Bujo Notes ist ein digitales Bullet Journal mit echtem analogem Look & Feel. Schreibe Aufgaben, Notizen und Termine auf ein sauberes Punktraster — strukturiert wie auf Papier, aber durchsuchbar und synchronisiert. ANALOGE SIGNALE Tippe das Signal einer Aufgabe an, um den Status weiterzuschalten: offen, in Arbeit, erledigt (bleibt sichtbar), delegiert oder Termin — dazu reine Notizen. Erledigtes verschwindet nie. DEINE LISTEN • Today, Next und Someday — Einträge per Wisch verschieben. • Projekte bündeln zusammengehörige Aufgaben. • Monats-Tracker als Punktraster für Gewohnheiten. HANDGEMACHT • Skizzen und Sticker pro Seite — mit Apple Pencil oder Finger. • Prioritäten und Ideen markieren. DEINE DATEN GEHÖREN DIR • Kein Account, kein Login. • iCloud-Markdown-Sync: deine Seiten als sichtbare .md-Dateien in iCloud Drive oder einem selbst gewählten Ordner — kompatibel mit Obsidian. • Lokal gespeichert, optional über iCloud synchronisiert. FÜR IPHONE & IPAD • Home-Screen-Widgets für Today, Next, Someday und Projekte. • iPad: Drei-Spalten-Ansicht Today / Next / Someday.
