For ADHD minds full of ideas

Release your creativity. Some of it gets done.

Subnotes is a plain-text notes and to-do list app for iPhone, iPad & Mac. Any line you write can become a task.

Your brain doesn't run in a straight line.

Ideas show up in bursts, not a tidy queue — and most planners expect the queue.

Subnotes doesn't ask you to slow down. It just gives every idea somewhere real to land.

Built for ADHD brains that think fast and jump around — Subnotes turns whatever you're writing into a real to-do list, live, no separate app, no re-sorting later.

Notes and to-do lists One app, not two

Notes and tasks side by side. Rich to-do lists without a second app to keep in sync.

Plain text, real tasks Write it down. Some of it gets done.

Speed matters when jotting down half-finished ideas and for keeping your projects up to date.

Kanban board You are the boss (not your todo list)

Organize tasks by what happens Next, Soon, or Someday. Most things don't have a due date.

Markdown Nothing to learn or lock you in

Plain text, export any time, private sync over your own iCloud on iPhone, iPad & Mac.

Common questions

Do I have to set due dates for everything?

No. Tasks can sit in Next, Soon or Someday with no date at all, and Today only shows what is actually due today or overdue — so nothing turns red for being ignored.

Does Subnotes remind me about tasks?

On iPhone and iPad, a task with a specific time gets a notification at that time. Every platform shows a badge with the number of things due today, and the widget lists them on your Home Screen.

What makes Subnotes suit the way I think?

There is nowhere to file an idea before you have it. You write in plain text, and a line becomes a task when it turns out to be one — so capturing never waits on deciding where something belongs.

Download on the App Store Free. One app, universal across iPhone, iPad & Mac.
