# Parchment

> Daily page joining Apple Calendar, Reminders and a dated note

Parchment is a daily planner for iPhone, iPad and Mac that shows the day's Apple Calendar events and Apple Reminders above a note for that date. It keeps no task list or calendar of its own: changes made in Parchment apply to the same items in Apple's apps. Notes can be typed with Markdown or handwritten with Apple Pencil on iPad, and they stay on the device and in the user's private iCloud. It is sold as a one-time purchase.

## Key features

- **One page per day:** Calendar events and due or overdue reminders appear above the daily note for that date, so the agenda and the writing share one view.
- **Apple Reminders and Calendar data:** Tasks are Apple Reminders and events come from the system calendar. Completing a task or updating an event in Parchment changes it in Apple's apps too.
- **Natural-language entry:** The agenda's plus button accepts phrases such as "Lunch tomorrow at noon" for an event or "task Submit invoice Friday at 5pm" for a reminder.
- **Typed and handwritten notes:** Daily notes take Markdown headings and lists. On iPad a note can switch to handwriting with Apple Pencil, and those pages stay visible on iPhone and Mac.
- **Search and version history:** One search covers typed notes, recognized handwriting, events and reminders. Each daily note keeps saved versions that can be restored.
- **Widgets, Shortcuts and export:** Home and Lock Screen widgets show the agenda, Shortcuts actions add text or open a date, and the journal exports as TXT, PDF or a Markdown Text Bundle.

## Good for

- People who keep events in Apple Calendar and tasks in Apple Reminders
- Keeping a dated daily note or work log beside the day's agenda
- Buyers who want to pay once: $4.99 covers iPhone, iPad and Mac

## Worth knowing

- Apple platforms only: the vendor says it cannot support Android or Windows because it depends on Apple Reminders, Calendar and iCloud.
- There is no free version or trial listed; the app is a $4.99 paid download.
- Google or Exchange calendars appear only once the account is set up in Apple Calendar; Parchment does not manage accounts itself.
- The vendor says it does not integrate with Apple Notes or Obsidian; notes leave the app through export.
