At the moment I am kind happy with the UpNote + Things 3 + BusyCal combination but I am curious as to what others use for productivity apps.
Got a tip for us?

I have tried all of the major apps, and I use the exact same combo (UpNote, Things 3, BusyCal).
One special note is that I have been transitioning away from the calendar and moved towards putting all of my appointments in Things. I'm finding more and more than appointments are just tasks, so really it's just UpNote & Things 3.
I use Notion for work because of UpNote's 20MB requirement wouldn't cut it for me there.
Special Notes:
1. Can't wait for Things 4. Hope it's not subscription.
2. UpNote is amazing. Can't believe it doesn't get more love! With that said, the 20MB file size limit is bothersome
3. BusyCal is also great, both for Mac & iOS.

I have Things 3 for iOS but I am using the stock Notes Apps and 366 Calendar at the moment. 366 Calendar allows you to see your reminders in your calendar not to mention offering better views than the stock calendar app.
I haven't tried UpNote or BusyCal.
edited to add: I see UpNote doesn't offer SIWA. That is a shame not to mention if you sign up for an account and want to sync across all devices, your information is stored on a central server, which. I don't like.
