The beauty of the iPad and iPadOS is that you have access to the app store. Some say that the iPadOS software tends to bog the user experience down, especially in a productivity setting, but I disagree. Between the nearly 2 million apps you have access to and the raw power from the iPad Pro chipset, I believe the iPad can be a more productive alternative to a traditional desktop or laptop experience.
Here are the seven apps I use on my M4 iPad Pro to stay productive. Be sure to check out our video below to get a true hands-on with the applications I mention: Sunsama is a daily planner and task management software I have used for years. I actually did a review almost two years ago here.
I use it as my life to-do hub and consolidate everything from work-related tasks to home stuff to even hobbies that I want to make sure I make time for. It is a calendar-first focused guided daily planner. The key word here is "guided" – it almost feels like a daily exercise, let me explain.
Sunsama strikes a great balance between making sure you accomplish all of your tasks but also keeping mental clarity and not allowing yourself to get overwhelmed or burned because of all the work you need to get done. Every morning, when you open up the application, which works across all of your devices and syncs perfectly, it will ask you what you want to get done today. There is also a tab with the tasks you did not complete the day before; it even syncs with your calendar to have visibility on any tim.
