Pro Task/calendar syncing (Google Calendar & Outlook)
Any task with a date/time assigned to it will be exported to calendars optionally connected. Completing the task removes it from calendar.
Pro Multi-level tagging (personal/hobbies/bike-rides) to keep organized
Any note can be assigned as many deeply nested tags as desired. The tag hierarchy can be navigated, filtered on tasks or notes.
Pro Backlinking & networked note references
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.
Pro Automatically sorted task list
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.
Cons
Con Beta interface is confusing for first-timers
The interface is very opinionated (this is a good thing). But it is not obvious how to map user's own GTD variant onto the one the author has in mind. Maybe after it is in production, there will be better on-boarding.
Con No native apps
Con In Beta (development)
Con Not end-to-end encrypted
