DraftDog vs Andante

here are so many note taking apps. You can find a lots of them with many advanced features. Many of them can count the words, change the color and size of characters, categorize documents by folders, synchronize with the cloud, put photos, and even recognize handwriting ... At first, I tried to create such an app. However, the impression of a friend who touched the prototype changed my mind. "I don't need so many features like this." I don't usually take notes with an app.When I use them, I'll copy to my paper notebook later so digital data will be needless after all. The only feature I need is tidying up notes more easily. Tidy up I didn't noticed it Certainly digital data does not take up space, but when it accumulates it make us feel stressed. We need tidying up. That's why I made this. It's an app for taking notes and tidying up them. I can't affirm this is a full featured note-taking app because I got rid of many features to make my app lighter. It's more like draft than note what you can take with this app is. So, I named this "DraftDog". Why "Dog"? Because doggies are cute.

Andante is for big goals that take months and add up with effort over time. Maybe you want to read 30 books this year, bill 2,000 hours, write a 50,000-word manuscript, or spend 1,000 hours outside. Every day, Andante tells you how much it would take today to stay on pace. A daily pace instead of streaks Most goal apps encourage you to build streaks. Andante gives you a daily ask instead: a number that takes into account everything you’ve done and everything you have left to do. Miss a day, and tomorrow’s ask might go up a little. Have a strong week, and it comes down. There’s no streak to protect, and Andante doesn’t judge you for taking a day off. How it works A goal starts with a sentence, like “I will read 50 books by December 31.” As you type, a chart shows the pace the goal starts at, so you can change the amount or the goal date until the pace looks realistic. Each day, log what you did by dragging a slider or typing your new total. If you miss a few days, enter where you are now, and the math comes out the same. Every goal has a pace gauge, a small dial with a triangle that points to the top when you’re on pace, swings left as you fall behind, and swings right as you get ahead. The chart shows your progress so far, with two lines from today to your goal date: the pace you’ve kept, and the pace you need. A sentence under the chart says it in words, like “At this pace, you’ll reach 50 books around Nov 19.” Touch and hold the chart to see where the goal stood on any day. Rest days Choose which days of the week you work on a goal, and plan rest days for holidays and vacations ahead of time. When you take one, your pace doesn’t go up the next day. Before a longer break, Andante shows you how your pace will change. Changing a goal You can change a goal’s amount, goal date, or rest days at any time, and the page previews the new plan before you save it. If you fall far enough behind that no reasonable pace will get you there by your goal date, Andante suggests a later goal date, a smaller amount, or a little of both. If the goal date isn’t yours to move, tell Andante to hold the goal firm, and it won’t suggest changes. Reading goals Andante won’t ask you for a fraction of a book. A reading goal gives you a date and a rhythm instead: “Read a book by Oct 14 · every 3 weeks.” Other goals that count whole things, like concerts or national parks, work the same way. Reading goals also have a bookshelf. Tell Andante what you’re reading and how long it is, and it asks for pages each day, or minutes for an audiobook: “Read 13 pages of Persuasion today.” Also included - Widgets for the Home Screen and Lock Screen - Morning and evening reminders, both off until you turn them on - An insights line at the top of your goal list that tells you which goal might need your attention first - Four themes (Concert Hall, Courtyard, Practice Room, and The Study), each in light and dark, with a matching app icon - iCloud sync across iPhone, iPad, and Mac, and backups you can save yourself - Sharing: send a card with your chart to an accountability partner, or a goal template link that helps your friends and family start the same goal - Five sample goals where you can try everything in Andante - A Guidebook that explains every feature Privacy Andante doesn’t collect anything about you or your goals. There’s no account to make, no ads, no analytics, and no tracking. Your goals live on your device and, if you’re signed in to iCloud, in your own private iCloud storage. Price Andante is free for two goals at a time, with every feature included. Goals you’ve finished or set aside don’t count toward the two, so finishing a goal always makes room for the next one. When you’d like a third, a one-time purchase unlocks unlimited goals. It isn’t a subscription, it works on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac, and it’s shared with your family through Family Sharing.
