In the end, I decided not to renew my subscription and opted to move all my meeting notes back Evernote.Ī few of you long time readers might be thinking, “But wait a minute, Andrea. Unfortunately, those features don’t have any definite release schedule, and with my premium subscription up for renewal, I wasn’t sold on paying for a note taking app I was only using for meeting agendas when I already pay for similar apps. In fact, they already have a few solutions up their sleeves to solve the problems I mentioned above. Now before I continue, I want to say the guys behind Agenda are great. By tagging the reminder, you could then create a saved search based on that tag to see any outstanding reminders, which is more work on my part. The suggested workaround in their forums is to not only create a reminder, but also add a tag to it such as #todo. If you’re a Things user, like myself, any imported reminders are immediately deleted from the Reminders app after they’re imported to Things, so for my use case, they’re basically lost in Agenda. You can view dated reminders within the calendar view in the sidebar, but undated reminders only reside within the note. Processing a task properly requires additional thinking, which is why it’s often a separate step in a planning process.Īnother important but missing feature is a lack of any way to view all of your outstanding reminders in one place inside Agenda. You might need to reword it or you may need to spend time thinking about when to tackle it. You may not have all the details of a task up front.It’s often best to capture action items quickly and worry about adding in the details (due dates, sorting them, etc) later so that you can maintain your focus on the meeting.In my opinion, there are two problems with this line of thinking: When creating a reminder in Agenda, the developers’ expectations were that users would want to process the details of task immediately. Unfortunately, in practice, the process wasn’t nearly as seamless as I hoped. When the makers of Agenda announced they were adding support for Reminders, I immediately began envisioning a future where action items were seamlessly captured and imported into Things via its Import from Reminders feature as I took meeting notes.
