Hi IH,
I took a step back one day and looked at how I took notes and todos. It was all over the place. I'd have notes in google docs, evernote, mac notes, email, etc. and then have todos either scattered in there or entered in a todo tracker (typically google tasks). I also realized I created new notes every time for the same recurring meeting, so if I wanted to pick up where I left off, it was a hassle.
While I'm a pretty productive/efficient person, I felt the tools I used just didn't cut it for me and I scratched my own itch with a recent side project - NoteDo - a personal note + todo desktop app.
NoteDo is simple and does a couple of things differently/well:
I've been beta testing it personally and with a couple of friends for several weeks and have had positive feedback.
If this sounds like a problem you face as well, let me know (in the comments) or feel free to add your email on the waitlist form on the site.
