Bullet vs HelloNotes

The journaling method you know from paper, built for your phone. Tasks, notes, events, and habits - captured in one place so nothing falls through the cracks. Stop juggling five different apps. Start with Bullet. "I've tried close to 20 productivity apps. This is the one I've been looking for." - rcghaseler HOW IT WORKS Open Bullet, tap +, and capture whatever's on your mind. A task for later, a note to remember, an event coming up, a habit to build. Everything lives on one timeline - organized by day, week, month, or year. Schedule entries, set reminders, add sub-tasks, group things into collections, and tag across projects. It's as simple or structured as you need it to be. DAILY LOG, FUTURE LOG, MIGRATION Rapid logging. A Daily Log for today, Weekly and Monthly Logs for planning ahead, and a Future Log for someday. Migration. Collections. If you keep this system in a paper notebook, you'll feel at home in minutes. If you don't, you'll pick it up just as fast - it's simply a quick way to capture and organize your thoughts. Everything the paper system does, without the limitations. Search your entries. Sync across devices. Set reminders. Work offline.

You can give more than once; the app remembers how many times. • Commercial — an annual licence for using HelloNotes at work. A$50 per year, an auto-renewable subscription charged to your Apple Account on confirmation and renewing each year unless turned off at least 24 hours before the period ends.
