Note vs DoTree

Note-Due brings your notes and tasks together in one place. Write a note, create tasks inside it, set due dates, and get reminded. NOTES THAT DO MORE Rich text editing with bold, italic, highlights, checklists, code blocks, and more. Attach photos, scan documents, record voice memos, and embed video inline. Draw directly in notes with Apple Pencil or your finger — handwriting is automatically recognised and can be converted to typed text. TASKS BUILT INTO YOUR NOTES Create tasks inside any note, or add standalone tasks. Set due dates, priorities, and reminders. Use Quick Add with natural language — type "call James tomorrow at 9am high priority" and Note-Due handles the rest. Mark tasks as blocked by other tasks to map real dependencies. POWERFUL ORGANISATION Folders, subfolders, tags, and smart filters keep everything findable. Switch between Today, Upcoming, Overdue, All, and Inbox views. Toggle between list, agenda, calendar, and kanban layouts. Snooze tasks, pin notes, and search instantly. Home screen and Lock Screen widgets show what needs your attention right now. INBOX — CAPTURE FIRST, SCHEDULE LATER Add tasks without a date and they land in your Inbox. Review them when you're ready and schedule them out. Reduces friction when an idea strikes and you can't stop to plan. FOCUS MODE Block out distractions with a full-screen, dark view that shows only today's tasks. Work through them one by one. SIRI & SHORTCUTS Add tasks, check what's overdue, or mark something complete — all with your voice or from the Shortcuts app. A Control Centre button lets you quick-add from anywhere. IPAD & MULTI-WINDOW Open notes side-by-side with iPad Stage Manager. Pop any note into its own window. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your data lives on your device. No accounts, no servers, no tracking.

Drag cards between columns to update their status.

Most task apps flatten your life into a list. DoTree doesn't. Here you break a goal down as far as you actually think — from the big ambition to the next small step. Folders inside folders, like a file system. Everything draggable, like files. And when it's time to work, you never have to look at the tree: the Active view shows only what's due now. • A TREE, NOT A LIST: unlimited depth, projects with progress bars — weighted by effort if you want • WHAT'S ACTUALLY DUE: the Active view pulls today out of a thousand tasks, grouped by date or by priority • IMPORTANT, OR MERELY URGENT: an Eisenhower matrix separates the two — and shows what's allowed to wait • BEFORE YOU OVERCOMMIT: the Forecast adds up every day's hours and flags the ones where you've planned more than fits • SPEAK IT INSTEAD OF TYPING: say what's on your mind and DoTree turns it into a structured outline with dates and effort, on device, for you to review before anything is created • RECURRENCE THAT THINKS: fixed to a date even when things pile up, or starting over once you're done — weekdays, month days, multi-year rhythms • DATES THAT INHERIT: subtasks take start and due dates from above, with optional times • YOUR OWN ORDER: contexts with icons and colors, life areas, stars, and an idea store for everything that isn't a commitment yet • APPLE CALENDAR: task time spans appear as entries in dedicated DoTree calendars, and move along when your dates change • REMINDERS: push tasks to Apple Reminders and check them off on either side — done is done, everywhere • ATTACHMENTS: photos straight from the camera, voice notes, videos, files • BRING YOUR STUFF: import from MyLifeOrganized (XML), export everything as JSON whenever you like • EVERYWHERE YOU WORK: iPhone, iPad, and Mac — with a widget and optional Face ID lock YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS No account.
