What is Amazing Marvin?
The most immediate difference that you might notice is how colorful and playful Marvin's design is. But that's just the tip of the iceberg. Marvin is centered around the concept of planning a day and working off tasks from a daily list. This is hard to implement well with most other productivity tools. Marvin also has a ton of unique features (and more being added all the time!). We call them strategies and each one can be turned on/off, which allows you to build a unique productivity system that works for you.
Marvin can also be used solely as a day planning tool. Each day you can make a daily todo list with Marvin - pulling tasks from another application or even paper planners. Marvin offers many features that can help you not only plan a great day but also work off those tasks (super focus mode, timers, time estimates, sectioning your day etc.). So it has a lot of benefits even if you use another application to store your tasks/projects (e.g. Todoist, Wunderlist, Trello, Asana etc.)
Many features in Marvin are specifically designed to improve procrastination. But procrastination is a complex issue and simply storing your tasks in Marvin is not going to transform you into a productivity monster overnight. But if you struggle with procrastination and getting things done, Marvin will be a HUGE help. We recommend reading through out best practices guide to learn how to get the most out of Marvin. Also reach out to us or the community when you feel like you are not making improvements so we can help guide you. We are also working on an anti-procrastination course for our users that will be very helpful in fighting the procrastination habit.

I am a GTD veteran who has cycled through so many apps in the years, latest being todoist,and then also used trello, asana, outlook, a gazillion others I can't remember and also thebrain(hello 200 usd). But never could find the one, the system to rule them all because my needs depending on the project or mood would change. But. Even if that would not be the case I never could get full functionality from 1 app and always needed to use 2-3 others.
Marvin is different, it's a modular system which allows you to customise your personal flow. There are a lot of helpful explanation faq but they stand out because they are written by someone who has gone through the struggle of procrastination. Even when it read them I understood that I was missing a couple of key things like starting any task with an adjective. Not only are those guides helpful but they teach you the general idea too.
Support is outstanding :I ran into a small issue and contacted the Marvin team, got a response within 30 min- the issue was resolved.
Marvin is still growing though, they are adding many new features on a monthly basis which have no competitors :)
If you are looking for the Swiss lego army knife of productivity. You have found it
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

I struggle with adult ADHD for years and productivity has been my nightmare as long as I remember. I tried different apps with no result. however since I've started to use the Amazing Marvin my life has changed for the better. For the first time I feel like I am in charge and days ends almost the way I planned them to. I'd be always grateful to this app.
most comprehensive personal and work task management tool . todo list with ai! it's amazing yeah!!!
After trying a lot of to-do list over time and settling for TickTick (for a bunch of features) being available and cross-platform support - I found about Amazing Marvin. It took some time to dive deep and understand what Marvin is about. But, if you like working on a computer (ie. prefer organizing things on a web app over mobile phone), prefer customizability and choice to tailor a software to your needs, and a great experience - I can't recommend Marvin enough.
It is the only task manager which has amazing flexibility (aka strategies) and plethora of thoughtful features to help you feel at home. And yes, their documentation is amazing! I recommend anyone who has gone through a bunch of task managers but never found a right one to try Marvin once before settling.
I like Amazing Marvin because I can customize everything I want. Also, smart lists make things easy when you use them. Marvin makes tracking fun. So, I would recommend using Marvin
