1. 5/5NOT just another third party take on calendar and reminders

   The killer feature is that it integrates into, AND IS, your native Reminders and Calendar. Accessed from one place. It even gives a handy spot for personal notes to scribble for tracking things in your day. What it gets right: Time-sensitive reminders, daily to-do (agenda), and a place for miscellaneous mnemonic notes just for today’s scope. What it gets wrong: It’s mixing a flexible pop-up space for tracking projects or tasks that aren’t due today but have to be handled flexibly when you can get to them, some time this week or this month. It needs a digital sticky note TO-DO for all those “get to it later” items that need a reminder for the time period (upcoming week/month/quarter), but resist assignment to any particular day or time of day. And you DO NOT want to see them carried over in the same list of things that are assigned for today and today alone, if that makes sense.

2. 5/5A Beautifully Simple Daily Planner

   I’ve been waiting for an app like this for a long time. It’s simple, elegant, and incredibly powerful without feeling overwhelming. Having my daily notes, calendar events, and reminders all in one clean, distraction-free interface makes planning my day feel effortless. I also appreciate that it’s a true native Apple app with iCloud sync, widgets, and excellent privacy. There are no unnecessary features or clutter—just a beautifully designed experience that helps you stay organised and focused. Sometimes the best productivity apps are the simplest, and Parchment proves exactly that. Highly recommended.

3. 5/5Finally someone gets it!

   It’s a Command Center integrating daily To-Do, time-sensitive Reminders, Calendar, and odd miscellaneous notes and ideas you track for the day. The killer feature is that it integrates into, AND IS, your native Reminder and Calendar. All in one place. 👉🏻 There's ONE THING it’s missing to finally conquer this all-in-one-app concept: ❥ Ongoing non-deadline stuff you want to get to over the course of the upcoming week or month. Some kinda pop-up pad you can track ongoing “get to it later” important-but-non-urgent things that you need to remember to squeeze in but defy categorization into today’s checklist.

4. 5/5Simple and Pleasant

   I learned about this app from a newsletter from The Verge. I’m glad I gave it a try. It’s very simple and I love how it ties directly into Calendar and Reminders. It makes me actually want to write things down that I normally would not. I’m using it almost like a journal, which I’ve never had a desire to do. I expect to be using this for a long time. I would love to see it suggest Reminders and Calendar events based on what you write. This is a very pleasant app to use. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

5. 5/5Practical & Simple

   I’m loving this app. I’m visual, so having the overall view of what’s important every day right on my screen is helpful. I really love the place to take a quick note, jot down an email, or whatever. The way I can customize colors makes the app fun to use, and the ability to sync across devices and create different sized widgets is so practical and useful. I have it on all of my devices now. I’m loving it.
