When she was in high school she could easily add items to our shopping list, or post notes.

Dont let the title of this post scare you I dont think any digital planning tool could ever be awesome enough to replace my love for putting a colorful pen to some pretty paper to plan my days That said, I DO also love digital tools and apps to help organize, make lists, and plan.

I guess Im a bit of productivity junkie.

Ironically, I might actually get more done if I spent less time exploring new digital tools and creating new paper planners, but then I wouldnt have all this information to share with you.).

As I said before, I dont think Ill ever get rid of pen and paper, but if I absolutely had to, this would be the app I would use.

A few months ago, I majorly injured my ankle and wasnt able to walk for weeks.

I would often be on the couch with my phone and laptop and almost never entered my office, so I didnt want to keep up with a paper planner at all.

I used this app instead while I was injured, and it worked pretty well.

You can type things like every friday or every first Friday of the month starting August 7.

I also love that you can set up tasks to automatically recur at a certain interval only after youve completed the task.

For example, if I want to change my air filter every 3 months, but if I happen to change it late, I still want it to happen again 3 months after I changed it last.

I use tags like 15 min, 30min, 1 hour, so I can easily find 15 min tasks.

You can also use tags like errand, phone call, etc, so you can group together like tasks.

That would be super nice to view tasks from certain projects laid out on a calendar and be able to easily move them.

It doesnt have the tagging option that todoist has, but it does offer some different views, especially on a phone which are pretty cool.

I think it would come the closest to looking like a paper planner while still being digital.

In this way its pretty similar to have a weekly column layout physical planner in front of you.

At the bottom you can make other lists, such as things you want to do someday or a grocery list or whatever.

You can name the lists there, so they can be whatever you want.

There is one month free trial, but you do have to pay a small monthly fee after that.

Its an actual program, not something you log into on a web browser.

There is a free trial but after that you have to pay a one time fee of 49.99 for the program.

That sounds like a lot, but you only have to pay once for life.

The biggest downside for me is that the design isnt quiet as modern as some of the other apps and it seemed maybe a little too powerful.

The only thing I use it for is grocery lists, but I have yet to find an app that does grocery lists as well as it does.

Its super easy to switch between stores, add new items, check them off, and I love that you can put headings in your lists as well.
