Note Calendar
Read full descriptionHide full description
Plan your day as notes, each with the time it matters. Note Calendar reminds you at that time — or rings a real alarm that reaches you on silent and in a Focus. Today's list keeps your notes in time order. Tomorrow is one swipe away, so you can prepare the next day before it starts, and everything you write is kept in a searchable archive. WHAT SETS IT APART • Alarm notes — any note can ring as a full alarm, not a notification. It gets through on silent, in Do Not Disturb and in any Focus, for the things you cannot afford to miss. • Routines — enter what you do every day, or only on the weekdays you choose, and the note is created automatically each morning. Edit or delete any of them; routines never overwrite what you wrote yourself. • Voice notes — record when typing is impractical. Recordings are transcribed into readable text on the device itself and never leave it. • Streaks based on completion — the counter moves only when you actually finish a note, so it measures your day rather than your app usage. PLANNING • Notes with a reminder time, listed in the order the day runs • Mark notes complete as you go • Swipe to tomorrow and schedule there just as quickly • Copy, edit or delete any note • Optional daily reminder at an hour you set, skipped automatically on days you have already written or completed a note PROGRESS AND STATISTICS • Completion rate, current streak and a 14-day activity map • Monthly trend, your most productive time of day and strongest weekday • Note sources: created by a routine or written by you • Records: longest streak, best day, total completed, days with notes HOME SCREEN WIDGET See today's notes, their times and their status without opening the app. Note text can be hidden if you would rather not have it readable at a glance. PRIVACY Your notes are stored on your device. App Lock requires Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode on every launch. Voice recordings are stored and transcribed locally. NOTE CALENDAR PREMIUM The free version takes 3 notes a day, keeps 2 routines, allows 1 alarm note a day and opens the last 30 days of your archive.
