I’m curious what people actually want from an all-in-one productivity app.
There are so many tools now that combine tasks, calendars, notes, projects, AI, scheduling, docs, habits, and integrations, but a lot of them still end up feeling like more work to maintain.
My view is that a good productivity app should help you decide what matters next and reduce manual upkeep, not just store and track information.
That’s the direction I’m exploring with Serena: a task/project manager with AI assistance for planning, prioritization, daily plans, weekly recaps, and project recommendations.
Trying not to build in a vacuum, so I’m curious:
- What would make an all-in-one productivity app genuinely useful for you?
- What would you want it to handle automatically?
- And what features sound good in theory but usually just become clutter?
