Top Note

Top Note is a widget-first productivity app that keeps you focused on what’s next—literally one thing at a time. Instead of endless to-do lists you never look at, Top Note presents you with a single reminder, flashcard, or note right on your Home Screen widget. If you’re ready, mark it complete. If not, skip it—but you’ll see it again even sooner thanks to our spaced repetition system. This keeps important tasks and knowledge top-of-mind without overwhelming you. Perfect for: • People who ignore traditional reminders. • Habit building and routine reinforcement. • Quick study sessions with confidence-rated flashcards. • Keeping a simple note or mantra visible all day. Features: • One-at-a-time reminders — No scrolling, no distraction. • Skip & repeat — Skipped items return sooner, so you can’t forget. • Spaced repetition flashcards — Boost memory and recall. • Widget-first design — Most interactions happen right from your Home Screen. • Flexible note support — Keep quotes, mantras, or micro-goals handy. • Simple setup in the main app — Then live in the widget. Why it works: Top Note uses gentle friction to keep you accountable. There’s no endless list to cherry-pick from—you must either complete the next thing or face it again soon.
