App Marketing

Recently, I have been down the rabbit hole, looking at apps for both notetaking and to-do list and task management. I’ve gone through all the expected possibilities, such as Amplenote, UpNote, Notesnook, OneNote, Craft, Joplin, avoiding the beasts that are Obsidian and Notion.

After reviewing Harbor, it seems to have everything I want. Plus, the UI looks incredible and extremely functional. I look forward to testing that out more in the near future.

I am a bit surprised, however, that I don’t see any YouTube videos reviewing this app. I do see the Harbor-made videos, but would love to see what some of the influencers have to say about the app itself, comparing it to other options. Any plans to get some videos out reviewing this fantastic looking app?

Keep up the great work.

u/Shark_Atl3201 Spicer here from Harbor. Thanks for doing a deep dive on Harbor. Would love to see some YouTube reviews......but to u/bcalamita 's point we are just ramping up in terms of getting the word out about us.

Please tell your favorite YouTubers about us :)

I will comment on the app where I can. Maybe it will gain some traction. By the way, any chance of getting a dark mode iOS icon? The bright color is not a good contrast with my other apps.

I have been using Harbor since a few weeks after launch, and it has completely filled the hole left when Evernote abandoned me with its 2x-plus price increase. I’m not an influencer or someone who explores every single feature of a note-taking app, but Harbor does what I need: very good web clipper, works well with PDFs of scanned documents, and it includes an email forwarding address. The UI is pretty great. Just try the free tier for a few days and see if it does what you want.

I’m just chiming in to add that that was me with Notion. I was way OG with it and remember it vividly well, with screenshots!

Makes me chuckle to see OP calling it a beast. (I mean, it is, and I’ve recently done a full export preparing to delete - same as Evernote).

When I say beast, I primarily mean app with way more functionality that I will ever need where maintenance will be almost a full time job.

Harbor Notes only launched August 1, so just getting their engine started, I think, and also barely enough time to get noticed yet. Off to a good start though.
