Your events, to-dos and notes for a single day, together on one page. Each page shows a calendar, then that day's events, then your note, in that order. You can see your schedule while you write. Events and reminders come from the Calendar and Reminders apps already on your device, so you never enter anything twice. Along with text, photos go on the same page. To-dos you didn't finish can be moved to tomorrow's page together. Free to use, with an optional Pro subscription. β One day, one page Drag the divider to give more room to your events or to your notes, depending on the day. Type a checkbox into the note and it becomes today's to-do. Search runs across events, reminders and notes at once, so old pages stay findable. Swipe left or right for yesterday and tomorrow. β Keeps the calendar you already use Your iCloud, Google and Exchange accounts appear the moment you open the app β nothing to import, nothing to abandon. Calendars can be created, reordered and shared from inside the app, and other calendar apps keep working alongside it. β Write whatever the day needs Add photos straight to the page. Checkboxes, lists, five highlight colours and formatting such as bold, underline and strikethrough are all there. Use the page as a journal, as meeting notes, as a health log, as lecture notes β the format is yours to decide. β Nothing falls off the page Overdue reminders and unfinished to-dos left on earlier pages are gathered into a single list. Move them to today or tomorrow in one step. The number left can be shown as a badge on the app icon. β Two columns, spreads and widgets On a larger screen, work in two columns with the calendar on one side and the note on the other, or open a two-day spread.
