I sometimes find it hard to grok my scheduled activities and choose appropriate next actions without being able to see a calendar view of what’s coming up.Ī simple example is an event like people’s birthdays or meetings that require some preparation in the days before. There’s no need to copy anything back from calendar (although it might be beneficial to read something from CalDAV to check if data is there already - not sure how different people would implement it).įor me, calendars and calendar integration are principally about visualisation. Technology-wise, I only need one-way sync, when everdo is posting tasks into the calendar (calendar entry header = everdo task name, contents are not required).
I prefer not to have notifications outside the calendar program of my choice because it’s better to have a single source of notifications. Good example of what I need is birthday list sync - I’d like to have everdo as a source of truth, but I also like to have notifications/reminders. I need my scheduled tasks, tasks with due dates et cetera date-related go to CalDAV provider of my choice - just because dates belong to the calendar, and it’s a double job, to first include the date into everdo task, and then also add the same info into the calendar. I’d like to refresh this post and mention my own use case (which may or may not apply to any of you). Added bonus: multiple widgets for multiple quick adds. In the desktop app it could be context aware and likely only add the reminder date and time when the Scheduled action is selected, on mobile it could be done via widget configuration: add widget, in widget settings choose default action, if action is ‘Scheduled’ show default reminder time. I do appreciate that this would likely have to be post calendar integration. As I’ve already configured the widget to add a Scheduled item that will remind me at 10am the following business day to do this, the next day I get a reminder and actually do it.
Me: grab phone, tap Everdo widget, quickly type (or ooh gasp!: dictate) ‘call dentist’. (I tell myself this each evening after the dentist has closed, but get busy the next day and forget again).
The experience: Me, walking to car: 'ooh I must remember to book a dentist appointment tomorrow. 2Do has this mechanism and it’s great for quickly getting something ‘remembered’ without it going into the ever deepening abyss of todos. Apologies if this is the wrong location or if it has been mentioned before, but something I’d really use is a quick add feature with a default reminder time.
