Brainlist is your new calendar. If you are anything like me you tried HUNDREDS of calendars and went back to your notes app every. single. time. I got so sick of forgetting things, which is why I made Brainlist. Every entry shows up in a list AND your calendar. And on top it has everything other calendars have too. It's an all-in-one day planner that brings your calendar, tasks, quick notes, and focus time into one app, to remove distraction and clutter. PLAN YOUR DAY • A list view that shows your events and tasks in one timeline • A monthly calendar view showing events as well. Plus reminders, and multi-stage alerts (I know. What the notes app needed.) • Import events from your device calendars you already use (including linked Google/Exchange accounts) and easy Export if you want to switch back (bet you won't need it) GET THINGS DONE • And not only is there a simple List, we also have an Eisenhower importance/urgency Matrix (so you can finally pick which one to do first I swear it's a game changer), and a spin-the-wheel picker for when you can't decide what to start with (takes the overwhelming feeling of decision away) • You can keep task entries simple OR give notes, effort, time estimates, subtasks, and reminders • and lowkey the best feature: "Brain Dump" quickly capture type or dictate a thought and then you can get back to it later (the pro version takes your meeting transcripts and gives you an action list automatically!!!) STAY FOCUSED • For every task you can give a time estimate and start a Timed Focus sessions for calm, distraction-free work right in the app, no other apps needed and you can let the screen turn off while the timer keeps running!!! • Reusable task templates to implement your routines easily GROW YOUR GARDEN • Earn points, keep daily streaks, and watch your tree grow as you finish tasks SMART AI HELP (Brainlist Pro) • Suggested event times, instant task breakdowns, prep reminders, meeting-to-tasks, and personalized insights • Travel time: Brainlist checks how long it takes to reach your event and reminds you when to leave PLANT CARE (Brainlist Pro) • Track your actual houseplants with watering and feeding reminders PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Your data lives on your device and syncs through your own private iCloud, we can't read it • No ads.
