Checkvist vs Amplenote

Checkvist hits a sweet spot between minimal and complexity. It gives you a host of options and extras to use on your lists, but you can completely ignore them if you don't need them and keep it very simple. This makes Checkvist a one-stop shop, regardless of what type of 'list' you need.

Search filters help you search for tasks by tag, due date, assignee, etc.

To-do lists often need to be grouped and regrouped for clarity. The outline-based nature of Checkvist makes it easy to move things across categories, to increase and decrease priority, etc.

Parses markdown, html links, hashtags to become formatted text, clickable links, and tags, respectively.

Checkvist offers many free features if you are using this individually.

Any item can have a free-text comment, which can be shown or hidden as desired.

Any task with a date/time assigned to it will be exported to calendars optionally connected. Completing the task removes it from calendar.

Any note can be assigned as many deeply nested tags as desired. The tag hierarchy can be navigated, filtered on tasks or notes.

Amplenote supports the same [[]] syntax popular in Roam to create a link to an existing note. Every linked note has a tab with all the references into that note.

Every task can be marked as "Urgent" or "Important," along with the time it's due. This makes it possible for the software to automatically sort your todo list in a way that makes sense, and save you time of deciding what to work on first every day.
