Kalend review
To-dos, calendar, habits and a journal in one free app
- The Big Head
- Free
- iPhone & iPad
Does it deserve #1?
The verdict
Kalend folds a to-do list, a calendar, a habit tracker and a journal into one native iPhone and iPad app, and asks nothing for it. There is no account and no company server: everything syncs through your own iCloud and works offline. It is not as deep as Todoist or Things for complex projects, but for planning a normal day it covers a lot of ground for free.
- Tasks with projects and repeats
- Calendar with your iPhone calendars
- Habits with grace days
- Private journal with templates
