Your events, to-dos and notes for a single day, together on one page. Each page shows a calendar, then that day's events, then your note, in that order. You can see your schedule while you write. Events and reminders come from the Calendar and Reminders apps already on your device, so you never enter anything twice. Along with text, photos go on the same page. To-dos you didn't finish can be moved to tomorrow's page together. Free to use, with an optional Pro subscription. โ–  One day, one page Drag the divider to give more room to your events or to your notes, depending on the day. Type a checkbox into the note and it becomes today's to-do. Search runs across events, reminders and notes at once, so old pages stay findable. Swipe left or right for yesterday and tomorrow. โ–  Keeps the calendar you already use Your iCloud, Google and Exchange accounts appear the moment you open the app โ€” nothing to import, nothing to abandon. Calendars can be created, reordered and shared from inside the app, and other calendar apps keep working alongside it. โ–  Write whatever the day needs Add photos straight to the page. Checkboxes, lists, five highlight colours and formatting such as bold, underline and strikethrough are all there. Use the page as a journal, as meeting notes, as a health log, as lecture notes โ€” the format is yours to decide. โ–  Nothing falls off the page Overdue reminders and unfinished to-dos left on earlier pages are gathered into a single list. Move them to today or tomorrow in one step. The number left can be shown as a badge on the app icon. โ–  Two columns, spreads and widgets On a larger screen, work in two columns with the calendar on one side and the note on the other, or open a two-day spread. Everything stays in sync across your devices. Eight widgets show today's events, note, to-dos or month, and to-dos can be ticked off without opening the app. โ–  Print it, if you want to keep it Export any range of days as PDF or Markdown. PDF pages are laid out for paper in A4, A5, B5 or US Letter, so they can be printed and filed in a binder. โ–  Set up the way you keep a calendar Choose a holiday calendar, the first day of the week, separate colours for Saturday and Sunday, and the hours your day begins and ends. Page colour and text size are adjustable, and days holding an event from a particular calendar can be given a page colour of their own. FirstSeed Planner Pro (subscription) - Sync across all your devices - Automatic iCloud backup - Weather on the page - Quick actions from the app icon - Badge on the app icon Everything else is free.
