A shared calendar for the people you call home. Classes, pickups, birthdays and weekend plans can be easier to keep together. FamilyCal gives your family one place for everyday plans, quick notes and the conversations around them. See the week together Browse seven days at a glance, open the month view and filter by family member. Keep times, places, notes and participants alongside each event. Leave room to work it out Choose a family member to help, or leave it open for now. Changes take effect when you save, with no request-and-accept process. Capture now, plan later Save an idea or a small task in Inbox without choosing a date. Turn it into an event when you are ready, or simply mark it complete. Keep the conversation close Use the family board for notes worth keeping, family chat for everyday discussion and event conversations for a specific plan. Reading or replying does not change who is helping. Make room for changes Create daily or weekly repeats and choose whether an edit affects one event, future events or the series. Preview the effect of school closure, makeup class and schedule change notices before applying them. Remember the special days Keep birthdays and anniversaries using Gregorian or Chinese lunar calendar rules. Choose who can see private details Medical appointment details require explicit access. Changing who accompanies someone does not automatically share those details. Before you begin Shared features require an account and an internet connection. When you create a family, its time zone is detected from your device and can be selected manually. Existing families keep Shanghai time. Family calendars, reminders and AI time references use the family time zone, which stays the same when you travel. Device reminders require notification permission. After another device changes or cancels an event, open FamilyCal online to update this device's reminders. Previously saved recent content can be viewed in the app; creating, editing and sending content require a connection. Make a little room for life together.

About

Noto

Features
Read full description

Most note apps are built for storing things. Noto is built for thinking them through. No folders, no tags, and no cluttered formatting tools. Open Noto, and you have a blank piece of scratch paper ready to go—jot down an unformed thought, sketch a rough diagram, or drop a question mark right where you're stuck. When you need an outside perspective, there's no switching apps or tedious selecting, copying, and pasting. Just draw a circle around a snippet and drag it straight into the AI window beside it. Once you have your answer, look back at your page. Your workspace is untouched, and you can pick up right where you left off. Flip back to that page days later, and you won't just see the final conclusion—you'll see your hesitations, your cross-outs, and every step it took to make sense of it all.
