Agenda v6 (beta) on the Mac includes the anticipated integration with Reminders. It is very cool, IMO. Add reminders to individual lines or items in Notes -- if you want that granularity. Or create a Reminder and assign a note to it. Whatever.

A great CRIMP.

That is actually very cool. Although you'd need wild horses to separate me from NotePlan nowadays.

Having said that, Agenda and NotePlan suffer from the same weakness: you can only have a single window open at any one time.

I must write to Eduard. I know it's on Agenda's roadmap...

Cheers,
Bill

I have come to like Agenda the past few months. I'm using it primarily to keep track of audio recording techniques, in journal or diary form.

Version 6 is out of beta and is available for download. I very much like the interface of this program. I'm using it where I used to use Evernote (notetaking for voiceover sessions).

Thanks. Agenda is a nicely designed app. The release notice sent to subscribers hinted that Apple Pencil will be supported in Agenda on iPads after ipadOS 13 is released -- which will support adding handwritten notes. Also, v6 adds the ability to attach multiple notes to the same event, another feature I like.

This app gets progressively better, so it's worth supporting in my opinion.

Agenda continues to play a luring siren song, but doesn’t work for me in actual use.

NotePlan, however, has snuck in and pulled me away from other apps, including my venerable OmniFocus for basic tasks.

Ditto. I've tried hard to find uses for Agenda, but it's nowhere near as intuitively satisfying as NotePlan 2.0. Even though it's prettier.

Another ditto. I'm warily using NotePlan more and more, but didn't quite get comfortable with Agenda for whatever reason.

I do think that task/notes apps in the Apple ecosystem should all focus on accessing Apple's built-in plumbing for reminders, so good on Agenda for that.

I quite agree - there's so much power already built in to macOS, it seems daft to reinvent it.
