- Meal planning and water tracking sit next to the calendar grid
Cons
- Sticker packs, covers, and art skew loud if you prefer plain grids
- Built around an agenda metaphor, not deep project boards
- Smaller brand footprint than flagship calendar suites
- Pairing GoodNotes with a separate calendar still tempts power note-takers
