Agenda vs Craft

Agenda

• People whose notes revolve around meetings and dates
• Apple users who want notes tied to Calendar and Reminders
• Project work where older notes need to stay in context

Craft

• People who want polished documents and personal notes in one app
• Individuals and families working mainly on Apple devices, with Windows, Android and web as well
• Small teams of up to 10 that prefer a fixed price over per-seat billing

Agenda

• Available only on Apple devices: Mac, iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch.
• Templates, saved searches, inviting others to collaborate on a note and creating calendar events inside Agenda are Premium features.
• Free accounts get an Agenda watermark on printouts and exported PDFs; removing it is a Premium bonus.
• Sync relies on your own iCloud or Dropbox account.

Craft

• The free Starter plan stops at 1,500 content blocks, 1 GB of storage and 25 MB per file.
• Shared spaces come with the Family and Team bundles, which are capped at 6 and 10 accounts.
• Offline use covers documents opened earlier; creating documents, search and the AI assistant need a connection.
• Prices are set per country in local currency, so the amount shown on the pricing page varies by region.

Agenda

Dated notes on a timeline

Notes sit in project timelines, can carry dates and link to calendar events, so past, current and upcoming notes are seen together.

On the Agenda

Mark notes as current to collect them in a dedicated sidebar group and find them faster in search.

Reminders and calendar events

Calendar events and due reminders appear in one scrolling timeline. Creating and editing events and reminders from inside Agenda is a Premium feature.

Styled-text editor

Headings, lists, checklists, tables, tags and links with consistent styling. Printing and PDF export are included; Markdown and HTML export are Premium.

Capture from anywhere

Clip web pages from Safari on the Mac, share into Agenda from other apps, or email notes to a personal Send to Agenda address (Premium).

Ask Agenda and AI assistants

An on-device assistant answers questions about your notes, and on the Mac assistants such as Claude or ChatGPT can connect through the Model Context Protocol.

Craft

Block-based documents

Documents combine styled text, headings, lists and tables in blocks, and can be shared or published to the web.

Tasks, daily notes and calendar

Tasks sit inside documents and daily notes, with a calendar view. On Mac, iPhone and iPad, system calendar events appear alongside them.

Whiteboards and Collections

Whiteboards provide a visual canvas, and Collections add structured tracking with rich data to a document.

Craft Assistant

AI help for writing and editing, metered in credits: 15 on the Starter plan and 50 per month on Plus.

Offline editing

Documents opened earlier can be read and edited without a connection and sync on reconnect. Mac and iOS sync in the background; elsewhere it must be enabled in settings.

API, MCP and capture tools

A REST API and MCP server are included in all plans. A browser extension clips web pages, and emails can be forwarded into a space.
