The Agenda gathers everything due, grouped by day – today at the top, the rest of the week just below. Write the way you think Rich text with checklists, tables, code blocks, inline drawings, and backlinks. Reach everything through Markdown, slash commands, or the keyboard. No friction between the thought and the page. Sketch it out, right inside the note A built-in Excalidraw canvas lets you draw diagrams, wireframes, or quick sketches – embedded inline, synced encrypted, no separate tool required.
