Thanks for watching guys!! Currently I’m still using Roam for synthesising. But sometimes use other apps like Amplenote for other purposes like personal CRM and quickly jotting down ideas on mobile. I don’t think it’s a good idea to switch apps whenever there’s a new one (Shiny new toy syndrome). So just use the ones that work for you the best!
Definitely agree with Shiny New Toy Syndrome - stuck with Notion even throughout the Roam hype, it only meant I got more and more advanced in Notion rather than spreading myself thin across too many apps 😅
@@yathprem I've been on the Microsoft stack for the longest time. "Can I do this in my tools" is a pretty frequent thought when basically every productivity blogger lives on Apple+Google+Todoist+Evernote and moved to trendy indie apps.
What features does AmpleNote lack that means you cannot ditch Roam? After all one can synthesise in a plain text editor and import into Roam and then use Roam features for discovery - that's what I do.
Totally get the danger of shiny new productivity app syndrome. But I've been using OneNote for years and it's just too limiting - the tasks are just dumb check boxes, you can't easily connect tasks to a calendar, and all the notes are disconnected, and end up getting buried and forgotten. You had the best overview on TH-cam that I could find, and I think I'm convinced - it has the second-brain bi-directional linking of Roam but with the UI and integration of most popular notes/task apps. Thanks for the review!
Oh dear. This is just brilliant. And I just got started with Obsidian. And I love it but it is tricky to do tasks and time blocking and get to actual execution. Thank you for the overview! 👏👏👏
Thanks Shu. It looks like Amplenote has the features and design that would be intuitive to me and simplify my workflow. You did a great job showcasing that and revealing its potential.
I'd agree, it looks to be just what i need, although I can't see myself switching to it until they make a desktop version. A desktop version is already my preference but its UI also seemed to appear too crowded in the web version and that would most likely be less the case on desktop.
I just found you yesterday and already dug through half of your videos. I’m seriously hooked to your content, as if this is the only channel I should watch on TH-cam. Thank you please keep this up. Your sharing is precious
Good stuff, Shu. Pretty great looking application. I like that the tag system acts like a filing cabinet, yet you can also look at the individual notes and their bidirectional links. That makes a lot of sense to me. I would also miss the side page in Roam though, hopefully they add that soon
I always wished more productivity tools included this feature (introduced by Orgmode I believe) to have tasks in your notes and have them all pulled up in an agenda view. It seems like Amplenote did take some notes from great concepts of the past and put them together in a more modern format. Not a bad idea at all 👍
I definitely second this. I switched from Workflowy to Roam as it was an obvious evolutionary leap. My sense is Amplenote is in the right direction to go that extra step further.
As expected from Shu - a clear and concise explanation of Amplenote and its potential. One quick question ... where does AmpleNote sit in your workflow? You are/were a proponent of RoamResearch! Have you switched to AmpleNote or continue to use RoamResearch?
Hi Shu, with tools evolving always, like first notion was a big deal, then roam became popular, now this seems like having potential, how do you quickly transition between these tools ?
Your videos are 💪. My Comment for Amplenote: Just one video for such a powerful app? The CEO doesn't seem to be customer-oriented, you can't even comment on the video, ask ...
Thanks Shu. Have u try nimbus note before? It looks very similar to this. However, I have a few queries on this 1) Can the tags and notes be manually sort? 2) Does it support table feature (with merge and split cell capabilities) 3) Support programming code which can be autohighlight the keywords with different color 4) Support table (similar to evernote table) with merging and split cells capabilities If the above cannot be achieved, then i would actually prefer nimbus note (a software similar to notion) to Amplenote. Although nimbus note currently could not done 1) and 2), but 3) and 4) it can achieve
Refleshly New to Amplenote and BIG thanks for your video. May I ask, how do you manage a twit from iPhone to get "Capturing content like a share extension, using mail-to-note"? Thanks
I would like to ask if Amplenote supports voice typing/dictation in any way? Very often, when I jot down quick notes, I vioce type/dictate my note into the app. The situation is the same with journaling. However, this does not seem to work on Amplenote. It is a great app, but the lack of this function is a deal-breaker for me. I could imagine it as a secondary note-taking app, where I copy-paste my notes.
Question: Can you work 90-100% keyboard-only based using this tool? Sticking with Omnifocus that I integrate with Sorted3 for now. (And Roam for notes)
Definitely! We frequently consolidate the list of keyboard shortcuts for the app (from note linking, to task commands such as moving and scheduling, to our Quick-open navigation).
One thing that bugs me about Notion is that every table is automatically created as a database. I would like to create an unstructured table, but that's how I send "To-Do's" and questions to my clients, which they love. Can Amplenote do that?
AFAICT most PKM/TM inter-app migration processes keep the content but lose the links (between migrated notes/nodes, eg they link only back to the original). Is that correct? Is this one the same - e.g. from Evernote or Notion ?
This was a great video, but I have no idea what your channel does or what topics it generally covers so I'm hesitant to subscribe. Maybe make this a little clearer somehow.
@@ShuOmi_Official I agree, but it would be nice if they had a 15-day free trial or something. Even a 4 hour trial would be helpful. I've tried so many note taking apps, only to abandon them a week later. I have so many questions. For instance, does it support syntax highlighting for code samples (and/or for the Kotlin programming language in particular)? If so, at what tier? The pricing explanation on their help page (which seems to be out of sync with the pricing plan on their main page) seems to imply that special fonts and font colors are only included on their second tier, but even that doesn't tell me if code syntax highlighting is possible or not, and/or easy or not.

may I know how you add the line that divides the objective and resource?
This is an excellent introductory overview and a model of how others should do it. I especially appreciate the use cases section. Thank you.
Oh dear. This is just brilliant. And I just got started with Obsidian. And I love it but it is tricky to do tasks and time blocking and get to actual execution. Thank you for the overview! 👏👏👏
That Eloquent Chrome plugin for capturing highlights and notes on a page is awesome. Thanks for the recommendation.

Thank you for 1. the testing and 2. comparing it to apps we know for context. Well done.

That's so kind of you! I really appreciate you took your time to write this. Made my day!
Wow! This is an amazing overview not only of the Amplenote app but a sensible workflow for turning notes into action. Thank you!
Thank you Sean! Appreciate it :)
Thanks so much Shu, best (by far) demo of Amplenote I've seen

That’s an excellent review!!! Congrats! Way better than any of the Keep Productive channel.
Thank you! Appreciate your kind words. Keep Productive channel has been always one of my biggest inspirations.
Amplenote is more powerful than I need, but your presentation was excellent. :)
You smashed it, Shu. So helpful, thank you.
Oooo very interesting new app! I'll be checking out Amplenote, thanks Shu! 🤟🏾
Fantastic video! This is a wonderful format to introduce the app.
Thank you David! So glad to hear it!
This is a great video (and timely). I'd love to see a follow-up video that dives deeper into Amplenote. Any chance that is on the horizon Shu?
I definitely second this. I switched from Workflowy to Roam as it was an obvious evolutionary leap. My sense is Amplenote is in the right direction to go that extra step further.
Me too. I subscribed to ypur channel. Perhaps you should get in touch with the developers and learn about whats coming soon.
I am sold! Great video! Of all your videos, which one is your favorite? What do you do for a living to use this software? Thanks again!
As expected from Shu - a clear and concise explanation of Amplenote and its potential. One quick question ... where does AmpleNote sit in your workflow? You are/were a proponent of RoamResearch! Have you switched to AmpleNote or continue to use RoamResearch?
I mainly use Amplenote for project planning and task management these days. Anr Roam for creative work like writing!
Hi Shu,

Very high quality video, congrats!
Is this a sponsored video or do you genuinely recommend this app? I would rather know before trying the app myself. Thanks
Thanks for the tip on eloquent 👌

Shu! If you know how to install plug in like ampleAi you can help me.
Please
Refleshly New to Amplenote and BIG thanks for your video.
May I ask, how do you manage a twit from iPhone to get "Capturing content like a share extension, using mail-to-note"? Thanks
on the tasks view there is no button for creating a new task, does that mean i need to creat a new note or open an exting one one to create a task?
I would like to ask if Amplenote supports voice typing/dictation in any way? Very often, when I jot down quick notes, I vioce type/dictate my note into the app. The situation is the same with journaling. However, this does not seem to work on Amplenote. It is a great app, but the lack of this function is a deal-breaker for me. I could imagine it as a secondary note-taking app, where I copy-paste my notes.
Interesting features - how is stack evolving? Are you no longer using Roam?
How did you achieve the look and feel of your setup? I like the black background
Dark mode is a feature under the settings menu.
Is there a way to export notes from Readwise?
Hello Carlos! Amplenote imports from Markdown, so you can manually import your highlights using the Markdown export feature provided by Readwise.
Question: Can you work 90-100% keyboard-only based using this tool?
Sticking with Omnifocus that I integrate with Sorted3 for now.
(And Roam for notes)
Definitely! We frequently consolidate the list of keyboard shortcuts for the app (from note linking, to task commands such as moving and scheduling, to our Quick-open navigation).
Hope you will do an extensive review on Craft ❤️🙏
Okay! I'll look into it! Thanks for your suggestion :)
One thing that bugs me about Notion is that every table is automatically created as a database. I would like to create an unstructured table, but that's how I send "To-Do's" and questions to my clients, which they love. Can Amplenote do that?
Hey Alexander! Currently no tables in Amplenote.
Just signed up. We've been looking for something with better task management and easy sharing. 👐🏾
Does Amplenote support backlinks?
Can you have multiple tags - for example, Projects/TH-cam and Projects/Collaboration?
Yes you can☺️
AFAICT most PKM/TM inter-app migration processes keep the content but lose the links (between migrated notes/nodes, eg they link only back to the original). Is that correct? Is this one the same - e.g. from Evernote or Notion ?
AMAZING VIDEO!!!
Totally it's a task note app.
Does publishing a note also publish any notes that it is linked to?
Hello Mark! We don't automatically publish linked notes yet, but it is on our radar to implement bulk sharing and publishing.
This was a great video, but I have no idea what your channel does or what topics it generally covers so I'm hesitant to subscribe. Maybe make this a little clearer somehow.
I was very interested until I saw the pricing model, ouch.
The pricing is alright though, no? Much cheaper than Roam and about the same as RemNote, Evernote etc.

Amplenote is not free.
Nice app. Subscription..... pass
No table, no embed functions, iOS app has many bugs
