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.

Absolutely brilliant. -A very busy grad student

Amazing Marvin is extremely customizable, so no matter what workflow works for you, this is the tool for the job. It has an active community and the developers are active on Reddit and on their Facebook group. They help solve problems and answer questions very quickly. The ability to turn on and off different strategies is a game changing. Don't know which flow to use? Amazing Marvin has inbuilt flows from the most popular todo apps out there. I couldn't be happier with it.

I am someone who, through my problems and ADHD, is not good at organising my tasks, goals and setting priorities. This is the biggest problem affecting mainly my personal life . Personally, I choose the tool/program best for my needs, so I spent several days testing many TODO/Daily planner and similar programs. I chose two, although I decided to search deeper on the internet and then I found Amazing Marvin.

The subscription model turned me off a bit, but I understand that this tool has to be constantly developed and maintained, which is not free and requires work and resources.

Thanks to my contact with the great developers of Amazing Marvin, I had the opportunity to test the programme fully and I think it is the perfect app to manage my tasks, habits, goals and time. The programme can be overwhelming at first, but it is the only one that is unique and has a great deal of options and functionality to include/exclude like modules. So far, I am very happy with Amazing Marvin and I am already starting to find my way around the available options quite well. The ideal activities I have mentioned are only a part of the available functions in Amazing Marvin and the programme can be used in many ways and strategies can be selected to meet your needs.

In my opinion it should be much more popular than it currently is. I've always looked for programmes with a LifeTime plan, so this is my first subscription model I'm adopting because I know the programme will change my life for the better and is worth every penny.

Best regards

I love this app. I have chronic fatigue, a foggy brain and some adhd traits. I have to deal with a heavy mental load every day partly because of my health partly because I have a "bubbly" brain, always bubblying with new ideas, projects.

I love the fact Marvin is so highly customizable, even in the smallest details. (For instance which buttons I want visible or not, etc)

I would recommend it easily to anyone wishing to use an app that can adapt to "the way your brain work".

One thing useful to have in mind, I think, is that it can takes time to find which strategies are working for you. It takes some trial and error. I am using it daily and happily since a few months, planning to continue to use it in the future, and slowly customize it, tweaking this and that, etc.

It can be a tad bit buggy on my phone (when I have to many tasks on my daily list for instance), but I made a feedback to the team, which is really responsive, an other point that I appreciated.

I wish this app and the team behind the app a happy and long life, this app could deserve more attention on the market of productivity apps, in my opinion.

Stop everything what you use because the app you use is designed for some specific type of people and probably that type is not you.

I used over 30+ Productivity apps. Amazing Marvin is like a transformer and it can transform what you need and how much you want to done.

I have made my own workflow using strategies on Amazing Marvin and I can clearly say I am compounding my productive gains overtime.

This App is probably going to be your best friend. Dance moves are insane and hypes you with do more productive work.

I can't express enough how Amazing Marvin has transformed my productivity game. As a dedicated student-athlete, I faced the challenge of balancing academics and sports. Amazingly, Marvin came to my rescue!   The app's features and functionalities are truly exceptional. It's not just about to-do lists; it's a comprehensive tool for managing tasks, time, and priorities effectively. The flexibility to tailor it to my unique needs has been a game-changer.   What sets Amazing Marvin apart is its impact on my academic and athletic performance. It has enabled me to stay organized, focused, and efficient, helping me maintain my academic excellence while also excelling on the court.   I'm also incredibly grateful for the Amazing Marvin Team's generosity. They extended my free trial subscription for a year when they learned about my financial constraints as a student-athlete. Their support has been invaluable.   If you're a student or anyone seeking to boost productivity and time management, look no further than Amazing Marvin. It's a true gem that will help you achieve your goals efficiently.   Thank you, Amazing Marvin, for being a lifesaver in my academic and athletic journey!
