LYS is an all-in-one planner: a calendar and to-dos, the dates you're waiting for, goals, notes, and a journal, together in one private app. Plan your day in the order you'll actually live it, from school drop-off to practice at five. Count down to birthdays and trips, watch your goals add up, and end each night with five questions about your day. Everything you write is end-to-end encrypted, so it stays yours alone. SCHEDULE Your to-dos and your events, together in one day and numbered in the order you'll do them. Drag them where you want them, and tap a number to complete it. Set a reminder on any to-do, and LYS can send you your plan each morning. Make a to-do repeat on the days you choose, and your routine keeps its order from one day to the next. Your events sync automatically with Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, and Outlook. IMPORTANT DATES The days you're waiting for, on a timeline from today: a trip, a school play, an anniversary. A date can come back every year. Bring in birthdays from your contacts, see how old everyone is turning, and see each one coming a week ahead. LYS can remind you a month, a week, and a day ahead, and on the day itself. GOALS A goal is a number: dollars saved, books read, a balance paid down. Tell LYS where you are and where you want to get to, add a step each time you move, and watch the bar fill. A to-do can count toward a goal, so checking it off moves the number for you. Quitting something? Count the days without it. If you slip, start over, and write down what will help next time. Write down why you're quitting, so the reason is there when you need it. NOTES Every list and idea in one place, sorted from A to Z, in folders inside folders. Checklists, a grocery list that remembers your usuals, and a search only you can run. Lock the private ones with Face ID. JOURNAL Before you go to bed, record your day by answering five questions. Then rewind to any day to see what was on your mind. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything you write is end-to-end encrypted with a key only you hold. Our servers store your words as ciphertext we can't read. If you use LYS without an account, your planner never leaves your iPhone or iPad. EVERYWHERE YOU ARE iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch, Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets that stay up to date, and Siri to add a to-do. Choose from 54 Paper Colors, and the whole app, even the icon, changes to match. YOURS TO KEEP Your planner works without a connection. Once you create an account, it syncs and backs up quietly, and you can export everything as Markdown or PDF anytime. FREE TO START Try LYS for free! If you love it, upgrade to LYS Unlimited.

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Bullet Note sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and LYS sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $10.00 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Bullet Note against 5.0 for LYS. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LYS has 14 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
Bullet Note ships an update every 6 days, LYS daily. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
