Looks real nice. Poor Tom. #PetaDidIt

@rosie_eachus It's a theory :)

I LOVE this idea. I haven't tested it a lot yet, but all notes in one view is something I've been doing manually for a while in other apps. Agenda makes it so much better. Love the export too with all notes in one PDF. I'm going to have to give it a good test.

The only thing that concerns me now is that it's easy to get information in, but not out. If I move everything in, I have to pay to get it back out in Markdown. But I can't give it a real test without importing it all. Humm

I tried it out for the day. After a day of note-taking (simple formattings, some images) it's now crashing every few minutes. Most of the notes are in one project which makes it really slow. Some more feedback: CMD+DEL deletes the current project instead of the current line UNDO undoes too much at once and has a 500-1000ms lag at some point IMAGES are only available as links Having said that. It's beautiful and I like the idea of linking it to the calendar. If you can get the performance issues fixed, I'll keep using it.

@jens_hartwig As with most 1.0 releases, we had a few kinks. We have just issued a beta with many of the crashes and performance bottlenecks addressed, and some of the strange key combos. Stay tuned. Should be out in a few days at most.

I like the link to the calendar. That's a nice feature. I wish notes could include things like attachments, or maybe I just include a URL to the document which could show up like a related docs library. I could see this as a great tool for preparing for meetings for example where everything related to an upcoming meeting is in one place and ready for that exact date, and I'm ready to document the minutes of that meeting for whatever. The negative like so many apps is whether you need a separate not taking app, a separate digital calendar, a separate to do list, a separate project management tool (which might also store files and notes).. So while the tool is simple, people daily workflow can get complicated.

Any plans for team support? This seems like it would be perfect for organisations.
Drew McCormack
@balupton Plans, yes. First priority is iOS. But we will get to collaboration a bit further down the road.

Pretty curious how you all stack this up vs OneNote.
Drew McCormack
@stephenalan You can use Agenda free with no time limits, so why not just give it a shot? If you like it, you can purchase the in-app premium features. But the app is very usable even without them.
Stephen Campbell
@drewmccormack that didn't help me much, but thanks for responding.
Drew McCormack
@stephenalan I haven't used OneNote much, so not the best person to answer. If I compare to other note taking apps I've used, I would say Agenda does things quite differently: There is a "timeline" of notes per project; this restructuring and emphasis on projects can have a pretty big impact on how you work. OneNote is no doubt ahead in some areas. For example, we are macOS only at this point, with iOS expected first half of 2018. Some people will want to wait for the iOS app. We will probably get to other platforms later, but no decision made on that just yet.

Many features are similar to Evernote! Design looks very simple!! What are the 3 main features that would distinguish between Evernote n Agenda? How will it benefit a biz professional compared to Evernote and why should I move to Agenda?

Not sure if it’s just me, but when I hit “get it” then go to App Store, it shows not available. :/

If only this had apple pencil support - also some sort of document importing and annotation feature.

I am a heavy notes app user, and seeing this makes me happy. Agenda is so so pretty app.

@drewmccormack are you building it with electron
