Amie is a calendar app that helps you manage tasks and easily add emails as tasks to your calendar.
Amie has recently pivoted from a calendar/task/email app to a Meeting Recorder. Unlike other meeting recorder bots, Amie doesn't join the call as a bot, it just listens to your computer audio and microphone like that of Granola.
From there, it summarizes your meetings, creates tasks, and will even mock-up follow-up emails and send them off for you if you'd like.
Amie is definitely not a full email client, although it is listed on the best email clients page, that's because it allows you to time-block on your calendar emails, and then respond to those emails from right within Amie.
That said, view it as more of a "feature" and less of a software category. When comparing Superhuman vs Amie for example, there's no match—Amie is not a full-fledged email app.
Lightening fast (keyboard shortcut-focused) calendar for individuals.
Vimcal markets itself as "the calendar for people with too many meetings" (iOS only). With that, the main problem they are trying to solve is helping folks schedule meetings more efficiently — think of it as a replacement for Calendly with an entire calendar at the core (Side note: Vimcal's integrations are not on par with Calendly so double check that integrations aren't a core need before switching over).
We initially loved the idea of Vimcal, as they are trying to portray themselves as the "Superhuman of calendar"—and we love Superhuman.
The thing is, they missed the mark on what actually makes Superhuman special in our eyes.
Vimcal confuses "productivity" with having keyboard shortcuts for everything (talking every single UI component).
This is at the cost of simplicity, making Vimcal feel quite a bit more overwhelming and over-engineered than it needs to be.
And when you're dealing with the monthly cost, we've found that Motion has a far superior scheduler and calendar (all for a similar monthly price), which even includes a time-blocking task/project management for individuals and teams.
Vimcal does have a nice mobile iOS app, although Cron takes the cake in that area (iOS only for both). Motion on the other hand has both an iOS and Android app.
