Twos app is fresh. I like how the unfinished tasks can auto-rollover to the next day. You can also add notes and other things as well as the tasks in a single stream.
I hear they are going to release a big update soon so will check it out when it comes out.

For bookmarks it is hard to beat Raindrop. Reasonably priced and best used with the chrom extension. Very powerful and can save a copy of the webpage so even if the page goes down you keep your version. Very intuitive to use also. 

For visual notes and mind mapping Milanote and Scapple are both good. I designed my own visual notes app for bigger screens called https://www.Thoughtogram.com Your home board can be your new tab page if you like.

Above is an example page showing some tips on how to use it. I make use of it everyday. I would really value your positive and negative experiences with it etc. If you are interested please sign up for your free 30 day free trial. No credit card required, just sign up for instant access.
