An application for smartphones that allows you to take notes, plan your activities with to-do lists and make a shopping list or event preparation list. Manage your activity by scheduling notes on time and being reminded in a flexible way according to selected priorities. The core feature is to attach a location to a note and be reminded when you are near the place. In further releases, we plan to add the ability to share notes with a specific group of people, whether they are family members, colleagues, or friends. Also, we want to integrate beacons to be reminded in a specific way, and to synchronise an application with Google Calendar personal and/or working as well. Our goals are to help you - to achieve accomplishing of to-do list more effectively; - to reduce the number of undone tasks; - to increase attention to high-priority tasks; - to enhance new positive habits to doing things right away; - to delegate tasks by sharing them with family, friends, colleagues, etc. Stay in touch and report your feedback and found bugs for our mutual success.

Cronnote is the reminder app for the recurring obligations that actually matter ā rent you collect, bills you pay, doctor appointments, and pet medications. Unlike a to-do list, every item is one CHAIN with its whole history: each occurrence keeps its own date, note, and photos, so you can trust it a year later. WHY CRONNOTE IS DIFFERENT ⢠Never goes silent ā overdue items nag once every morning until you act, with a bold "3 days late" on the card. No more single reminders you miss and forget. ⢠One item = the whole story ā snap the paper appointment slip or the payment slip onto the visit it belongs to. Photos and notes per occurrence, past and upcoming, all editable later. ⢠Counts periods and days, never amounts ā "2 periods owed Ā· 34 days late", grace periods, mark-paid one period at a time. A reminder, not accounting. ⢠Repeats from when you actually did it ā pet meds every 2 months counted from the real dose date, the repeat-after-completion that other apps refuse to ship. ⢠Lives in the real world ā mirror your dates into Calendar, see busy days when picking the next date, optional email reminders BUILT FOR Owner-operators of a few real obligations ā landlords with a handful of units, pet owners on scheduled meds, anyone tracking recurring appointments. Fast two-tap date entry, large readable dates, one-handed. ALSO INSIDE ⢠Two simple ways to add: pick each date yourself, or set a repeating rhythm. ⢠Notes with tappable checklists + global search. ⢠Passcode / Face ID lock. ⢠Export your data anytime ā JSON (restorable), CSV (for your records), or calendar (.ics). ⢠English and Thai, with Thai Buddhist-era dates. Your data is yours: sign in, sync across your devices, delete everything anytime. No ads. Reminders only ā never accounting.
