Keys, charger, one last thing before the meeting. Give the little things a place to go, so there is less to keep in your head. ReadyGo turns everyday tasks into colorful checklists. Add notes, mark what matters, and check things off as you go. Keep your lists in a tidy layout, or move them around an infinite canvas that you can pan and zoom. Start with a template for a familiar situation, or create and edit your own. When you use a template, its title, color, tasks, notes, and importance settings are copied into a new checklist. Make changes for today without changing the original template, then choose the dates and repeat settings you need. Plan a one-time task, keep a checklist active over a date range, or repeat it daily, on selected days of the week or month, or at an interval you choose. Turn on time reminders when you need them. Notifications require permission and depend on system settings and operating conditions. Home Screen widgets make today's lists easy to check at a glance. With membership, manually start a Live Activity to view progress on the Lock Screen and supported Dynamic Island devices, or open a read-only Picture in Picture list while using other apps. These features require device and system support. Items cannot be checked off inside Picture in Picture. Look back with monthly completion rates and a calendar heatmap. The full monthly review uses your recorded activity to highlight lists and dates worth a closer look. Choose your fonts and note colors, and enable optional iCloud sync. ReadyGo supports English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, French, and Russian. Membership is required for Live Activities, Picture in Picture, creating another checklist when the current day already has three, and the full monthly review.

Verdict

The call

Time Notes and ReadyGo both sit at 4.2 stars, but that hides the real split: 92% of ReadyGo's written reviews are positive against 75% of Time Notes's. ReadyGo also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). Time Notes's advantage is ratings volume (13 vs 2) and device support (5 vs 2). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Time Notes holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Time Notes has 13 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Time Notes's written reviews are positive against 92% of ReadyGo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Time Notes ships an update weekly, ReadyGo every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 9, 2026 respectively.
