I've been having a lot of fun using Dots to capture things while shopping or in the middle of work. I also like having an agent keep an eye on my plans and notice things I might miss, without me having to remember to check everything myself. Though I agree that quick changes can be done faster manually

Thanks! I've put a lot of care into this, so glad to hear that. The big win for me is simplicity. Things and similar apps have lots of ways to organize stuff: areas, someday, inbox, anytime, etc. Calendars also have a bunch of fields I rarely use, like location and reminders. Most of the time, I just want a simple way to put my day in order, identify what's important, and dump notes into items without worrying too much about structure

Changing a time and reordering the list are separate operations, so the untimed tasks would stay put (assuming that by "move an appointment" you mean changing its time)

Definitely! I do think friction can encourage intentionality. Though I found that after a few days, the copying became background noise and I stopped giving it much thought. Revisiting my project priorities every so often and having those decisions propagate to tasks automatically has worked better for me

I went with remote MCP! I wanted it accessible/convenient to hosted agents without a local computer dependency
