NoteCircle report card
Very good · out of 4.0 · graded Oct 9, 2026
Best for planning to-dos and routines a week at a time
NoteCircle plans your to-dos a week at a time. One-off tasks, weekly routines and dates like birthdays share one list, with a weekly goal pinned on top and a monthly report on how you did. It can even turn a photo of a handwritten list into tasks. It's free to use, but nobody says which features need Premium. And it's built for iPhone and iPad, with no web version.
Who NoteCircle is for
- Great if you plan your to-dos a week at a time
- Handy when you keep weekly routines next to one-off tasks
- Good for iPhone and iPad users who want calendar events in the same list
Who NoteCircle is not for
- Skip it if you want a web version or a full Android app, as it's built for iPhone and iPad
- Not for you if you want to know what Premium adds before paying, as neither the site nor the App Store says
- Pricey if you pay monthly, at $3.99 against $29.99 for the year
Why NoteCircle gets a 3.0
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- BValue for moneyPremium is $3.99 a month or $29.99 a year, about what paid to-do apps start at, and Lifetime is $59.99. But the vendor only says Premium unlocks advanced features, without listing them. So you can't tell what the money buys until you're in the app.
- BFree plan and trialFree to download and use, which is a good start. But neither the vendor's site nor the App Store listing says which features need Premium, so we can't tell you where the free version stops.
- BFeaturesA week view you swipe through, routines set for chosen weekdays, a weekly goal on top, a monthly completion report, separate checklists and a Someday list. Events come in from Google and Apple calendars. Solid for planning one person's week. It's a planner, though, not a project tool.
- AEase of use4.6 from about 1,200 App Store ratings. Daily tasks and the weekly schedule are shown together, and you can add tasks by voice or by photographing a handwritten list.
- CPlatforms and integrationsiPhone and iPad, plus a Mac if you run the iPhone and iPad app there, which the FAQ says needs macOS 11 or newer. There's no web version. The vendor's page says Android users get limited features for now and links only the iOS download.

Key features
- Weekly planning view
- The app is organized around the week: daily tasks and the weekly schedule are shown together, and swiping moves from one day to the next.
- Recurring routines
- A routine is set up once with the weekdays it applies to and then appears among that day's to-dos. A setting can hide routines from the to-do list.
- Weekly goal and monthly report
- A goal for the week is pinned above the to-do list, and a monthly report shows what was planned, the completion rate and progress on weekly goals.
- Events and calendar sync
- Birthdays, paydays and other dated events appear at the top of the list on the day, and events from Google and Apple calendars can be imported or added selectively.
- Checklists and Someday list
- Separate checklists cover topics such as shopping or travel and can be reordered and cleared of completed items at once. A Someday list holds tasks to move into the to-do list later.
- Paper to-do scanning and voice input
- A photo of a handwritten list is turned into editable tasks, and tasks can also be added by voice.
