Every event detail in one place — nothing buried in a notebook, chats and notes. If you run events for a living, you know the failure: the client's number is in one app, the venue in another, the call time in your head, and the payment you forgot to chase. EventNote pulls every moving part of an event into a single record, so nothing falls through the cracks. Build each event from the blocks you need. • Location — pin the venue on a map • Contacts — attach clients and tap straight into Telegram, Instagram, or Maps • Tasks — your prep checklist and to-dos per event • Reminders — call times and deadlines that actually notify you • Payment — track the price and what's been paid • Gallery & notes — references, documents, and everything else Plan around the daylight. The built-in Sun Tracker shows the sun's position on a map for any location and date, with a golden-hour timeline — so outdoor events are timed to the light, not guesswork. Stay on top of everything. • Deadlines view keeps every commitment on track • Statistics show your busiest months, income, and event types • Home Screen widget puts your next event one glance away Everywhere you work. iCloud keeps everything in sync — start on iPhone, finish on Mac with the free companion app. Free to start.
