Most notes apps are a drawer. You put things in, and they sit there until you remember to go dig them out. Dodo hands them back. Notes, to-dos, voice memos, and reminders — the usual stuff, in one place, with no workspaces or nested folders to set up. Tag a note if you want; ignore tags entirely if you don't. Open it and write. No account needed to start. THE PART THAT'S DIFFERENT Dodo's Today screen isn't a list you keep up. Dodo fills it for you, bringing notes back when they actually matter: • A reminder, right when it's due — and again tonight if you let it slide • The note about a friend, the morning you've got lunch with them on your calendar • A note tied to a place, when you're near it • A birthday, a day before it sneaks up on you • "I'll send you that link" — back in front of you, so you actually do • A draft you started and forgot, before it goes stale It guesses from time, place, your calendar, and what you wrote — and sometimes it guesses wrong. Every source has an off switch in Settings, so Dodo only watches what you want it to. WHAT'S INSIDE • Notes — a clean editor, no formatting menus to fight with • Checklists — say "milk, eggs, bread" and each one becomes a checkbox • Reminders — or just say it: "remind me to call mom tomorrow at 3pm" • Voice memos — one tap to record, even from inside a note you're already writing • Tags — one colored pill to group what you want, if you want. No hierarchy to maintain. • Today — everything Dodo surfaced, plus what's due and overdue. Swipe a row to check it off, snooze it, or push it to tomorrow. • Ask Dodo — ask a question, get an answer from your own notes. "What was I supposed to bring to the picnic?" (Dodo's a small bird doing its best, so it can miss.) • Home Widget — what's due at a glance, plus one tap to jot a note or start a memo A FREE ACCOUNT ADDS • Ask Dodo across your notes • Voice transcription — memos turned into searchable text • Cloud backup, so nothing's stuck on one phone ===== Questions or feedback? hello@dodonotes.app
