Pendo - Write notes, Organize todos, Plan calendar and Share ideas by Wenzhuo Duan (Free, 5.6 MB): Not only does this note-taking and task management app include a charming, simple hand-drawn user interface, it also features a logical display design and nifty time saving functionality. Rather than organized in boxes or a basic text list, your tasks and notes are shown in a vertically oriented timeline managed using basic tap and swipe gestures. Sort of like a vine, color-coded icons that indicate entry type branch out left and right, one side being the content whereas the other is the last modified timestamp or event start time, which alternate sides for easier recognition. As for what you can store, entries may comprise a general note, event, or an itemized to-do list enhanced by intelligent text identification for external app commands. The most common example would be to mention a day and time for streamlining the calendar tagging, however, other possibilities exist. Specifically, inputting just a "T" and pressing Enter converts the entry into a checklist while doing the same with "F", "E", or "Tweet" prepares messages to share through Facebook, email, or Twitter. In addition, notes and events support image inserts, repositionable using a single finger drag-and-drop or resizable via two finger pinch and zoom gestures.
