Easy Notes is a simple and clear local plan management app that helps you break goals into actionable items and complete them step by step by checking them off. You can create plans with a start date and end date, choose to complete the tasks once within the period, or repeat them every day. Each plan shows a segmented progress bar, completed item count, and percentage, so your progress is easy to see at a glance. Completed plans are saved to completion records; if a plan is still unfinished after its end date, it is saved to failure records. You can also review the reason for failure, recreate the plan, and challenge it again. Easy Notes does not require an account, and all data is stored only on your device. It is suitable for managing study, reading, fitness, water drinking, sleep, daily habits, and short-term goals. Now available for everyone to use, free for a limited time during the promotion period!
