An application for smartphones that allows you to take notes, plan your activities with to-do lists and make a shopping list or event preparation list. Manage your activity by scheduling notes on time and being reminded in a flexible way according to selected priorities. The core feature is to attach a location to a note and be reminded when you are near the place. In further releases, we plan to add the ability to share notes with a specific group of people, whether they are family members, colleagues, or friends.

Our goals are to help you - to achieve accomplishing of to-do list more effectively; - to reduce the number of undone tasks; - to increase attention to high-priority tasks; - to enhance new positive habits to doing things right away; - to delegate tasks by sharing them with family, friends, colleagues, etc. Stay in touch and report your feedback and found bugs for our mutual success.
