A planning app with everything you need for managing your day, built for people who don't want their phone to be a distraction. Do you pick up your phone to check something and end up scrolling social media or videos? You have things to do, but every time you open your phone, you end up in unrelated apps. The developer struggled with this same procrastination problem, and that's how SyncNote was born. SyncNote connects your PC and phone through a web browser, reducing the reasons to open your phone and the chances of getting distracted. It's designed so you can plan on your PC and use your phone mainly for checking and quick input when you're out. Every detail of the UI and interactions has been carefully crafted so you can check what you need and close the app right away. SyncNote includes all the simple features you need for managing your day. - Calendar: Set up categories to manage your schedule and see what you need to do today - Diary: A calendar-linked diary where you can record and reflect on each day - TODO List: Simple task management to organize what needs to be done and get started without hesitation - Memo: Write down ideas and thoughts before you forget them - SyncNote AI (AI Assistant): AI can check your calendar, diary, and memo for anything you might be overlooking (available when enabled in settings) - SyncNote API: Your AI agent can read and write your events, diary, TODOs, and memos (API tokens are created in the settings of the web version) [Perfect for you if...] - You pick up your phone and end up opening unrelated apps - You make plans but forget them, or can't decide where to start - "I'll do it later" keeps piling up and you never look back - Switching between calendar, TODO, and notes apps is a hassle - You want AI to help you stay on top of your schedule - You want the AI agent you already use to check and add events for you [Why SyncNote helps you focus] - You can plan on your PC and check or input on your phone when you're out.
