Notes and lists that organize themselves by day. Focus on today, plan for tomorrow, and let old notes archive automatically. Clarity, without constant re-sorting. Most note apps slowly turn into clutter. Today Notes is designed to prevent that. Instead of forcing you to manually organize lists and folders, Today Notes uses time as the organizing system. Notes naturally move forward from Tomorrow to Today, then archive based on their date, keeping your short-term priorities visible while older notes quietly move out of the way. How it works: • Today stays front and center. Everything that matters now is easy to see and act on. • Tomorrow becomes Today automatically. Plan ahead without building a backlog, when the day arrives your notes are already there. • Automatic archiving. Notes from the past roll off on their own, keeping your workspace uncluttered. • Pin what shouldn’t move. Keep important notes visible until you decide otherwise. Your notes stay up to date across all your devices with built-in iCloud syncing, automatically. Today Notes is free to download but requires a purchase to activate. You can choose from a one-time purchase to unlock it forever, or a monthly subscription. Any purchase unlocks Today Notes on iOS, iPadOS, and macOS. – Privacy Policy https://www.todaynotesapp.com/#privacy Terms of Use https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
