I use the PKM Logseq, a competitor to Obsidian. Knowing how you want to organize you ideas/data beforehand isn’t required. The applications are characterized by having very low friction idea/data entry and retrieval. It’s perhaps 70% of the value of a full Habit Management appĪ somewhat new field that encompasses knowledge management, brainstorming, reference. If I know I’m getting into those I situations, I’ll make VoNo the app that opens with the physical button.Įverdo. Still, I occasionally yearn for VoNo/Braintoss for those times you can only manage to feel a physical button on your phone (driving, half asleep, night operations which viewing a screen would mess up your night vision). I keep Evernote tied to the physical button. So having only a free VoNo voice notes isn’t a problem. In the course of internalizing GTD, my ideas get transcribed so quickly when awake, that ideas that come when I can only use the phone by touch and not by sight don’t come as much. Both voice memo apps require further transcription into Everdo.

But, occasionally you want to do a long ramble in the dark by feel (no screen viewing). Google transcription now operates locally allowing pretty good voice notes directly into Everdo without a network connection. Some Samsung phones allow a physical button to open an app.
