Plan your day with the reminders and calendars you already use. GoodTask builds on Apple Reminders and Calendar, bringing your to-do lists, schedule and projects together. "a masterful blend of power-user task management features and the inherent simplicity of Reminders." - Federico Viticci, MacStories, on GoodTask for iOS (2018) Start with a simple checklist. Add Smart Lists, flexible views and Quick Actions as your needs grow. Use iCloud to keep your reminders and calendar events in sync across devices. PLAN A DAY THAT WORKS Choose what to work on in Today Page without changing your tasks' due dates. See your calendar events alongside your plan, then use Next Page to focus on one task or subtask at a time. Set a focus timer and look back on completed work and daily notes in Reports. FIND WHAT NEEDS YOUR ATTENTION Create Smart Lists that bring together tasks from different lists. Filter by dates, priorities, tags and more to see what matters now: overdue work, errands or the next steps in a project. Update a task wherever you find it, and the change stays with the original reminder. SEE YOUR WORK YOUR WAY Switch between list, day, week and month views. Organize tasks in kanban-style boards by date, priority, list or tag. Use Matrix View to compare priorities in four customizable quadrants, or Project View to follow tasks and events across dates. SPEND LESS TIME ORGANIZING Capture tasks with presets and text snippets. Customize Quick Actions to reschedule work, change priorities, move tasks between lists or add tags. Make changes to several tasks at once with bulk actions. SIMPLIFY RECURRING WORK Break tasks into subtasks, set flexible repeating schedules and save reusable Templates for routines such as a weekly review or packing for a trip. KEEP YOUR PLAN CLOSE Personalize colors, fonts and task displays. On iPhone and iPad, use widgets to keep your lists in sight. On supported iPhones, follow a focus session with Live Activities on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. The Apple Watch companion lets you check tasks and add new ones from your wrist when used with an iPhone.

You have a system, a folder of markdown files, structured the way you think, sitting in cloud storage where you can see it. It works right up until you stand up from the desk. Evenmark is a markdown editor for iPhone and iPad that opens the folder your notes are already in and lets you view and write in the files directly. That's the whole idea. No import. No new system to move into. Point it at the folder in your cloud storage where your notes live. The vault you've built is the vault you get, on the sofa, on the train, in the queue — wherever you happened to think of the thing. NOTHING GETS LOCKED IN, BECAUSE NOTHING GOES IN Every notes app you've tried wanted to own the notes. Its own format, its own storage, its own export button you'd go hunting for in three years when you'd finally had enough of it. Evenmark writes plain .md files into your own folder. Open them in Obsidian on your desktop, open them in Notepad, open them in whatever you're using in ten years. Delete Evenmark tomorrow and every word is exactly where you left it. There's nothing to get out, because nothing ever went in. SETUP IS ONE SCREEN Sign in to your cloud storage, choose the folder your notes live in, and that folder is your vault. Tree on the left, note on the right. On iPhone the note gets the whole screen and the tree is one tap away. WRITE. IT SAVES ITSELF. Live markdown styling as you type, so a heading looks like a heading while you're writing it. Evenmark saves a moment after you stop, and again when you close the note. There's no save button because you shouldn't have to think about it. JOINED-UP NOTES, NOT A PILE OF THEM Link notes inline. Connect to links already in your files. Change a file name and the links update with it, so tidying your folders never breaks anything. The links panel shows you what a note points at and what points back at it, which is usually where you find the thing you forgot you'd written. FOR THE NOTES THAT AREN'T DOCUMENTS Some things aren't a page. Quotes you're collecting, ideas you're keeping, anything that's really a handful of small entries with the same few fields. A gallery base is one file that shows up as a grid of cards. Add a property once and every card has it. Underneath it's still ordinary markdown, still one file, still readable anywhere. THE TRAIN, THE PLANE, THE DEAD PATCH Notes you've opened are on the device. Write with no signal and your edits are held safely until you're back online. When you reconnect, files are sent with a check against the version you started from. So returning to a connection never quietly overwrites something.
