Forget Less
Stay focused and plan better by linking your tasks, notes, and calendar.
All in one place, all inside NotePlan.
I have tried all of the apps there are for doing this kind of thing and NotePlan, because it’s that combo of calendar, reminders and notes all in one place, has just worked for me
