I feel like I’ve tried just about every “todo” or productivity app under the sun. What I’ve always found crazy while using them is the sheer number of tutorials you’ll find on “how to create a productivity system” using all these apps.
This always led me to wonder: if these were “productivity” tools, why do you have to “invent” (or learn from one of the smart people on YouTube) how to actually become more productive with them? Shouldn’t they do that automatically?
This resulted in me always wasting more time than I was saving while using these apps and tools.
This has led me down the road of planners and notecards (yes I even designed my own set of those) which were great because they actually had a tactile, simple methodology I could use—however—they lacked any sort of automation.
Pen and paper has its benefits, but the downside of course is that it’s as manual as you can possibly get.
It was this that led me to create Radarist.
In essence, I blended the super simple methodology from the planners and notecards I’ve used with a clean and easy-to-use digital UI.
Finally there’s a “productivity” tool that helps you get more done—rather than one with a plethora of tools that require you to figure out how they’ll make you productive.
I’m just a solo dev who made this to help managing the various areas of my work and life—hopefully you find it useful as well!
