Brainlist Calendar
Read full descriptionHide full description
Brainlist is your new calendar. If you are anything like me you tried HUNDREDS of calendars and went back to your notes app every. single. time. I got so sick of forgetting things, which is why I made Brainlist. Every entry shows up in a list AND your calendar. And on top it has everything other calendars have too. It's an all-in-one day planner that brings your calendar, tasks, quick notes, and focus time into one app, to remove distraction and clutter. PLAN YOUR DAY • A list view that shows your events and tasks in one timeline • A monthly calendar view showing events as well. Plus reminders, and multi-stage alerts (I know. What the notes app needed.) • Import events from your device calendars you already use (including linked Google/Exchange accounts) and easy Export if you want to switch back (bet you won't need it) GET THINGS DONE • And not only is there a simple List, we also have an Eisenhower importance/urgency Matrix (so you can finally pick which one to do first I swear it's a game changer), and a spin-the-wheel picker for when you can't decide what to start with (takes the overwhelming feeling of decision away) • You can keep task entries simple OR give notes, effort, time estimates, subtasks, and reminders • and lowkey the best feature: "Brain Dump" quickly capture type or dictate a thought and then you can get back to it later (the pro version takes your meeting transcripts and gives you an action list automatically!!!) STAY FOCUSED • For every task you can give a time estimate and start a Timed Focus sessions for calm, distraction-free work right in the app, no other apps needed and you can let the screen turn off while the timer keeps running!!! • Reusable task templates to implement your routines easily GROW YOUR GARDEN • Earn points, keep daily streaks, and watch your tree grow as you finish tasks SMART AI HELP (Brainlist Pro) • Suggested event times, instant task breakdowns, prep reminders, meeting-to-tasks, and personalized insights • Travel time: Brainlist checks how long it takes to reach your event and reminds you when to leave PLANT CARE (Brainlist Pro) • Track your actual houseplants with watering and feeding reminders PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Your data lives on your device and syncs through your own private iCloud, we can't read it • No ads. No tracking. Sign in with Apple. BRAINLIST PRO Unlock AI planning, plant care, and full-day insights. You can subscribe Weekly, Monthly, or Yearly, each with a 7-day free trial.
