Finalist vs FinishNote

Inspired by paper planners, Finalist shows your calendar, tasks, notes, reminders and weather forecast in one beautiful timeline. It even pulls in your Journal Suggestions and Activity Rings to keep you inspired. Gorgeous themes make planning a joy, not a chore. Finalist is built for people who finish things, no complex workflows or productivity theater. NOTES, IN YOUR PLANNER Your planner remembers what you wrote. A dedicated Notes tab gives you notebooks, tags and search. Keep native notes that sync over iCloud, or connect a folder of plain markdown files, including your Obsidian vault, and edit them in place. Tasks inside your markdown files become real Finalist tasks: dated, tagged and checkable anywhere in the app. YOUR DAY, ON YOUR WRIST The Apple Watch app puts your whole day one glance away: events, tasks, reminders and habits in one scrollable view, topped by a Now card that always knows what matters next. Check off pinned lists from the wrist, grocery list included, and add tasks by keyboard, scribble or dictation. Complications and a Smart Stack widget round it out. (Requires watchOS 26.) DESIGN YOUR DAY Choose between two Daily designs: Daybook, the classic stacked layout, or Broadsheet, a newsprint-inspired look that shines on iPad and Mac. Rearrange sections with the layout editor and save your own presets. On the rebuilt Timeline, drag tasks onto the grid to sketch your day in pencil, then commit when it's real. "I've tried dozens of planning apps, this is the one that finally works." - Beta user "The integration of Reminders and Lists reduces the apps I need daily and makes planning actually fun." - Beta user Built with native Apple technologies: no accounts to create, syncs over iCloud, supports Family Sharing, and runs on iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Vision Pro and Mac. Full database backup, export and import via JSON and OPML. Finalist is a love letter to paper planners.

Keep a record of what you accomplish. FinishNote helps you capture the things you do throughout the day. Add a checkpoint for today and mark it complete when you finish, or record something directly as completed. At the end of the day, you have a record of what you actually did. FOCUS ON TODAY FinishNote does not schedule tasks for future dates. There are no reminders, deadlines, streaks, or overdue-task alerts. Add checkpoints for today and check off what you finish. Unfinished checkpoints stay quietly in that day’s record. FILL IN YOUR PAST Forgot to record something you did yesterday or earlier? Add it to the right day. New checkpoints added to past dates are saved as completed and included in your statistics. ORGANIZE WITH LABELS Create your own labels for work, home, wellbeing, or any part of your life. Each new label receives a distinct color. Assign labels to checkpoints and filter your list to focus on a particular area. SEE YOUR PROGRESS The dashboard shows completed checkpoint counts, daily averages, active days, your busiest day, and label distribution for your selected period. The numbers show what you’ve done without scoring or judging you. REVISIT YOUR DAYS Choose a date in the calendar to see your checkpoints for that day. The number below each date shows how many checkpoints you completed. ICLOUD SYNC Checkpoints and labels can sync through your private iCloud database across supported devices signed in to the same Apple Account.
