PenDate Notes
Read full descriptionHide full description
A digital planner, calendar notes and journal in one app. Plan by date, write by hand, and keep every note with the day it matters. PenDate Notes brings your calendar, notes, to-do lists and handwritten pages together. Keep a meeting note with the day it happened, a packing list with your trip, or a sketch beside the date you want to come back to. PLAN BY DATE Move between year, month, week and day views. Add events with times, repeats and reminders, and see your PenDate events in your phone's calendar app if you choose. WRITE, CHECK OFF OR SKETCH Choose a text note, a checklist or a handwriting canvas. Take study notes, plan meals, sketch ideas or keep a shopping list with quantities and totals. Write with a stylus or your finger, with pens, highlighters and a smooth eraser. FOCUS ON WHAT MATTERS Sort notes and tasks into Do now, Plan, Handle and Later. Drag them between categories, switch between Cards and Compact views, and use filters to see one folder, tag or kind of note at a time. DIGITAL PLANNERS AND JOURNALS Write in beautiful planner and journal pages for every part of life: everyday planning, daily life, work sprints, study, wellness and habits, budget and savings, fitness, travel, gratitude, creative work, home and meals. Tappable links jump straight to the page you need. FIND IT AGAIN Search your notes, checklists and canvas text. Organise with folders, tags, covers and Archive, and restore deleted notes from the Recycle Bin. SYNC AND BACK UP Turn on optional Google Drive sync to keep your library on your other devices.

NeuraTiM Checklist
Read full descriptionHide full description
Make a checklist for packing, chores, or the trip ahead, then reuse it whenever you need it. Free to use, with offline checklists and no account to create. Start with a ready-made template, paste a list, or create a quick checklist. Choose the approach that suits youβthere's no need to build everything item by item. Reusable templates Add photos, notes, tags, and required, optional, or conditional items. Create a template once, then start a fresh checklist whenever you need it. In progress and history Leave a checklist unfinished and pick it up later. It stays in progress until you finish or delete it. Finished checklists move to history. Flexible reminders Get a reminder to start a checklist or finish one in progress. Repeat daily, weekly, monthly, on weekdays, on selected days, or at intervals of days or weeksβor set a one-off reminder. Search and tags Filter templates by tag and find checklists by name. Less scrolling, even as your collection grows. Conditional items Make an item required only when it matters: the charger, for example, when you're taking the laptop. Combine rules with AND and OR; they update as you check things off. Either/or choices Need a tent or a hammock? Set alternatives so checking one meets the requirement. Keep essentials covered without ticking every option. Core checklists work offline with no account or analytics. Optional feedback needs internet; dictation may use online speech processing. Every feature is free. You can support the NeuraTiM project once or monthly; support unlocks nothing.
