Guys, there is something poor here. You are ranking apps that you haven't touched in decade. If you are not willing to try maybe you shouldn't mention it, but even more rank it
Yeah, I use a fork of firefox and its way more secure and fast than google. Its a shame people just default to google without thinking of the baggage that comes along with it.
Guys please don't think you're being productive by watching "Productivity Apps 2024, How to be extremely productive" sort of videos. They're very fun to watch and also feel like you are being "productive". It took me an absurd amount of time to get out of this, now I finally realise how stupid I was. Now I consciously choose what I do or see, it is extremely hard to get to this state but you will definitely get there. Make sure you frame reading productivity books, watching productivity videos on RU-vid as breaks / self-care / relaxation...basically anything but the actual work you have to get done. Hope this helps someone
Yes! Information and apps alone are nothing without action! That said, a good app can upgrade your character's stats and help you tackle difficult quests and bosses, so hopefully this helps someone tackle a new challenge ❤️
Yes the only thing these youtubers are productive at is making videos about productivity and how much that translates to making a living or achieving life goals is very very subjective LMAO.
You're absolutely right about that but I **LOVE** to see what other people do with their apps and this rating was totally fun! But thanks for the reminder - I'll set my Productivity Challenge Timer (an aggressive pomodoro timer which keeps insulting me to kick me to do my work - works great for me) and get back to my tax declaration instead of continuing to watch this video!
I've tried so many things and found the more features the farther you get from your work. I gave Notion a solid shot for a long time, and I'm glad it's improved quite a bit. Overall though, everything ultimately just feels like a worse version of a notebook. Every new option for organizing and grouping is just a way to allow you to engage with the product more and pretend you're being productive when you're actually just wasting even more time. I see people with these giant webs and complex tagging systems and wonder how the hell they could ever lose anything if they spend so much time playing with them. They could probably find that one email they added 19 tags to in their sleep. It's like spending a week tackling a messy desk and ending up with even less space because you prioritized buying binders and trays instead of throwing things away.
I genuinely see your point and probably agree. The less you do, the better it is and it's for any app out there because ultimately you are the user. In the end, user ease matters as much as all the features that make it up!
What makes it great though is the customizability and gamification of your productivity. The latter I think is really useful for a lot of people, especially those who might struggle with just getting to work. Some of the features that might make it seem useless I've found to be useful as it makes productivity fun whereas with all the other apps it can feel the same.
I know these kinds of lists are pretty subjective, but I don't think this list is really reliable, since I feel like you don't really have enough experience with each app to really do them justice. Firefox is a shining example, but also a lot of apps in B and some in C, which you only name a (few) characteristic(s) about.
@@josephm2817I absolutely agree with you. I have heard how firefox is the powerhouse of data privacy. the extensions and giving power to the people. 100% with you there.
@@KoiAcademy And should also use figma more, It will never be in same tier as canva. the possibilities with figma is really high. should research a lot more the app. if you making this video 2 years back, I would have agreed on the tier.
I am a first-year Bolivian medical student studying at a private university, I dream of going to do my specialty in another country but I have had problems when taking notes since many of the methods I see on RU-vid are oriented to use from an iPad, (which I don't have) I only have a laptop and my notebooks, so I would like you to recommend a way to study efficiently with only this equipment
This is a great introduction to productivity apps! It’s hard to find high quality content that showcases the range of these products. These days it’s too easy to hear rave reviews about (blank) popular productivity app and feel funneled into it. BrainFM is the exact kind of thing I could use, and I haven’t heard about it until now! I grew up on so much classical music that lyrics get tuned out, so I’ll often work to high energy, “distracting” songs because I enjoy the melody. I also always “need” to be listening to music, even if it’s walking to/from a parking garage… it brings some sort of comfort to have music playing. Not sure BrainFM style music will be my cup of tea, but glad to hear such things exist because of creators like you.
Silly, bad video. Apps haphazardly placed in categories even though they don't know much about those apps. Videos like this harm the credibility of the reviewers.
tbh Microsoft Edge is a solid browser and it's working smoothly on the windows computers and laptops and the best thing about that it doesn't eat your ram up like google chrome does all the time if it was for me i would give it a solid B tier for now but i am using Arc beta for windows till now and it's great for me.
Google calendar a C ???? WTH. Its easy S++ for me. It pulls data from Gmail automatically. Flight times, bus ride, etc. It works seamlessly with the Google ecosystems, I understand usa people are apple guys. But it is the simple and reliable. Doesn't get any better that google calendar.
All these apps are just an illusion of productivity. I'm not a hater, I really loved their content when they used to make content on study and focus.Ngl These apps are overhyped.
While I love the "let's make a tier list of everything we use" idea, glancing over everything Microsoft apart from Edge makes some of the lists simply incomplete. And I'm not saying that I would necessarily prefer any of the Microsoft apps over others.
@@arunjangir5781 I agree. I got sick of chrome and started searching for alternatives last year. Used firefox on and off for a while but found it frustrating because it's kinda slow. I found arc decent and aesthetically pleasing but it can test my patience sometimes with how certain features work on it. Tried edge a month or two ago after ignoring it for all these years and I'm taken aback by how feature rich and fast this browser is. It's not open source but it's the best in terms of everything else.
The major gripes with this video is: 1) rating apps that you've never used; 2) rating everything in a single ratings list, web browsers with note taking apps. 3) left with a feeling that this whole a video was clickbait.
Chrome in A and Firefox in D 🙄, Guys if both of you dont know anything about Firefox, rather than giving it a D, dont even mention it. Firefox is one of the best open source Web browser..
@@KoiAcademyi'm a fan also still thinking why an D its the only non chrromium based browser except safari Why not try it and make a video also Try firefox focus on mobile too
Actually Edge is far better than before. I guess it should be S rank. 1. It is using chromium code base, yet it was far faster and less resource hungry than Chrome, which makes a better choice for laptops. 2. It supports all chrome extensions. 3. it works better with microsoft account. 4. it has copilot baked in. 5. It supports vertical tab (but not as good as Arc though)
why didn't you mention anytype? imo it's one of the best solutions if you don't want to set up loads of plugins just like in obsidian, but also care about your privacy, which notion isn't capable of
@tristen_grant It's a comment section, I'm allowed to have critique on the video. Also, I'm not the one with a RU-vid channel posting videos posing as someone who has something to say about these apps. They are. And they have nothing to say. They know very little about the apps they are reviewing. Because of this, this ranked tier list is of little value to anyone, and the guys in the very most literal sense do not know what they are talking about which is why I left that comment. I am a developer, I've worked with the api's of many off these apps, especially Mondays GraphQL api - trust me. These guys have no idea what they are saying. The title of the video is "These are the best". It's a declaration. It's meant to inform others and guide them to good apps. But its literally a waste. They very literally, in the most LITERAL SENSE, DO NOT KNOW THAT IN WHICH THEY SPEAK SIR. The video, and their opinions, are as useful as you making a video ranking the various soccer teams of Ireland. You know nothing about it. It'd be a waste of everyone's time to make that video yes? That's what I'm saying about these guys. And this video. I can only hope you don't need this much hand holding in other areas of your life. Hope you learned something.
My dudes, you totally lost me on browsers. Firefox is actually great, and if you're doing webdev, you should be using Firefox. Edge basically is Chrome, like it or not. If Chrome is A tier, Edge has to be A tier by default as well. You just don't like it because its Microsoft, and that's pretty biased. And seriously - what makes Chrome so great? It is a major memory and CPU hog. There is nothing sexy about it. It is as plain vanilla as browsers get today. 100% wrong on all accounts.
Putting Firefox in D Tier is criminal. It belongs in A with chrome! Also Edge is based on chromium (chrome) it is a very good browser now, I would put it in B. At least use the software before you rate it, c'mon guys!!!
I see you used the Motion screen recording from our Motion tutorial at the 34:30 mark. Think if you watched the full video you'd be giving it a better rating than a C haha
Placing Figma in the "graphic design" category is like putting a Ferrari and a Cycle in a "vehicle" and grading them. You don't need to put something into a bucket if you don't know what it is. On a side note, the majority of the online digital products you use today are made in Figma.
