Simple yet powerful tool to gather ideas and organize links. I use the “Agenda” feature every day to keep track of daily tasks. Besides personal use, I use it to collaborate with my team. It’s an awesome tool that we can’t live without!
@cyszewai We're grateful that these latest features have been helpful. Thank you for you feedback.
@watlandc Will there be any new features in the upcoming months?

@cyszewai Yes, a notable feature that we've received a lot of feedback on is our upcoming Google Calendar integration.

Currently, when planning tasks for your day and upcoming week you have to open your calendar separately to view your non-task events. Opening the calendar separately adds friction and things can slip through the cracks.

The Agenda will remain simple as it is now, except you will have the option to enable your Google Calendar events to display directly above next 7 days of your Agenda. By combining your Sprout items and Calendar Events on the same page, you have only one place to check to get a more complete view of your day and upcoming events.

Most to-dos apps expect you to schedule a due date for everything you do, they don't honor the difference between your "events" and "tasks". We intend for Sprout to do a better job better delineating and centralizing these two types of information. Unlike most to-dos apps, we already delineate between "When" you want to work on something and "Deadlines" (which are used more sparingly). You can of course select which of your calendars you would like to appear on your agenda.

Related, we also have an "Agenda Email" in the works. If you have events or items on your Agenda, we'll send you a daily Agenda Email showing your plans for the day (which you can of course opt-out of).

I hope you love these new features!

I mean, shameless basecamp copy. Even the color theme is the same.

@ziggy_crane1 Thanks for critique Ziggy!

I respect how Basecamp can take an inherently complex product and break it down simple ways.

Folks interested in Basecamp likely wouldn't be interest in Sprout (vice versa). Basecamp does a wonderful job giving medium size teams, that struggle to grok it's organizational workflow, a pre-built solution to reduce workplace complexity. The core workflow is completely different.

Sprout focuses on providing an excellent solo/single player daily organization experience. It requires lighter, faster, daily planner to process the overwhelming amount of information we process on a daily basis. This consumer experience can be shared with your team.

The non-core lipstick visual stuff changes on a weekly basis. We've already completely revised the public site 5 times – it will probably change again next week 😂

I'd love to hear any critique of the core workflow if you're willing to try it out – it's free. Ping me at [email protected] if you'd like a personal demo via Zoom.

I love this product. We’ve been using Asana to keep track of priorities but it’s so much more complex than what we need. Love the simplicity and organization. Congrats on the launch!

@carolinanmd Thank you Carolina! We feel the same way. We found that it was hard to build a daily routine with other organizational tools out there because they're just not – fun to use?

We would rather have a product that you use 80% of the features daily oppose to only using 20% (with an additional 80% of features only creating noise).

Congrats on the launch @watlandc! Sprout looks really elegant and simple, just what a daily planner should be! I always like to plan my day out. Excited to give this a try 👍

@gadgick Thanks Nic! Ping me at [email protected] if you'd like a personal walkthrough in setting up via Zoom.

We have a Google Calendar integration in the works that give you more complete view of your day for daily planning.
