Doodle Schedule โ€” Your Calendar, Your Canvas A new kind of doodle calendar, designed iPhone-first โ€” and fully at home on iPad too. Doodle Schedule turns your monthly calendar into a handwritten journal. Instead of typing plain events into boxes, draw, write, and decorate your days the way you would on paper โ€” but with the flexibility of digital. Draw and write, right on the calendar Use Apple Pencil or your finger to sketch, highlight, and jot notes directly on any month or day. Add typed text in a choice of fonts (including several bundled Chinese calligraphy styles), sized and coloured however you like. Photos and stickers, your way Drop in photos from your library, resize and rotate them freely, and decorate with floral, black-and-white, or botanical sticker sets โ€” or import your own custom image stickers. A page that feels like paper Choose from blank, cream, grid, lined, dot-grid, and more background styles for both your month and day pages โ€” so your calendar can look and feel exactly the way you want. See your real schedule too Doodle Schedule can show your existing Calendar events alongside your handwriting, so nothing gets lost between your plans and your doodles. Keep it, everywhere, forever Everything syncs privately across your own devices through your own iCloud account. Export any month or day as an image, or generate a full PDF keepsake of your whole journal โ€” perfect for printing or archiving. Private by design Lock the app with Face ID or Touch ID. Your journal never touches our servers โ€” because we don't have any. Unlock the full app with a one-time purchase or a subscription โ€” whichever suits you.

The Swiss Army knife of notes โ€” it looks simple, and it has everything when you need it. Most days end up scattered across several apps: notes in one, tasks in another, the calendar somewhere else, and a separate download the moment you want a mind map. MatchaNote brings them into one place โ€” without crowding the screen. Open it and you get a clean page with the cursor already in it, ready for you to write. The advanced features never stand in your way. They show up at the moment you reach for them. Everything you'd expect: - Notes: rich text, images, attachments, tables, drawing, audio and document scanning - Tasks: reminders, repeats, list and board views - Calendar: month/week/day, with two-way Google Calendar and Google Tasks sync - Mind maps: a dedicated mind-map note โ€” multiple topics side by side, notes and images on any node, free drag-and-drop layout - Boards: turn any note straight into a board - Collaboration: real-time co-editing, public sharing and comments - Everyday tools: personal ledger, journal and contacts - Moving in and out: Evernote and Apple Notes import, Markdown and PDF export Works offline: Read and write without a connection. Everything syncs automatically when you reconnect, so iPhone, iPad, Mac and the web stay in step. Privacy and data freedom: Your content belongs to you. Export it whenever you like, and switch on per-note encryption and an app lock when you need them.
