Post Notes

Read full description

How much do you remember from yesterday's meeting? What about last Tuesday's? If you're like most people, the details start fading within minutes. Post Notes fixes this by integrating with your calendar and automatically sending a reminder after every meeting, prompting you to take notes, add to-dos, and attach relevant files while the conversation is still fresh in your mind. No more scrambling to recall what was discussed. No more forgotten action items. Just a simple, timely nudge that helps you to turn every meeting into something useful. HOW IT WORKS Post Notes syncs with your device's calendar and detects when meetings end. You'll receive a notification reminding you to capture what matters: a quick note, a follow-up task, or a file you referenced during the call. It takes seconds, and it makes all the difference. CAPTURE WHAT MATTERS Write brief meeting notes in your own words. Add to-do items so action items never slip through the cracks. Attach images directly to any meeting entry. Everything stays organized and tied to the meeting it came from. FIND ANYTHING, FAST Search and filter your past meeting notes by date, keyword, or meeting title. Whether you need to recall a decision from last month or find that file from a client call, Post Notes makes it effortless. SHARE AND EXPORT Need to send meeting notes to your team?

PlanTodo — A Smarter Way to Manage Tasks and Recurring Plans PlanTodo is a cross-platform to-do app designed for multiple devices. It doesn’t just help you track tasks — it helps you automatically plan the future. Unlike traditional to-do apps, PlanTodo clearly separates Tasks and Plans: - Tasks: one-time to-dos - Plans: rule-based systems that continuously generate tasks You can use it as a simple to-do list, or unlock its full power by letting recurring work take care of itself. --- Flexible and Powerful Planning System PlanTodo goes far beyond typical recurring task features: Basic Rules - Daily / every n days - Specific weekdays (e.g., Monday, Friday) - Fixed dates each month or year Advanced Rules - The last Saturday of each month - The second Monday every two months - The nth day from the end of the year Advanced Automation - Trigger based on other plans (e.g., 3 days before another plan) - Multi-level dependencies (plans can trigger one another in chains) - Combined conditions (trigger when any or all conditions are met) Fine-Grained Control - Exclude specific dates - Automatic postponement (e.g., skip workdays and trigger on the next non-working day) - Auto enable / disable / delete - Sleep cycles (skip a set number of triggers before activating) Set up complex long-term schedules once, and let them run automatically. --- Efficient Task Management Everything you expect from a modern task manager: - Add, edit, duplicate, delete, and restore tasks - Rich attributes: date, start time, reminders, duration, color, and more - Supports subtasks, allowing complex tasks to be broken down for step-by-step progress while maintaining an overall view. - Supports task timer to track the actual time spent on tasks from the task details page. Tasks generated by plans eliminate the need to repeatedly create the same items. Tasks can also inherit parent-child relationships from plans. With the timeline enabled, you can quickly identify time conflicts through the red sections and find available time through the transparent sections, helping you arrange tasks more efficiently. A current time indicator on timeline clearly shows daily progress and the flow of time. --- Progress Tracking Without Pressure PlanTodo focuses on cumulative progress, not daily perfection. For example: - Set a goal like “Read for 30 minutes a day” - Completing 20 minutes isn’t a failure — the gap is recorded - Catch up later to stay on track overall This approach makes long-term goals more sustainable and less stressful. Supports tracking by both time spent and completion count. Three charts are available to help you track your progress: Balance, Total Completed, and Daily Completed, giving you a clear and intuitive view of how your progress changes over time. --- Multi-device sync Privacy-first, local-first. * End-to-end encrypted * Only your devices can read your data * Even the server can't decrypt it --- Continuously Evolving - Basic search is available, with advanced filtering on the way - Supports notes, enabling one-stop management of tasks and ideas. - Supports images, making it easy to capture moments and quickly recall information later. --- Website: https://plantodo.app/
