Easy to use, great for shift workers. Would like to be able to add more in notes- often have more than one thing happening in a day. Overall it's fantastic and even a computer challenged person like me can do it. I would like to be able to use 2 colours when I save notes to differentiate different activities. I would also like a reminder beep to alert me to my notes. I think this would be great ### 4/5 — Extra shifts for one day *2026-07-30, version 9.0* I’d like to be able add several shifts to the one day.
