I think I did it. I think I finally found a system that works for my brain. A system that brings my work and personal lives together under one roof and allows me to stay organized across tasks, documents, and projects — and it’s finally available on Android. This is, after all, the holy grail of productivity apps, right?
Productivity apps are a dime a dozen these days, and I’ve tried way too many in search of something that works for me. But after consistently using it for a while now, I feel confident saying that the app Craft is actually making a difference in my life.
