Amplenote

Amplenote combines notes, tasks, and calendar into a single workspace, with bidirectional links between notes so tasks can live inside your writing and still show up on a daily jot or agenda view. It bills itself as a tool for people who want their to-do list and their notes to actually talk to each other, rather than living in separate apps. An AI writing assistant is built in for drafting, summarizing, and editing text without leaving the note.

What sets it apart is the task scoring system: instead of manually sorting a flat to-do list, Amplenote asks you to rate each task's importance and effort, then calculates a score that changes over time as deadlines approach, so the app tells you what to work on next rather than leaving you to eyeball priorities. It also supports public note publishing, so a note can double as a shareable page or simple website without extra tools.

It's aimed at people who've outgrown a basic notes app but don't want the overhead of a full project management suite: writers, researchers, and anyone juggling daily planning alongside longer-form notes. The combination of backlinking, calendar integration, and built-in task prioritization is the main draw over competitors like Notion or Obsidian, which typically require plugins or manual setup to get similar task-scoring behavior.
