#todomate

First of all, is important to say that I’m 4th year Geography student and I use my cellphone (iPhone SE 2022) and a tablet (Samsung tab S7). Some apps are available just for one system, some are available for both. Biased that, some apps make sense for a GEOGRAPHY student, but may not be that helpful for other courses.

Notion

This one is a classic by now, right? I think I don’t have a lot to say about it, seems a little like a bullet journal but virtually, were you can creat a lot of pages and centrals. I use as a bullet journal + agenda + diary + note taking app!

Todomate

So, I discovered this app on Twitter and i’m IN LOVE with this! It’s like a social network, but where you can do to-do lists! As I said, it’s a social network, so you can add your friends and see their own to-do lists! You can also interact with them, liking their daily feelings and their tasks. It’s really fun and easy to use! You can also create private lists, routines etc. Love it! (That’s my count in the print, btw. You can add me there if you want to: HexGurlAcademia! My todo lists are all in portuguese? Yes, but…)

Windy

The must have to geoscience students! It’s an app that shows you a lot of geodata! Really good to check when there’s a storm coming or any climate event.

Noteshelf

Usually people use OneNote to do class notes, BUT it’s not available to android 🫠 but I founded this one! You can create groups, notebooks, transfer pdfs… I love to use this to read papers and texts for classes.

Samsung Notes

Another alternative to android users who wants to have a virtual notebook. You can also use the app in your PC!

Discord

So, did you know that there are a LOT of study communities on Discord? There are language learning communities, college servers (my university, for example, have one!), study buddies servers… I use to have study buddies and use pomodoro bots! There’s also a server I LOVE that has lo-fi rooms.

Classify

This one is a routine app! You can put not just your semester classes, but all your extracurricular activities! You can count study hours, add when your exams will be, homeworks… I really liked this one!

Habitica

Another routine app, but this one makes your tasks become a game! As more tasks you finish, you earn coins which you can exchange for things to up your character. You also earn xp to level up your character! I highly recommend it specially to teen/kid ADHD students! Trust me, it helps a lot transforming your life into a little game 😉

Yeolpumta (or YPT)

This one is a study chronometer! You can create your on profile, add friends, create and participate of study communities etc. I like this app, but may be discomfortable to people with anxiety, cuz you can see how many hours the others have been studying. If you study a lot of hours, your avatar changes and you go up in the groups and general rank. I stop using this so much cuz I was really anxious about it :/

Agenda Escolar

This one is a Brazilian app! Works very similar to Classify, but it’s a little simpler and 100% in brazilian portuguese.

Google stuff (Drive, Classroom etc)

Hi, long time no see! I just wanna share a discovery of mine in studytwt 💡 It’s this app called todo mate which promotes accountability because you can make your to do lists public, allowing your mutuals in the app to see it^^ There’s also a feature where you can send stickers to other people’s to do lists and motivate but haven’t tried that yet since I currently don’t have any mutuals ㅠㅠ

Anyway, let’s be mutuals in this app! I’ll follow you and let’s be “to do mates” :> Here’s my username in this app:

@areuharu

See you there! :>

What is ToDo Mate?

ToDo Mate is a site where users may view everyone's to-do list for the day. It's a simple platform for managing and organizing your plans, and it syncs across all of your devices as long as you're logged in to your account.

ToDo Mate is a platform that also enables you to add photos and keep journals for your thoughts. It's an easy-to-use tool that can help you stay organized and remind you of your tasks.

How did it Change my life?

1. Simple Design

Most to-do list apps don't last long for me since I find other designs difficult on my eyes and tiresome to input my list for that particular week or month. But when navigating with Todo Mate, it is straightforward, since information is presented in a simple and concise manner without using excessive detail. With Todo Mate, I may repeat a specified list of items under "Goals" and "Routines" by pressing the addition button.

2. It Syncs on Every Device I Own

It syncs all of my data and lists in other devices, whether they are from my phone, laptop, tablet, or other devices. Unlike the majority of previous apps, I tried, it was challenging to get used to and comprehend how the application or each button functioned. 

3. It Serves as a Habit tracker

Since you may repeat a specified set of items using the "Routine" option, ToDo Mate can function as a routine tracker. I make an effort every day to exercise, do tasks, or develop a habit, such as writing, drawing, or eating meals on time.

It is quite helpful, especially when I forget to eat. You may easily schedule a time in ToDo Mate to complete a certain task on your list. To be reminded that I need to eat in roughly 5–10 more minutes, I like to set it a little earlier so that I receive that early reminder on my phone. So far, I've been eating on time, which is a good thing because I frequently forget to eat.

4. Customizing

To Do Mate allows you to personalize how the colors are presented when you complete your work, as shown in the image below. I used several shades of green, but you may use any color you like based on the colors you display on your "Goals."

(An additional example below of a color scheme from a friend, who enjoys a vibrant palette)

You may also change the names of your "Goals." The "Goals" act as a title for your list, dividing it into sections. 

This has been a favorite of mine since it allows me to divide my School To Do List, Leisure To Do List, and Chores To Do List.

5. Seeing Other People’s List

Viewing other people's lists on this app is one of my favorite features. When I see other people finish their tasks, it helps me be more productive for some reason w whether it comes from a friend or a random user I follow on the app. It's good to see people accomplish something on their list for that day because it motivates me to do the same.

People can view your list as well, but you can set each of your Goals to private if you simply want to keep everything hidden from the public. Simply set each goal to private by selecting the "privacy" option.

First and foremost, this is not sponsored. I just wanted to express how much I like this software. I feel it has benefited me during my time in university and my life right now.  Despite all I've been going through, it makes my life feel a bit more manageable. Most of what I stated may be considered very opinionated. However, this software has fulfilled its purpose for me. I've been using this app for 5 months and, strangely, I haven't grown tired of it. I'll certainly keep you updated if Todo mate remains my personal favorite in the future. I may as well try to share more on programs that I personally like using or explore other kinds of productivity software. In the future, I might also talk about my personal life, hobbies, interests, a few thoughts, and sports. But that depends on whether I can accomplish it.
