Remind you what to do, not give you a countdown. You decide the pace of your life. Life is dynamic, and it cannot always be arranged neatly. Or perhaps, like the developer, you are tired of arrangements that make you feel pressured. When you think of something, write it down. When the time comes, let BeanDo remind you. How long you spend on it is up to you. You don’t need to divide your day into a packed timetable, or plan every minute in advance. BeanDo is here to give you more freedom to manage your time. Open BeanDo. Just look at today. When you open the app, you see today first. What you need to do today, what you’ve already completed, and what needs your special attention are all gathered here. You don’t need to organize a complicated plan before starting your day. Relax, and let yourself find your own pace. Some things need to be done; some things just need to be known. For things you need to complete, set a time and a repeat pattern, and BeanDo will remind you when the time comes. For things that don’t need to be completed and only need to be known, put them in “Things to Know”. Take a look, and you’ll know. Where is your manager going? Which meeting are they attending? What should you know for a work handover? These are things you may only need to know, and they don’t necessarily need to become a to-do. Both types of items support image, document, and other attachments, so important information and its context can stay together. SmallDo · Little receipts for everyday life Pickup codes, food collection codes, and other information that you only need to use briefly. Press the side button once to quickly save it. Record it, check it whenever you need it, and delete it when you’re done. Not every piece of information needs your long-term attention. Reminders that fit your way of life BeanDo supports multiple reminder options. Whether something happens on a fixed schedule or only occasionally, you can set it according to your own pace. Supports one-time, daily, specific days of the week, workday, alternating-week, monthly, yearly, and interval reminders. When setting a workday reminder, BeanDo can also adjust it according to public holidays and adjusted working days in the selected region, reducing the need for manual changes. Currently supported in Mainland China, Hong Kong, Japan, and South Korea, with support for more countries and regions coming next. Smart Date Recognition · Pro+ Just write down what comes to mind. BeanDo can recognize date information in your text and help you set a reminder. You don’t need to choose a date first and then enter the content. Write down your thought, and let BeanDo set the date for you. Make BeanDo fit you Customize your theme, reminder preferences, and more. With a simple design, flexible reminders, and iCloud data synchronization, BeanDo stays simple while adapting to the way you choose to use it. BeanDo Pro / Pro+ BeanDo’s basic features are available to use directly. Pro provides additional advanced features. Pro+ builds on Pro with Smart Date Recognition and other advanced features. Subscriptions are automatically renewed through the Apple App Store. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account’s subscription settings. If a free trial is included with the subscription, canceling during the trial period will not result in a charge. * To use workday reminders based on regional holidays and adjusted working days, you need to allow calendar access and subscribe to the public holiday calendar for the selected region in your system calendar.
