Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.8
GPA, above 72 of the 147 other note-taking apps we grade
Agenda is a note-taking app for Mac, iPhone and iPad that arranges notes in project timelines and ties them to dates and calendar events. Notes that matter right now can be put On the Agenda, tasks can carry reminders that show up in Apple's Reminders app, and everything syncs through the user's own iCloud or Dropbox. The app is free with no time limit, and a Premium purchase unlocks extra features on all of a user's Apple devices.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Agenda, taken from its own pages and our grades.
No rating on record, but there's little to set up: install it, write, and sync uses the iCloud or Dropbox account you already have.
- 1
Best for meeting notes tied to dates on Apple devices
Agenda is an Apple-only notes app that files each note on a project timeline and ties it to dates and calendar events.

- 6
On the Agenda
Mark notes as current to collect them in a dedicated sidebar group and find them faster in search.
- 7
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.

The report card
Best for meeting notes tied to dates on Apple devices
Agenda is an Apple-only notes app that files each note on a project timeline and ties it to dates and calendar events. The free version has no time limit, and Premium is $39.99 a year or $179 once. Templates, saved searches, sharing a note and creating calendar events are Premium, free printouts and PDFs carry a watermark, and there is no Windows, Android or web version.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B | Premium is $39.99 a year for Mac, iPhone and iPad together, which is $3.33 a month where note apps here sit at $6 in the middle, and features unlocked while you subscribe stay yours after cancelling, so one year can be the whole bill. Lifetime at $179 takes years to pay off. |
| Free plan and trial | B | A free plan you could really live on, with no time limit: timelines, dated notes, calendar links and sync through your own iCloud or Dropbox. The caps are real, though. No templates or saved searches, and printouts and PDFs carry an Agenda watermark. |
| Features | B | It covers the whole job in its own shape: notes on project timelines linked to calendar events, reminders that land in Apple's Reminders, a styled editor with tables and checklists, Safari clipping on the Mac and an on-device assistant that answers questions about your notes. |
| Ease of use | B | No rating on record, but there's little to set up: install it, write, and sync uses the iCloud or Dropbox account you already have. Filing notes by project and date is the one new idea to get your head round. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | One family of devices: Mac, iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch, with no Windows, Android or web version. Inside that world it connects to Apple Calendar, Reminders, Contacts and Shortcuts, and on the Mac to Claude or ChatGPT. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Agenda is for
- Fits if your notes are mostly about meetings and what was said on which day
- Works for Apple users who want notes tied to Calendar and Reminders
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you use Windows, Android or a browser, as it runs only on Mac, iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch
- Not for you if you want to share notes for free, because inviting someone to a note is Premium
- Tight if you print or export a lot, since free puts a watermark on printouts and PDFs, and Markdown and HTML export are Premium
- Watch out: templates, saved searches, the Send to Agenda email address and creating calendar events inside Agenda are all Premium
- Watch out: sync needs your own iCloud or Dropbox account, and the 7-day trial runs straight into the $39.99 yearly plan

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
The plain part of Agenda you could make: notes, calendar, tasks, templates and web clipper. What surrounds it you could not. The 5 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
It costs $39.99 a year.
What you could make
- Notes, calendar, tasks, templates and web clipper: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Apps for macOS and iOS that stay in step with each other.
- Several people working in it at the same moment.
- It plugs into other products, Apple Calendar, Apple Reminders and iCloud among them.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Agenda’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
