Long time lurker, first time poster.
Been juggling various note-taking, PKM, task management options for a while now and I've really honed in on some definite likes and dislikes.
Currently using bullet.to (free tier) and very happy with it, but really missing a place for "Daily Notes". Having Daily/Weekly/Monthly/Yearly views is great for pespective and preventing overwhelm (something I struggled with in other systems). Experimenting with gitlab.com/ferreum/pto as a mobile option for daily notes, but no web/desktop option. Drafting this post in Keep.
In the past I've used TickTick, manually creating Daily Notes in quarterly notebooks due to the 100 notes per notebook limit. Not as friction free as I wanted, but otherwise has a LOT of great features and I feel is often overlooked in PKM/Productivity discussions.
Before that was todo.txt with daily-notes in vscode and syncthing. Markor on mobile with the daily-notes.md in the quick note slot.
I initially styled my system based on plaintext-productivity.net. I still use that filesystem for my work files and projects.
Other tools I've looked at that fell short somewhere:
- workflowy
- remnote
- logseq
- amplenote
- obsidian
- super productivity
- checkvist
- joplin
- tana
- capacities
- nirvana/everdo
- there's probably others I've left out
Ideally I'm looking for a single solution that has:
- Android App
- Web Version (PWA)
- cloud sync
- either built-in to the app or 3rd party (e.g. Dropbox, Google Drive)
- I've done syncthing before, but I'd rather use a cloud option since I'd be using a work PC.
- Global Task List
- Capable of task attributes/notation along the lines of todo.txt.
- priority
- status ala GTD/orgmode also fun but not absolutely necessary
- context/list (@home, @work)
- project/tag (+proj1, +proj2)
- completion date (useful for monthly reports)
- creation date not as important
- threshold/start date
- due date okay if there's only one date assignable
- Task notes/description (a major gripe about todo.txt format)
- I regularly take notes on a task either as part of creation to provide addition detail or as I work on it that should be attached to the task and not somewhere else (e.g. daily notes).
- subtasks not necessary
- markdown format a plus with checkboxes
- Daily Notes / Working Memory
- a dedicated place to free write, daily
- outliner preferred over prose
- ability to manipulate nodes
- inline tags
- markdown support
- meeting notes and the like can also go here as a sub-heading.
- also helpful for monthly reports
- Natural Language Processing a plus
- Checkboxes distinct of Tasks
- Not interested in something that requires extensive customization/plugins/query-building to get what I want.
- Data export

I'm sorry for the awful single level list of bullets.
Looks like the indents didn't make it to the final post.
