Busy people are often looking for ways to make productivity easier. Dictating notes is a pretty common task, but what if you could dictate something and have it automatically converted into a Calendar event or contact? With Pendo – Write Notes, List To-Dos, Plan Calendar & Share Ideas, you can do exactly that and more.

What can Pendo do?

Whether you want to create a note, journal, to-do list, long tweet, or Facebook post, Pendo has you covered. It also automatically creates events for you on your calendar, either using the C command or by recognizing the format. If you dictate or type a name with a phone number or email address, Pendo can automatically recognize that it’s a contact and add it to your address book.

Quick commands

Pendo also includes quick commands that you can use to automatically create certain types of entries. For example, typing T and then pressing enter automatically creates a to-do list. Similarly, CO tells Pendo to add the details to your address book. If you type the command E, it will generate an email of your note or to-do list that you can share with someone else. As for the display, as you create calendar entries, to-do lists, and notes, they all show up in a gorgeous but simple vertical timeline for your day.

You can download Pendo for free on the App Store. It’s designed for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, and requires iOS 8.2 or later. There are no ads, but there is an in-app purchase to treat the developers to a cup of tea.
