ArkNote - Stay Present, Record Every Day It is a note-taking and life-logging app designed around each day. Notes, Todos, reading lists, reflections, and movie reviews no longer need to be scattered across different apps. ArkNote brings them together in a clear daily timeline: write today, continue tomorrow, and rediscover them years later in “Time Rings.” 【Bring Your Records Back to Each Day】 Swipe left or right to switch dates, or use the calendar to quickly look back. Your thoughts, tasks, photos, and everyday moments are naturally organized by time. 【More Than Text Notes】 Add Todos, photos and videos, links, reminders, moods, ratings, tags, and child notes. Use lists, bold text, colors, and covers to give every kind of content the right form. 【Todos No Longer Quietly Expire】 Unfinished items can automatically carry over to today. Recurring tasks can reappear daily, weekly, or on a custom schedule, naturally connecting yesterday, today, and tomorrow. 【Templates Make Repeated Records Easier】 Create templates for reading lists, movie journals, daily reflections, or your own workflows. Customize their icons, colors, and covers to reduce repetitive steps and make it easier to start recording. 【Stay Organized Without the Effort】 Use nested tags to organize different topics, and quickly search titles, text, Todos, links, and tags. Open “Time Rings · On This Day” to rediscover records from the same date in previous years. 【Quick Capture and Sharing】 Use the system Share Extension to quickly import web pages, text, and links into ArkNote. When a record is complete, save or send it through system sharing, as an image, or as a PDF. 【Sync and Backup】 Optionally sync across devices with iCloud. JSON backup, export, and restore are also supported, helping you keep important records safe.

Why is it so hard to stick to your plans? Because your schedule is trapped in a calendar, tasks are scattered across to-do lists, habits live in routine trackers, and thoughts are lost in note apps. Tymio breaks the silos of fragmented productivity tools. Built around an intelligent calendar and visual timeline, Tymio combines schedules, checklists, habit counters, focus timers, multimodal notes, travel planning, anniversaries, and relationship whiteboards into one unified space—your true All-in-One time and life management system. 【Key Features】 • Versatile Calendar & Multi-Dimensional Views Seamlessly switch between Daily Timeline, Weekly View, Rolling Week, Monthly View, and Eisenhower Matrix on a single dashboard. Drag-and-drop to reschedule with ease, and let unfinished single tasks auto-rollover to the next day without overdue anxiety. • Multi-Level Tasks & Smart Recurring Rules Break down complex projects effortlessly with nested checklists and folders of unlimited depth. Enjoy flexible recurring schedules with intelligent options to skip public holidays and non-working days. • Habit Tracking & Progress Heatmaps Customize count units, step values, and target cycles (daily, weekly, monthly, yearly). Track momentum with GitHub-style habit heatmaps and trend graphs. Retroactive logging and undo history ensure every step of your journey is accounted for. • Immersive Focus Timer with Picture-in-Picture (PiP) Choose between Stopwatch and Countdown modes. With Picture-in-Picture (PiP) and floating overlays, keep track of your focus sessions even when multitasking across apps. Link focus sessions directly to specific tasks or habits to populate your timeline and analytics. • Rich Multimodal Life Logging Capture quick thoughts with text, photos, videos, voice memos, and geolocation tags. Keep notes standalone or bind them deeply to tasks, habit check-ins, or travel itineraries. Filter by multi-tags and distribution charts to review your life's milestones. • All-in-One Travel & Trip Planning Organize itineraries day-by-day across sights, dining, stays, and transit. Connect your stops visually on an interactive map while managing pre-trip checklists, booking attachments, and travel expense ledgers side-by-side. • Interactive Relationship Whiteboard Break free from linear lists. Map personal networks, connections, and complex mind maps on an infinite canvas using draggable node cards and custom connectors. • Special Days & Anniversary Countdowns Track both countdowns and elapsed days. From birthdays and relationship anniversaries to exams and project milestones, stay prepared with customizable recurring alerts and advance reminders. • Interactive Home Screen Widgets Check off tasks or tap the plus button to silently log habit counts directly from your home screen without opening the app. Choose from monthly calendars, weekly planners, today’s tasks, Eisenhower matrices, habit heatmaps, and anniversary widgets with adjustable transparency and grouping. • Cloud Sync & Curated Aesthetic Themes Real-time cloud sync pairs with complete local data backup and restore. Personalize your workspace with curated theme palettes (Morandi, Macaron, Oriental, Nordic Minimalist, etc.) to bring intentional design to every device. --- Terms & Privacy Policy: • Official Website: https://tymio.taseatech.com/en • Privacy Policy: https://tymio.taseatech.com/en/privacy • Terms of Service: https://tymio.taseatech.com/en/terms
