We want to be as productive as possible all day long. Productivity apps can help you with that, but some of them take up a lot of your time. Amie is different. This cheerful app helps you plan your workday better by combining many different things. Which things exactly? What makes this app so popular? And what can you do with it? We’ll tell you.

Meet Amie: the new all-in-one productivity app for iOS, Mac, and the web. At its core, it’s a calendar app. But there are already tons of those out there. Microsoft Outlook or Google Calendar, for example. Chances are you’re already using one of those apps and are pretty happy with it. So what makes Amie different from all those other calendar apps?

The idea behind Amie.

Dennis Müller, the founder of Amie, wants the app to be a place where you can go to remember your life. To know what happened at a certain point in the day and what you were doing. And he wants to help people plan and do everything in their lives. Not just their business appointments, but also those with friends and family. Very smart, now that we work so much hybrid, where our business and private lives increasingly overlap.

Your agenda as a social network.

Müller sees Amie as a kind of social network. He thinks that sharing calendars can help people connect with others and arrange things more easily. For example, by giving your friends access to your calendar. They can then schedule something without your permission. This way, you can discover new things to do together more quickly. A calendar app is no longer a business tool, but part of your daily life. It tells you where you need to be and later something about the time you spent there. How cool is that?

Time blocking.

According to many smart productivity experts, time blocking is the best strategy for being productive. And the best way to make sure you get something done is to put it in your calendar with a deadline. Amie encourages you to do this. That’s why the app is a combination of a calendar, to-do list, diary and email server. You have lists of tasks in the left sidebar. You drag those tasks to the calendar to give them a time slot. This makes each activity or event a separate task. And you can check them off all day long.

Cleverly designed.

Amie looks clean and tidy. Because you don’t see a lot of the metadata that goes with a calendar. Think of data that describes when a task was created or updated. In addition, you can easily share your calendar with whoever you want. And quickly view the calendars of your favorite contacts via a kind of speed dial: really handy. The mobile app has a handy split view by default, with events at the top and tasks at the bottom. And you can swipe up or down to see more of something. Nice.

This is how Amie makes you more productive.

Amie is not your standard productivity app, but a friendly, supportive app that helps you achieve more and feel good about it. Because with this app you can:

• plan everything perfectly. Amie combines your tasks, emails, and calendar in 1 beautiful workspace. You no longer need to use different apps side by side. Schedule time for everything you do in your life: tasks, emails, meetings, sports lessons and even spending time with your family. Amie understands you.
• concentrate optimally. With a smart Pomodoro timer, you quickly get into the right focus. And you get subtle reminders to stay focused.
• find balance. Amie helps you plan breaks and relax with music. Because with the right balance, you stay productive and experience less stress.
• combine your favorite apps. Amie works well with tools like Things3, Apple Health, and Spotify. These trusted apps keep your workday running smoothly.
• work and live more positively. From cute animations to personal greetings, all the details in the app provide fun and a bit of positivity. So every checked task is a party.

Unique integrations with different tools.

In addition to its core features, the app offers unique integrations with other tools, such as Notion and Zoom. You can also connect Amie to Spotify, so you can see exactly what you were listening to on Wednesday morning at 10 am during your concentration peak. And how about syncing with Apple Health? This allows you to track workouts and meditations, and even see your heart rate spike during a stressful meeting. The plan is to integrate Amie with even more tools you use to communicate throughout the day, as well as build more social and tracking features right into the app. This will make it a place to store all the important things you do in your life.
