Houseful vs CommonNote

One calendar for the whole family. See who's doing what today, ask who can make it, know when to leave, and keep the grocery list where everyone can see it. EVERYONE, ON THE SAME PAGE Put your household in a circle and everyone sees the same plans, each person in their own color. Add a photo so everyone knows it's you. Keep a Personal circle just for you, and add circles for grandparents, a partner or friends planning a trip. KNOW WHEN TO LEAVE Give an event a place and Houseful works out the drive with Apple Maps, traffic included, then tells you when to head out, with one tap for directions. Choose a countdown on your Lock Screen, a single notification, or nothing at all. INVITE THEM WITH A TEXT Tap Text them an invite and send it the way you'd send anything else. They can join right in their browser, then get the app. Or type their email instead. SNAP A FLYER, GET THE DATES Take a photo or a screenshot of a school flyer, a team schedule or a text. Houseful finds every date, and you pick which to add. Snap a handwritten grocery list and it lands in Lists. FOLLOW THE TEAM'S SCHEDULE Got a calendar link from a team app, a school or a league? Add it once and the games land on your family's calendar and stay up to date: new ones appear, moved ones move, canceled ones come off. JUST SAY IT Tap the mic and say "Noah's soccer game Saturday at 9." Houseful knows your family's names and reads times the way people say them. ASK WHO'S COMING Adding an event to a circle doesn't buzz everyone. Tap the people you want to ask and see who can make it at a glance. If someone's already busy then, Houseful tells you while you pick the time. SEND IT TO ANYONE Text any event or list to anyone, even if they don't use Houseful. They see it on a simple page and can add it to their own calendar. Turn the link off whenever you like. REMINDERS THAT COME BACK Choose how much help each reminder needs: keep it in the app, get one notification, or have it come back until you mark it done. Tap Done right from the notification, and see the ones still to come on Today. LISTS AND IDEAS Shared grocery, to-do and wishlist lists show who already got it. Put a list on your Home Screen and check things off right there. Save the restaurant someone mentioned, a gift idea or a plan for the weekend, and filter them by circle and kind. BIRTHDAYS AND HOLIDAYS Add a birthday once and it comes back every year; birthdays you bring in from Apple Calendar do too. US holidays and major religious holidays show up on their own, or turn them off. MAKE IT YOURS Events stand out in their own color. Scroll the months up and down or swipe sideways, tap the title to jump to any day, and add a background: a live scene that follows the time of day, or your own photos. YOUR WEEK, EVERYWHERE Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, a morning summary at the hour you choose, and a read-only link for Apple or Google Calendar. Import events from Apple Calendar. Made for iPhone Duo, on the outer screen or open. Scanning sends only the content you choose to Houseful and Anthropic to find event details. Calendar import reads only the calendars you choose. Voice input uses Apple's speech recognition, and Houseful doesn't keep the audio. Time to leave works out the drive on your iPhone, from where you are or a home address you enter; Houseful only gets the drive time. Houseful is built by one person. The address on the support page reaches the person who wrote the code. No ads. No trackers. Nothing sold or rented. Nothing in the app is behind a paywall today. If a paid tier ever arrives, everything that works right now stays free, and anyone already using Houseful keeps what they have. Notifications need the iPhone app. The web version can't send them yet.

Bring your notes and your next steps together. Turn meeting notes into tasks, put deadlines on your calendar, and keep team discussions connected to the original work. CommonNote brings writing, planning, projects, and collaboration into one workspace for personal plans, study, creative work, and teams. WRITE THE WAY YOUR WORK NEEDS Capture a quick idea or build a detailed document with headings, checklists, tables, images, files, code, and equations. Organize your notes in nested notebooks, add tags, and keep frequently used notes in Favorites. GIVE EVERY TASK ITS CONTEXT Add an owner, due date, and status to the tasks in your notes. Follow the work in a list, on a board, or in a calendar, and open the original note when you need the details. Set up recurring tasks for work that comes around again. SEE THE PROJECT FROM MORE THAN ONE ANGLE Explore projects, notebooks, notes, and tasks in a hierarchy. Use relationship maps to connect ideas and references. Switch to structured tables to sort, filter, and group work with custom properties, formulas, and rollups. WORK TOGETHER ON THE SAME RECORD Edit shared notes at the same time and see your colleagues' cursors. Leave comments, assign work, request a review, or hand a task over with its background intact. Use personal and team conversations to coordinate without losing the record that started the discussion. KEEP GOING ON IPHONE AND IPAD Add updates and photos while you are away from your desk, check today's tasks, and continue with the same workspace on Mac or in a browser. Previously opened notes remain editable offline and synchronize after you reconnect. GO DEEPER WHEN THE WORK CALLS FOR IT Research notes can include figures, captions, mathematical expressions, and chemical formulas. Built-in tools help calculate molecular weights, moles, concentrations, and dilutions without leaving your notes. KEEP YOUR WORK ORGANIZED AND PORTABLE Find material across notes, tasks, projects, and attachments. Review saved versions and restore an earlier note when needed. Import existing Markdown files, export notes, and download a workspace backup. GET STARTED CommonNote is free to download and free to use. This version has no in-app purchases or paid plans.
