"Speechify is absolutely brilliant. Growing up with dyslexia this would have made a big difference. I’m so glad to have it today."

Looks promising but being a Mac exclusive is a real pain.

About Agenda Notes
An intriguing method for taking notes on a Mac, Agenda organizes your notes based on the dates and times that you specify in your calendar. The application is gorgeously designed, and it has a surprising number of features for a version 1.0. However, it does not have an iOS equivalent (which is currently being developed), and it does not have any features that facilitate collaboration, which will prevent it from appealing to some users. Even though there are some rough spots in the app, Agenda has a lot of potential and should be appealing to anyone who has a lot of things to keep track of on their calendars at once. Notes are arranged in an agenda according to projects, which are a part of categories. Notes pertaining to a specific project are displayed in the middle of Agenda's window, and on either side of those notes are panels that allow you to navigate through your notes. The 'jump menu' is located at the top of the window and is referred to as the 'jump menu' by Agenda. Although it offers a significant portion of the same functionality as the left-hand panel, the jump menu is useful for navigating notes when the left-hand panel is not visible. Your notes take up the majority of the space in the middle column of the window when navigational panels are placed on both sides. The layout offers symmetry and balance, with the focus being placed more squarely on the notes as opposed to the navigation, which is something that I really like about it. Both panels have the ability to be covered up, but I don't find either of them particularly distracting because they can be shrunk down to the size of strips that are not only functional but also very thin. You can create notes in Agenda by either clicking on the plus button that is located at the top of the window or by typing Cmd+N. By default, new notes are displayed at the top of the window in reverse chronological order; however, the order of the notes can be changed by clicking on the name of the project or note in the jump menu. This will bring up a menu that allows you to navigate between projects and notes. A selected note has a background that is light yellow, but other than that, the distinction between one note and the next is primarily determined by the titles of the notes. The following screenshot includes three different types of notes: Test Note, Topics, and Issue 112. The Test Note that is located at the bottom of the window is currently selected, as can be seen from the jump menu that is located at the top of the window. This menu indicates that the note is located in the Weekly project within the MacStories category. The pricing model of Agenda is something that should be mentioned as well because of how unusual it is. The fundamental features of Agenda do not cost anything. The ability to create calendar events, save searches, copy and export Markdown, and other premium features can be unlocked by making an in-app purchase within the app. The in-app purchase also includes access to any new features that are released in the app during the subsequent year after the initial purchase. If you do not pay for the app again at the end of the year, it will continue to function normally, you will continue to receive bug fixes, and any features that you have unlocked will continue to work; however, you will not receive any new features that are added.

This app is great, been using this for 2yrs. But one downside is that I cannot change or add the photo of a notebook. Can you please fix this bug? Edited: This is really a great application to use for notes! Changing from 4 stars to 5 stars. The creators really keep in touch to fix the bug and the problem has been fixed. They also consider to add another feature. Please do create an archive for notebooks/notes it'll be helpful. I'm looking forward for that feature. Thank you so much!

Agenda Notes reviews
Now that Agenda is available on iOS, I'm using it full time for most of my notes. The design of it is simple and intuitive once you get the hang of things, and I truly enjoy being able to assign due dates to notes. It's useful for this line of work, and the iCloud sync is practically seamless and invisible. It's definitely a flexible note-taking app that can work with you if you experiment a little, since it combines three productivity apps in one. But it's completely free to download and use, with some useful bonus features if you decide to dive in completely.

Notebook – Notes,To-do,Journal reviews
Perfect. No annoyongly placed ads. I can put photos and make lists and have checkboxes. I can organize notes by putting them in notebooks. Those are all what im looking for, and all of that is here + there are so many extra features that are very nice to have like text formatting and inserting tables.
- LJ Roca
Almost great but the UI can still improve. The way the notes were displayed is quite unattractive for me. Maybe because I'm used to note displays on squares with curved edges. It's quite hassle also to individually open the notes so I'd request a feature where we can instead swipe to view multiple notes per notebook altogether. Unlimited notebooks, backup & restore feature, and the search function as well as the editing options for notes are a big plus though.
- Antoinette Rubi
Overall, it's a good note app in general. I tend to switch between devices, so I can continue with writing everything down, although there some issues with some notebook covers doesn't fully load when using another device. And this might be a minor issue, but there are times that the covers momentarily glitch out and the quote and brackets tend to overlap when they're supposed to be separate from each other. With some minor tweaks and adjustments, it's a solid note app. Keep it up!
