hello everyone and welcome back to the keep productive youtube channel on today's feature
we're going to be going over the best six hybrid productivity apps ready for 2021. now before
we dive in it'll be great to have you here as a subscriber so make sure you hit subscribe today
so you're probably curious what is a hybrid productivity application well i've sort of made it
up a little bit but a hybrid is basically an app that includes two or more of the traditional uses
of a productivity tool traditional uses include calendar notes and tasks but i'm not going to
include a fully fledged wiki tool or database tool like notion or airtable in this video
these are going to be some middle ground applications that you can check out and a lot
of these are from independent providers so let's dive in the first on our list is sunsama now this
is an application designed for elite professionals to manage their tasks and their calendar events at
the moment you have to request access and it's got a pretty pricey fee on it at twenty dollars per
month however it introduced a system of organizing tasks and calendar that a lot of people do like
and some professionals from major companies are actually using it it's also available on mac ios
and android and does have a 14-day free trial if you wanted to check it out again sunsama's been
around for a fair while now and it's one of those applications that if people like it they'll really
invest in continuing to use it number two is note plan three now we actually did a no plan 3 review
very recently and it's a great way as a small personal management hub for managing tasks notes
and calendar in their latest version they've also added backlinks to help you connect up your notes
but this 60 per year application is a really nice way to start taking notes managing your calendar
and connecting it also to ical and apple reminders you can also manage your tasks as well in this
application making it a neat little hub for your activities it's really only apple focused so it's
available on mac and ios and has cloud kit sync number three is focused and this application has
been around for a little bit of time now and its goal is to help you to manage your tasks and your
calendar but most importantly to help you manage your day most effectively it has automation in
it that helps you to plan and schedule your day ahead so you can go ahead and add tasks
import your calendar and what it will do is it will try to automatically help you schedule them
to help you have the most efficient day possible based on the time that you have in your day
so you can use some of the abilities in it to help shuffle that down and base it around the
time you're actually working it's a ten dollar per month price if you're looking for the basic
abilities and i believe it's a little bit more than that if you're looking for some of the
advanced abilities but a lot of people rave about focus dirt allowing them to help organize most of
their work and plan their day ahead number four is agenda notes now agenda notes allows you to
manage your notes and your calendar imagine if bear notes had calendar support it would be very
similar to that now agenda notes actually won a few apple design awards it's a really attractive
looking application and the great thing is it has a free plan and it's apparently free forever
so you won't be limited to how many notes or calendar connections that you make
however some of the more detailed features in the premium are priced at 19 euros per year
that's the last pricing they had it's actually a really well designed application and it's perfect
if you focus mainly on notes and calendar as some of the things that you do on a routine basis
number five is walling now this has been around for a little bit of time and i think i stated
on twitter it's one of the most impressive applications i've seen in many years it helps
you to capture an idea and then bring it into fruition into notes or a project so the perfect
ideation process if you have lots of thoughts and ideas across the day it's got something called
a daily desk so if you wanted to dump ideas every single day in there whether that's clippings or
actual thoughts or to-do lists you can put them all in there then you can use the wizard to help
you connect the ideas to actual turn them into notes or projects and start working on them in
things called walls the concept's really unique and i really like the way they've delivered this
although it's still early days because they're just releasing their ios application now however
you can download it on web and most desktop devices including windows so finally number six
this is get plan and it does have an individual plan but if you're someone that's looking at
sunsama going wow this looks nice but don't want to play the 20 per month fee this will help you to
manage your tasks and calendars and even documents as well there is a free plan for individuals so
you can pretty much get started straight away connecting it with your outlook or google
and it will start bringing in little calendar events and you can start adding tasks it's almost
like this mini hub on web it does have an ios and a mac application and if you did want to use the
integrations it's only going to cost you four dollars on the individual plan so if you didn't
want to upgrade it's not too bad per month so obviously it's something that if you liked it
you can invest in it in a fairly decent rate anyway folks those are some of the best hybrid
applications as we look into 2021. naturally i'll plan to add a few more in a separate video so do
stay tuned make sure you subscribe here on the key productive youtube channel it'd be fantastic to
have you anyway folks hope you have a fantastic day and i'll talk to you all very soon cheerio
you
