  2. easy to check them off, ability to set it to push notification about specific notes
  3. tied to a calendar
  4. voice to text capabilities. i need to be able to dictate a reminder on the go.
  5. preferably free but i would totally pay for these features. just not subscription model

    I just carry around a pen and small notebook in the front pocket of my overalls for note taking. I also have a big ass wall calendar that i get every year from a gasket manufacturer local to my area. I got the notebooks from the local dollarama.

    Ive tried a few note taking apps on iOS, but always just go back to pen and paper. I dunno if its because the note taking apps on iOS suck or if pen and paper just suits me well.

    If you cross your eyes and squint a pen/pocketbook meets most of your requirements. Its cheap, tied to a calendar, easy to check off stuff, can notate OTG..

      Second this, I've tried almost every app in existence and only pen and paper has worked. It's good for catching thoughts, scribbling, to do lists, and whatever else I feel like using it for.

      However, I treat everything in my notebook as temporary. For permanent notes and references and stuff like that I use Obsidian.
