Plan your day without bouncing between a calendar, a todo app, and group chat. Bricks Calendar brings events, todos, shared plans, and conversations into one calm, color-coded view. Each Brick is a space for one part of lifeβ€”personal plans, a partner, family, study, or work. Keep it private, or invite the people who need to be there.

New accounts can try Bricks Pro for 7 days without a payment method. People invited to a shared Brick can view it and message for free. Editing Brick or event content requires Bricks Pro and edit access. Apple Family Sharing shares subscription eligibility only; each Brick still needs its own invitation.

About

Pellet

Read full description

Pellet keeps your notes as plain markdown files in a folder you own. No account, no server, no proprietary format β€” open the same folder in any other editor and everything is still there. AN EDITOR THAT STAYS OUT OF THE WAY Write in markdown with live preview, wiki-style links between notes, backlinks, tags and full-text search. Your vault is just files, so nothing is trapped behind an export button. A TASK MANAGER THAT LIVES IN YOUR NOTES Tasks are ordinary markdown files with front matter, so a task can be a note and a note can be a task. Due dates, recurrence, subtasks, checklists and kanban boards β€” all reading from the same folder. CALENDAR ALONGSIDE YOUR WORK See your day next to your notes. Connect Google Calendar or your existing calendar accounts, or work entirely offline with dated notes. CANVAS, HANDWRITING AND VOICE Sketch on an infinite canvas, write by hand with Apple Pencil, and record voice notes. Handwriting and recordings can be turned into searchable text so they join the rest of your vault instead of sitting in a corner. SYNC YOU CONTROL Sync between your devices is end-to-end encrypted and runs through a relay you choose or host yourself. There is no Pellet account and no Pellet server holding your notes. WORKS OFFLINE, ALWAYS Everything works with no network. Nothing is fetched to open a note, and nothing phones home. Pellet reads and writes ordinary markdown, so it fits alongside whatever else you already use.
