## What is Recto Notes?

For years I kept separate apps: one for writing, one for reminders and to-do's. They never talked to each other. The idea lived in the notes app, the deadline in the to-do app, and I lived somewhere in between.

So I built Recto. All on the same page. You just write a note and if you give a task a date with '@', that task automatically becomes part of your neatly organised Task Center.
You work inside a note, focused on a single project. As ideas turn into things that need doing, you capture them right there and give them a date, without breaking your train of thought. The plan grows out of the writing instead of living apart from it.

Recto
- Inline tasks with dates, captured without leaving the note
- Task Center: overdue, today, tomorrow, this week, next week
- Native iOS, fast and quiet

1.3 Bug fixes and new payment structure

We've added some bug fixes and changed the payment structure of Recto.

Instead of a one-time upfront payment for each app on each platform, we introduced Recto Pro, which is a monthly, yearly or lifetime purchase for all platforms. The app is free to download and free to use up to 3 folders and 20 notes, anything beyond that needs Recto Pro. The free version is not squeezed on functionality, so all features of Recto are free to use, for everyone. 

Anyone that already bought the app, is automatically set on the Lifetime purchase path for Recto Pro, I thank you for your support. 
Improved PDF export functions
Improved taks reminders
Improved sync across devices, it is now quicker and loads faster on 'the other' device
Improved some bug fixes through customer feedback, so please let us know your experience.
