The short answer
Productivity enthusiasts live in r/productivity, r/Notion, r/ObsidianMD, and r/gtd on Reddit, plus tool-specific communities around Notion and Obsidian. They're the easiest audience to reach — they actively want new tools — and the hardest to retain, because they churn the moment something shinier ships.

How to actually reach productivity enthusiasts
Answer the 'what tool for X' threads
Productivity subs run daily recommendation threads. A genuinely good-fit answer to someone's question is the highest-converting post you'll write — and it ranks in search after.
Integrate with the tools they love
A Notion template or Obsidian plugin is a trojan horse — it's how unknown tools get discovered inside established ecosystems.
Name the system, not just the feature
This audience thinks in methodologies — GTD, PARA, time-blocking. If your tool fits one, say so; methodology keywords are how they search.

Common questions
Where do productivity enthusiasts hang out?
r/productivity, r/Notion, r/ObsidianMD, r/gtd, and r/todoist on Reddit — plus the template and plugin communities around each major tool.
How do I promote a productivity app?
Through the ecosystems they already use — Notion templates, Obsidian plugins, integrations. And by answering the daily 'what tool does X' threads where your app is the honest fit.
Do productivity enthusiasts pay for tools?
Yes — this audience buys tools readily and churns readily. They pay for anything that demonstrably saves time, then leave when the next shiny thing ships.
What content works for this audience?
Workflows and systems. 'My complete setup' posts — with your tool inside — outperform feature announcements because this audience buys systems, not apps.
