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.
Absolutely brilliant. -A very busy grad student
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.
Best productivity tool ever (only one that sticks) Amazing Marvin is truly amazing! Its greatest strengths are its customizability and the incredible team behind it. There are sooo many ways to customize marvin that you can make it look and behave exactly as you want it to, and whenever your needs change or need new inspiration, you can completely transform it to suit your new needs. So while in the past I'd always be switching tools and checking new apps out, now I know that with Marvin I can do everything I need to, and there are always new features that might help me.
The team behind it is small but extremely committed, kind and helpful, and there's also a great community of kind-hearted people who will quickly respond to you whenever you have an issue or need ideas for new setups or needs. I'm really grateful for the team for creating this really super tool!
I have ADHD and really love Amazing Marvin! It helps me plan & prioritize, and has SO many tools to help me get unstuck along the way. I hope this tool continues to grow & find more users, especially in the ADHD community!
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.
