There’s no shortage of note–taking apps for iPad, iPhone, and Mac. And there are plenty that sync on all three devices. But there were good reasons why Agenda: Notes Meets Calendar came top in our recent group test…
It’s the only note–taking app that uses the date as a focus. That turns Agenda into a powerful tool for planning projects on your own or with others, for making notes and referring to them later, or collecting recipes from websites and assigning dates to try them.
Agenda uses colored tags to make it easy to find notes, and the app is deeply integrated with Apple’s way of doing things so has Share extensions, Widgets, and Shortcut actions. It also syncs with Calendar and Reminders, so you can see entries alongside your notes.
Notes can contain images and URLs, and formatted text. Notes are organized in projects, but the real star of the show is the “On the Agenda” view which allows you to quickly see what you should be focused on.
Everything we cover here can be done with the free version, but premium is available for $14.99/£14.99 a year.
