tag).
I'm also a massive Pomodoro fan, so I try to use it alongside GTD when I can. In my office example above, I find it really easy to work through the list in Pomodoros. So instead of writing down all the things I need to do, and breaking them up into 25 min chunks, I just work through my office next actions list :)
For references I try to use Zenkit, just so I can keep everything in one place, but to be honest, I keep going back to Evernote because I've been using it forever and it already contains thousands of notes.
I'll actually be publishing a blog article about exactly how to use Zenkit for GTD, so I'll add the link to it here later.
Some news are evergreen indeed. Thanks for sharing.
May I share with you one of our articles that talks about it, hope it helps :)

Yeah, that's my plan. Once they finish the open source transition, I'm hoping people who know way more than me can take a look at the code.
Also, does anyone happen to know about Zenkit? It seems good from a security standpoint, but I'm not an expert at all. They say data is all encrypted at rest
Well organized post, says it all !

It's not for everyone, but check out Obsidian. You can use it to relate notes to each other and generate a visual representation of the connections. People often use Obsidian to organise their notes according to the Zettlekasten method https://zenkit.com/en/blog/a-beginners-guide-to-the-zettelkasten-method/
I see No Code, I upvote !

If you're looking for a flexible tool, actually a flexible connected suite of tools, I vividly encourage you to test our solution: Zenkit Suite.
You'll find all you need in here; https://zenkit.com/
Please let me know, we'd love your feedback.
Hey there,
Actually you have to try lots of them to see what suits you best, and maybe take some of each.
One path is using the right methodology, like Kanban.

Hi- I actually think the Zenkit suite may suite your needs. Checkout:
- hypernotes (For personal use)
- Zenkit base, projects, or to do. I think the task app is free.
I remember trying out hypernotes and noticing that I could also include tasks from my task list.
Good luck with your search.
Interesting comparison, helps with making the right choice, indeed.

You should check out the Zenkit Suite (https://zenkit.com/en/). The main goal is to solve the excact issue you're describing. The dedicated To do List app can be integrated into the task/project management or notetaking app. By sharing one single platform, all the project information, from project activities to team comments is instantly available - there's no syncing trouble or missing & duplicated data. All of the apps are mobile-ready. I hope that helps :)
Zenkit recently released Zenforms which placed #1 Product of the Day on Producthunt. (https://www.producthunt.com/posts/zenforms)
They somehow don't seem to stop releasing new helpful apps and adding neat functions and updates to existing ones. At this point I don't need to switch between different apps anymore.. I have everything that I need in one place, completely for free (I use the apps individualistically at work and privately) See plans: https://zenkit.com/en/suite/pricing/
Hey there,
If it helps, you could try a tool we created: Zenforms.
You'll be able to do more things and track your entries.
Have a look, we'd love your comment.
https://zenkit.com/en/forms/
Hey there !
Well I may have a solution path for you. We created a spefici form tool called Zenforms, it may be able to help with your specific.
Give it a try and let us know, we'd like to know if it works for your situations.

DevonThink is a good catch-all database. It's kind of like Evernote living on your hard drive. I like it because it accepts many kinds of immediate capture, and it's super easy to find things. it's very flexible in orgainzing as well.
Hypernotes is a great free app for setting up a ZK notes system. This stores your notes, lets you tage them and also relate them to one another for future use. ZK was invented by an author who used the system (originally on paper) to write a tremendous volume of books and esays.
Well that's an old message but it's never too late, right !

Even if this question is getting old... The question will never get old!
Depends what you call a task and what you cal la project, you should start by defining that first, it will then make more sense.
Get some inspiration from the GTD method, it will help too.
Check also our article on the subject, I'm sure it will help as well !

A good question that is a bit tricky to answer. I agree that Scrum is Agile but not all Agile is Scrum, indeed.
It's like the mindset and the methodology, if you may.
We wrote an article on the subject, hope it will help on that matter:

I find that different kinds fo brainstorming tools get different kinds of results. I mostly use:
- Mind mapping
- Outlining (I use Dynalist and Final Draft)
- Digital Index cards (Scrivener)
- Freewriting (Scrivener or Final Draft)
An advantage of freewriting in Scrivener is that I can go back over the text and split it into separate index cards. Then I can file them into folders so I keep building up a list of ideas for the script, organized by where they occur in the film.
I've also used ZK notes, which is kind of like building your own wiki. I find it's really helpful for world-building. You can do it in Scrivener using Wiki Links (see page 209 in the Scrivener Manual) I've also used a cool free web app called HyperNotes for building a ZK Wiki.
It's a six-of-one thing -- Hypernotes works better, but Scrivener keeps all your ideas in the same project where you're writing script pages.
It really depends on how you "feel" about it, try many of them.
We wrote about the subject in our blog, hope it helps :

The later for tracking requests, it's a chat program that allows turning chat messages into tasks. Since we are a small shop that is what we use 90% of the time. Requirements will come in through the tasks and when deployed we just check them of.
Zenkit integrates and allows managing these tasks and move them along the different states (testing, UAT, production for example) but as I said we found it sufficient to just use chat.
zenkit base and Zenkit projects have Mindmap and Gantt. I prefer base as it's an database too, so you can use it for task and project management and journaling or keeping track of personal stuff too. mind mapping is available in the free plan, Gantt only in the paid plan. Additionally you can connect base with Zenkit todo and see you items in a to do style too.
Thanks!
I'm a big fan of the Pomodoro technique, and had been using it for some time before I'd even heard of spaced repetition. Beyond this, the pickings are slim.
As I'd mentioned in an earlier comment, mnemonics have been marginally helpful for me, specifically techniques like PAO, mnemonic pegs, and the method of loci. I have trouble finding general applications for them, and it also takes a fair bit of practice before you can integrate it well into your study workflow.
I did try maintaining a Zettelkasten (using Obsidian) at the start of the year. Kept it up for three months, but I lost motivation shortly after because it didn't feel like I was getting much out from it, and it was cutting into my Anki card-making time.
I've spent the last couple of years actively trying to find the next "Anki", the next strategy that would transform (yet again) and accelerate the way I learn, but really haven't had much luck (although, as a consolation, it did lead me to discover great websites and communities such as r/Anki).
But maybe you'll find that magic strategy as you go through high school, and then you can tell me -- I think we can help each other out :)
Thanks for your candid feedback :)
- The app is not a native app, we use a wrapper to package the web app for other platforms. We specifically made the decision to use a progressive web app (PWA) system to ensure that all apps are able to offer all the same features simultaneously, and so that we could push critical updates at any time.
- There should be a little X at the top left of any open task that will take you back to the previous page - does that cause the same issue? I've reported your issue as is to our team already.
- Schedule sends the note that you scheduled to your "Daily Notes" section - found at the bottom of the app from the main list of notes. Found in the navigation panel on the left in the web app.
- Navigating through buried pages needs some work, you're right! I'll let our team know to investigate this.
- You can find the desktop apps here: https://zenkit.com/en/hypernotes/platforms/
- Bullet centering - could you please show me an example of what you mean? To me the bullet seems centered in the middle of the text line.. but maybe you're seeing something I'm not?
Thanks again for taking the time to investigate this all thoroughly and share your feedback with us. We'll do our best to fix these things asap!
MS Project predates Agile so it's not surprising that other solutions dedicated to that as a methodology can deliver it better. But that's a long way from suggesting 'it sucks.'
The application of Agile through MS Project can be done as per the following:
https://zenkit.com/en/blog/keep-track-of-your-project-the-agile-way-using-microsoft-project/
And so, as a science student, I think the onus falls on you to start to understand some of the differences in application of waterfall and methodology and what controls/visibility/reporting you want over a project and how those are satisfied by the various tools. It would be useful to understand what forum posts you might have read and get a few bullet points as to weaknesses or strengths they might have already called out.
For example, in the article linked to above, it quite strongly suggests that it's going to tell you how to 'keep track of your project' - and yet almost solely offers up the creation of a backlog and tracking is almost a minor bullet point about moving things through various statuses. And yet Project does offer Agile-styled reports:
Are these are good as those in Jira? Are there limitations? Is the PM more or less informed through either tool.
That's where some good ol' comparative analysis will come in.
I suggest Zenkit for getting tasks done, general productivity, planning, and they have a really great design, which makes working pleasantly. And you can work also offline from the web browser and from their desktop App. They also have another app called Zenkit To Do Zenkit To Do - which you can connect to Zenkit Base. Both are really good to stay productive. I use them for all my university staff - and since them, its really got better!
You can also take a look at their Reddit page r/zenkit. And their support team is really nice and fast!
You can do the same in Zenkit To Do, u/Zenkit.
- Working from the Laptop, Ipad and mobile phone
- Working in the offline modus
- nice backgrounds and interface designs
- working together with a colleague
- Pretty fast support!
- Import from Wunderlist via Zip file - is still there.
- Nice features
Here are some key things that are part of my setup as a time management coach:
- Bookkeeping (Wave)
- Checklists (Dynalist)
- Note taking (mind maps)
- Task/project management - ZenKit To Do
- Virtual assistants - take care of detail work so I can focus on clients. Also, I connect some of my clients with virtual assistants to help them accomplish more
I tried almost every task app for android because i didn't want to go with a Microsoft solution,.and found out Todo from zenkit https://zenkit.com/
It works just as wunderlist and you can also import your lists.
Heya,
We (Zenkit) are releasing a new app next week - Zenkit To Do. It checks all those boxes - free forever tier, can collab with someone for free, has recurring tasks, enough lists, etc. Even has the nice to haves: web version (with desktop app coming soon), a calendar view (accessed by linking to the original Zenkit app, also free), and an API.
Bit late to the party here, but at Zenkit we're working on a little something called Zenkit To Do that should be the perfect Wunderlist replacement. It'll be out next week :) We're not open source, but we're a small, self-funded team based in Germany.
Have you heard about Zenkit? https://zenkit.com/en/alternatives/wunderlist-alternative/
Our free list view does the work pretty good! Also, another task-only app is in the works and will be released soon! Let me know if you are interested :)
After having tested many solutions including Supermemo, Anki, Polar, hypothes, Evernote & Cie, ...
I study mainly from my smartphone so after being bored of using tools with teamviewer only available on PC , i have now simplified my methodology (with tools available on smartphone) using :
- Zenkit - https://zenkit.com/
- a database tool (the most advanced I know) allowing the creation of ultra-personalized fields / forms, including labels, references of child elements, boxes checked, etc.
- Google Photo
- a clouding tool allowing the storage (unlimited) of video / audio, image, etc with sharing link listed in my database tools (zenkit)
- Pocket
- A web pages collecting Tools
Thanks for reading my google trad english
Zenkit is a lot of those things rolled into one (although we don't have direct sync with Apple calendars yet), and we're working on a new app to replace Wunderlist (which is shutting down for good in May). You can check it out here: https://zenkit.com
Zenkit is privately owned and based in Germany. We have no plans at all for getting acquired, and are working on a little something especially for WL users :)
You could also give Zenkit a spin.. we're actually working on a little to-do app that'll be the perfect WL alternative, but for now Zenkit itself can do the stars. Alternatively you could use checkmarks and sort classes by list or label. There's direct import from WL too so you wouldn't need to re-create your lists :)
At Zenkit we're working on a little something made especially for Wunderlist users (to be released end of March), but for now the Zenkit app itself is a pretty good replacement! Available on the web and cross-platforms (even offline) and you can import your existing lists directly from Wunderlist :)
