Comments and Reviews
I stumbled across this GEM of brilliant productivity software one day on Reddit. I've tried just about every app out there and am a veteran Omnifocus user. It was recommended highly, so I figured I'd check it out.
Marvin is the app that I'd long been searching for! I knew that the app I wanted didn't exist, and it didn't until recently. I was moderately content with Omnifocus, knowing I wanted an app to do much more and manage every aspect of productivity simultaneously. I checked periodically for new software developments. Nothing. Just two months ago in my productivity software search, I didn't find anything better. Other apps didn't work well on my Android phone.
Marvin does it all! I'm more amazed by what I can do now with Marvin than when I chose Omnifocus as my first GTD app. I didn't think I could be amazed, since I'd seen it all. Just more apps which were glorified checklists, and highly overpriced for what they offered. I took less than an hour to get oriented fully in Marvin, and I realize now that the possibilities are endless. Everything is modular. You can customize it to be as minimalist or power-user-ready as you'd like. I had thoughts of what my ideal GTD app would be, and Marvin addresses what was missing in other apps. It was clearly designed thoughtfully. It was designed by someone who actually considered how to IMPLEMENT it in daily life. It wasn't just a new checklist. Go meet Marvin! As a veteran GTD productivity enthusiast, I can't recommend it more highly. Marvin has exceeded my expectations and shown me just how modular and comprehensive software can be. Marvin is your one-stop shop for pomodoro timers, priority management, to-do lists, everything.

I am a productivity junkie.
I lived most of my life with undiagnosed ADHD. The reason it remained undiagnosed is because I was always, always able to build systems to support the way my brain works. I used to swear by Todoist, I've used Tick Tick, Monday, Asana, Clickup, I've used The Productivity Planner, I've designed my own journals and had them mailed, I've built systems inside of dotted notebooks, I've augmented to-do apps with note taking apps, calendars, tablets, folding phones, dual screened phones - if it exists to streamline, organize, or manage information and it has more than 1000 users there's a good chance I've used it, heard about it, or read a description and immediately dismissed it.
When I opened Marvin, it made me angry. I hated it. I browsed around for a bit and immediately closed it. Everything about it was all wrong - but I knew that my mentor, my own personal career coach and productivity guru, swore by it. So, I opened it up again. For approximately 3 hours I thumbed through the digital pages of the LEGO building blocks that make up the apps features - strategies, they're called - and I realized that I was witnessing something special.
The Amazing Marvin is a god, a king, the GOAT among productivity apps. It gives access to all of the most effective, scientifically backed methodologies - strategies, if you will - for keeping yourself and your life organized and effective. Because the app is so modular, these can be shuffled, re-shuffled, and customized at will. If there's a feature in another app or an approach to either visualizing or sorting through your data, nine times out of ten you'll find an analogue here. If not that, you'll likely find something that, with a bit of finagling, can serve exactly the same function. Not to mention that there's a high likelihood that you'll be introduced to an idea that you haven't considered yet and which could revolutionize the way you do things.
Marvin is, because of this, one of the only digital tools that I would compare to pen and paper. You have a blank canvas that you can shape to your will. It is not ready out of the box, but that is in part because it doesn't impose any particular philosophies of organization onto you. That lack of direction was initially very frustrating as the few default settings available were not to my taste.
3 hours later and I had formed something new, something more flexible and more useful than anything else I had ever encountered. And thus, Marvin has become an invaluable tool in my professional life. I give it my highest recommendation.
I've tried a lot of different task management apps and Marvin is the only one I've gotten to work for me. It comes down to being able to create a workflow that works for me. I don't have to do a lot of workarounds to do what I want to do because Marvin is not only customizable, but very flexible.

You won't regret giving it a try.
Amazing Marvin is an excellent app that allows you to manage your projects and habits in a fully customizable way. The tool offers many “strategies” that you can choose to enable or disable, allowing you to create a workflow tailored to your needs and preferences. It also helps you fight procrastination and is well suited for people with ADHD. I’ve tried many apps to get organized, but for me, this one is by far the best.
Amazing Marvin is the only productivity tool that I know of that fully adapts to the needs of the user instead of the user having to adapt to the software. This tool is completely customizable. You can pick what kind of frameworks you want to use and choose how you want things to appear. There is a library of frameworks to choose from and you can mix and match to get the perfect setup for your work environment. You can pick from a variety of useful productivity tools like time blocking, eat the frog, backburner, smart lists, colour tagging, timers, tools for ADHD, and more. It’s not hard to customize and I have things set up the way I like so I can spend more time working than trying to find or organize things. Amazing Marvin lets me see things where I need them, when I need them. I love having the ability to choose what works for me. Try it out with an introductory period. You may find you like having choices too.
Amazing Marvin is the first productivity/task/planning software that has actually helped me manage the massive overwhelm and dread I felt in my life... Features like ‘Help Me Start!’, beat-the-clock, task-jar (random pick) and Super-Focus mode get me going, and all the stats, rewards, and gamification keep me moving and motivated all day long! It's fun, clean layout, intuitive project/life planning, endless options and features to try, for me it's been like discovering a new productivity superpower! :D Now I finally have structure, peace, and real progress toward my goals every day that I've always wanted. Feels so good to be finally un-stuck in my life... Can't thank the team enough for developing this tool, absolutely life-changing.
