Scrybe: Contextual Calendar To The Max

comments

Oh man, I was as giddy as a school girl after seeing this video preview of Scrybe, an online calendar app. Quite possibly the coolest thing I’ve seen this year in terms of web apps. Finally, someone is actually adding contexts to a calendar and time management application. I’ve talked about the importance of contexts within idea capture and remembering things, so this is a huge step forward for a richer calendar program.

30Boxes is the best right now at doing this, but Scrybe is going to blow them out of the water with their feature set. I’m not even going to try and tell you all of the goodness this program is going to have, because it wouldn’t do it justice. You’re just going to have to watch it yourself.

Scrybe looks slick but 30 Boxes is about your connections and social media. Also, do you realize that 30 Boxes To Do items handles context very well. For instance, I have 80 or so to do items at any time and they are all have at least 2 tags. The first is context (e.g. @calls, @work, @errands, @computer) and the second relates to the project or class (e.g. personal, finance, italytrip). You are able to filter your to do items in 2 dimensions so you can quickly look at, say, all of your personal calls or all of the finance related stuff you can do at your computer. You should try it.

Narendra,

30 Boxes is my calendar right now, and I’m very excited to see how supermail plays out. Not quite sure what it’s going to do exactly, but it sounds cool ;) I love the fact that you guys develop the product on a consistent basis.

I’ve been VERY happy with 30 Boxes, but the thing that I really like about Scrybe is the fact that it focuses most on contexts (not the GTD contexts, but contextual factors) and integrations among them, and 30 Boxes focuses more on the social aspect. I could be dead wrong (probably am ;)

I don’t know, I haven’t even had a chance to play with Scrybe yet, so take this with a grain of salt. Thanks for the comments!

Scrybe is great. I’ve been playing with it for a few weeks now. However, it does more than I need it to do as a calendar so I prefer Stikkit with gCal.

However, I love the “thoughtstream” feature they show in their video. They haven’t released that feature, yet. But I was wondering: does anyone know of a similar app or extension that does the same type of “web capture” they show on the video?
