Replacements
Listings that take over the same core job as Agenda.
NotePlan
A daily-note app that combines notes, tasks and Apple Calendar events for Mac, iOS and web.
NotePlan builds each day around a note with Apple Calendar and two-way Reminders sync, adds a web version, and requires a paid subscription after the trial.
Amplenote
A note-taking and task app that combines linked notes, a to-do list, calendar planning and AI agents.
Amplenote combines notes, tasks and calendar planning on Windows, Linux, Android and the web as well as Apple devices, but it requires an account and cloud service.
Reflect
An end-to-end encrypted note app with backlinked notes, calendar integration and an AI assistant.
Reflect offers end-to-end encrypted linked notes with calendar integration for meeting notes on iOS and the web, but it is paid after the trial with no Mac app listed.
Twos
An app for quickly writing down notes, to-dos, reminders and events organised by day.
Twos ties notes, tasks and reminders to days and runs on Windows, Linux, Android and the web too, though it suits quick items more than long documents.
Evernote
A long-running note-taking app with notebooks, tasks, calendar links, search and web clipping.
Evernote links tasks and calendar to notebooks with a web clipper and collaboration, but it stores notes on Evernote's servers and many features need paid plans.
