Simple yet powerful tool to gather ideas and organize links. I use the “Agenda” feature every day to keep track of daily tasks. Besides personal use, I use it to collaborate with my team. It’s an awesome tool that we can’t live without!
@cyszewai Yes, a notable feature that we've received a lot of feedback on is our upcoming Google Calendar integration.
Currently, when planning tasks for your day and upcoming week you have to open your calendar separately to view your non-task events. Opening the calendar separately adds friction and things can slip through the cracks.
The Agenda will remain simple as it is now, except you will have the option to enable your Google Calendar events to display directly above next 7 days of your Agenda. By combining your Sprout items and Calendar Events on the same page, you have only one place to check to get a more complete view of your day and upcoming events.
Most to-dos apps expect you to schedule a due date for everything you do, they don't honor the difference between your "events" and "tasks". We intend for Sprout to do a better job better delineating and centralizing these two types of information. Unlike most to-dos apps, we already delineate between "When" you want to work on something and "Deadlines" (which are used more sparingly). You can of course select which of your calendars you would like to appear on your agenda.
Related, we also have an "Agenda Email" in the works. If you have events or items on your Agenda, we'll send you a daily Agenda Email showing your plans for the day (which you can of course opt-out of).
I hope you love these new features!

@cyszewai congrats on the launch 🚀 I believe my days are going to be more productive, will share this with my team as well 🙌
Congrats on the launch @watlandc! Sprout looks really elegant and simple, just what a daily planner should be! I always like to plan my day out. Excited to give this a try 👍
@gadgick Thanks Nic! Ping me at chris@sprout.io if you'd like a personal walkthrough in setting up via Zoom.
We have a Google Calendar integration in the works that give you more complete view of your day for daily planning.
I love this product. We’ve been using Asana to keep track of priorities but it’s so much more complex than what we need. Love the simplicity and organization. Congrats on the launch!
@carolinanmd Thank you Carolina! We feel the same way. We found that it was hard to build a daily routine with other organizational tools out there because they're just not – fun to use?
We would rather have a product that you use 80% of the features daily oppose to only using 20% (with an additional 80% of features only creating noise).
Terrific product with robust yet simple functionality. Love the notification component and the ability to delegate tasks to other team members using the platform is wildly efficient for decentralized teams.
I've been using this product for over a year now. Mostly as a substitute for the long lost Del.Ico.us, which Yahoo bought and destroyed. I've been thrilled to see the more recent additions that make Sprout more than just a place for links, and turn it into a simplified planner that I use to start my day.
Definitely recommended.
@bjmendelson Thanks for the eloquent description of your experience 🙏 When we first started working on this, finding a good way to save and share a curated collection of links was the focus (like a syllabus). It later evolved to help take action and do more with those saved links oppose to collecting dust.

I can see myself using this for group travel planning with friends and family who might not live close to you!
@eunca That's a great use case for Sprout. I just did the same for a recent holiday trip. If you try it out, please let me know how it works for you.
btw - just looked at your PH profile. Your Benefits With Friends site sound really useful. I often want to throw out a question outside of of my network, but there's really no service that does exactly that. Just jumped on your waitlist.

@watlandc Thank you Chris for checking my landing page out :D As you saw, I just have a landing page built, and I'm trying to figure out where to get my first handful of audience who would be interested in such product.
