Finalist vs JihoVault

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.

JihoVault opens a Markdown folder you already own — in OneDrive, on a WebDAV server, or on the device — and turns it into a fast, searchable notebook on iPhone and iPad. Your notes stay ordinary text files. Nothing is locked inside a database, and nothing passes through a server of ours, because there is no such server. CONNECT THE VAULT YOU ALREADY HAVE • OneDrive — sign in with your Microsoft account and choose a folder. No add-on, and no copying of the whole drive onto the phone. • WebDAV — your own NAS or server. Type the address and password, test the connection, and you are in. • On My iPhone and iCloud Drive — any folder the Files app can reach. BUILT FOR A VAULT THAT IS ALREADY BIG • The first sync reads the Markdown text so search works with no connection. After that, only what changed comes down. • Search looks inside words, not only at their edges, so Korean and other languages that do not break on spaces are found properly. • Aliases in front matter are indexed, so links written in your own language still resolve. WRITE THE WAY YOU THINK • Live Markdown — headings, bold, quotes, code, and tables take shape as you type, with the marks kept out of the way. • [[Wiki links]] with completion, and backlinks that show you what points here. • Checklists you tick by tapping, lists that carry on by themselves, and keyboard shortcuts on iPad. A MEETING, CAUGHT WHOLE • Record while you take notes. Tap a line afterwards and the playback jumps to the moment you wrote it. • Transcription runs on the device. • The recording is saved inside your own vault, beside the note. REAL FILE MANAGEMENT Swipe a row to rename, copy, move, or delete. Press and hold to pick several at once. Deleted items go to a trash folder inside the vault, so you can bring them back. PRIVACY No account to create, no usage tracking, no advertising, and no server of ours. Passwords and sign-in tokens live in the iOS Keychain on your device. Free. Nothing to buy inside.
