You could make the core of Pagico for yourself: tasks and notes. What you would give up is listed below. Whether that is worth the price is your call. At $65, paid once, it costs less than the weekend it would take to replace, which is the argument for keeping it. - You could make: Tasks and notes: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: Apps for macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other. - You could not: It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
