Then vs DMS Notes

"Then" keeps a short list - today, and only today. Finish a task, and add the next step. Your tasks quietly link into a path. The path keeps going until the work is done. When you're ready to think bigger, the paths climb toward your peaks — the long things you care about. - Today. Inbox. Peaks. - Tasks that connect. - One step at a time.

Pay once - no in app purchases or subscriptions. Data Management Systems (DMS) Notes brings the clarity of a professional document register to everyday notes and reminders.
