As we look at our roadmap, we don’t see Informant’s greatest innovations happening with Notes because that’s not the core of our mission. Apps that let you use Apple Pencil to draw in your notes, that let you collaborate on notes with someone else, and ones that even let you search your own handwriting! Those are all amazing features – but they are coming from apps whose sole focus is Notes. What we’ve come to realize over the last several months is that Notes is one of those things we should have said “no” to.Ĭurrently, the App Store has some really great note-taking apps. Not because they were bad ideas, necessarily, but because saying “yes” to those things meant we would have to divert our attention away from the core thing that makes Informant great. But along the way, we said “yes” to a few things we should have said “no” to. A lot of them were really great (like being the first app to give you location-based alerts for your tasks). Over the years, we’ve had a ton of ideas for Informant. That has always been one of the defining features of Informant: events and tasks are both first-class citizens.
At the core of that mission, we firmly believe that in order to manage your time properly, you need an integrated view of all your events (appointments, etc) and your tasks (your to-do list). At its core, Informant is an app all about helping people be intentional about planning and prioritizing their time throughout the day. We’ve been thinking a lot about our Notes feature in Informant over the past several months. Again, not earth shattering, but an incredibly important life principle to wrap your arms around. If you say “yes” to getting up early and exercising, you’re saying “no” to sleeping in. If you say “yes” to working late, you’re saying “no” to family game night. Every time you say “yes” to something, you are implicitly saying “no” to something else.
November 2021 update – Read this FAQ for more info on the status of Notes – Ī while back, I heard something that wasn’t really new or earth shattering, but up till that point, I honestly hadn’t really taken the time to consider it.
