Many thanks!

Oops, sorry, I crosspost into a new thread before I saw Jake’s post (and heard Bill’s shouts of joy all the way across the pond).

I made a Dynalist outline of my “digital toolkit” which is basically an extended version of my earlier contribution to this thread.

I would very much love to simplify things, but each app has some essential feature which I am reluctant to give up. I tried to explain what those are as best I could in the notes.

Interesting and enlightening list. You’ve inspired me to put Dynalist to such a good use… working on it. My list headings will be somewhat different.
Thanks!

Okay, so following my interesting but time-consuming Numbers experiment, I have to admit that I’ve now switched to… DynaList!
I’ve become a reluctant but increasingly enthusiastic user of DynaList, not least because of the generous “free” tier, and second, because of its outstanding tag filtering (vastly superior to everybody else, with the exception of FoldingText and Workflowy - but FoldingText is no longer in development, and Workflowy is a lot more expensive).
It’s facilely easy to put together a GTD system, differentiated by “at” and “hash” tags; unlike other outliners (e.g. OmniOutliner, OutlineEdit), DynaList shows you the tiers above and below the tagged item - and you can edit the tagged view (in notable contrast to Outlinely, which has a “snapshot” tag view). I’m also finding the ability to colour items very useful for differentiating my various areas of activity (Home, Work, Family etc.); of course I could do that using multiple files (another area where DynaList wins over Workflowy), but clearly it’s easier to keep all to-dos in a single file for management purposes. OutlineEdit also does colours very well, of course, but links them to tags.
For my purposes, DynaList is perfectly acceptable on iOS (although it does make me wish my iPhone SE had a slightly bigger screen; but why pay for a new iPhone when your old one is still working extremely well?). It’s great on iPad.
Okay, so the free version of DynaList doesn’t integrate with Calendar, or have a built-in calendar. But I can live with that. Maybe I’ll even subscribe, once I’ve finished my Night of the Long Knives approach to my various subscriptions…
