Notes on keeping track.
Short, practical guides to the things people actually want from a notes app: a daily note that stays useful, to-dos that come out of what you wrote, habits you can see, and sync that needs no setup.
-

-

The PARA method without building the folders first.

A personal kanban board that fills itself from your notes.

Send a to-do to Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini with its context.

How to brain dump, and where it goes afterwards.
A brain dump clears your head, then the list rots. Write it on today’s page in Remlo and every checkbox is already a to-do. Mac, iPhone, iPad.
-
Meeting notes that find their own project afterwards.
Write the meeting into today. Name the project and its page collects it. Checkboxes become to-dos on one page. Native on Mac, iPhone, and iPad.

A someday maybe list that does not nag.

-
You should not have to sync your notes to your task manager.
Obsidian to Things, Todoist, or Reminders needs a plugin, a token, and a copy of every task. Remlo keeps the task in the note. Mac, iPhone, iPad.
