Your notes, weekly plan, books and recipes โ not buried in folders, but on one infinite canvas. panonu is a personal digital board. Open a board per topic and drop everything you want to keep in plain sight onto it. TWENTY-ONE CARD TYPES Note, to-do, checklist, image, link, quote, habit, pomodoro, grocery list, expense, key date, table, weekly plan and more โ all on the same canvas, wherever you put them. COLLECTIONS โ THE END OF THE UNREACHABLE "SAVED" PILE Is your social media full of films to watch and books to read? Are dozens of recipes waiting to be cooked? Don't leave everything you saved there to rot. Books, Films, Series, Recipes, Places, Studies โ and a seventh one with no schema at all: Saved. Every record is searchable, taggable and sortable in your own order, so you never scroll a feed again to find that one film. Drop a book card onto any board and the record lands in your library in the background. You are never asked which folder a note belongs in. SAVE FROM THE SHARE SHEET Tap Share on a post, a page or a video and pick panonu: the link lands in Saved without opening the app. Offline, it waits in line and goes through once you're connected. TODAY The app opens on a welcome screen: today's habits, upcoming dates, open tasks, a recipe card that answers "what should I cook", and one record brought back from your collections. THE PART THAT BALANCES COLLECTING One untagged record a day: tag it, delete it, or leave it for later. No counter, no "remaining" โ this is not a debt notice. HABITS A habit card stores the day you marked, not the mark itself. Streaks, percentages and missed days are computed from that record and never stored separately. GROCERY LIST โ NOT PRICE, BUT RUNNING OUT Buying something doesn't remove it from the list; it postpones it. When you check a row you are asked "how many days will this last?", and the row comes back on its own. SHARING Turn a board into a single link โ as a copy or as a shared workspace. You decide who can edit and who can only look. ACROSS DEVICES Connect with Google or Apple and your boards stay the same on your phone and in the browser. You can also use the app as a guest, without connecting. REMINDERS STAY ON YOUR DEVICE Notifications come from the dates you type and are scheduled on the phone. The app never invents a reason to notify you. Turkish and English. Light and dark theme. No ads, no tracking, no subscription. You can delete your account and all your data from inside the app in one step.
