Good morning. Here's your day, already sorted.

Four notebooks.
One calm place.

Notes, to-dos, spending and an assistant that files things for you. Together in one fast, private Mac app.

Four Notes on Today: a greeting, a one-paragraph brief of what's due and what was spent, quick notes, and the assistant's input.

A note turns into a task. A task turns into a bill. A bill turns into spending. Four Notes keeps all four in one place, and does the filing for you.

01Today

Know where you stand in five seconds.

What it is

The page Four Notes opens on. It sums up your day in one short paragraph: what's due, what you spent yesterday and which budget needs a look. Click any underlined phrase to go straight to it.

Why you'll love it

No more checking three apps before breakfast. What needs you now is right there, and nothing else is.

Today: a one-paragraph brief with links to three things due, yesterday's spending of Rp105K and two budget warnings, beside a column of quick notes.
  1. Your day, in one paragraphEvery underlined phrase opens what it mentions
  2. Yesterday's spending, at a glanceOne click and you're in Finance
  3. Jot it now, sort it laterQuick notes wait right here
  4. Ask or tell it anything“Plan my day”, “Spent 45k on lunch”

02The assistant

Just say what happened.

What it is

Type it, or say it, the way you'd text a friend. The assistant turns it into the right thing, whether that's a spend, a split bill, a reminder or a finished task, and shows you what it filed.

Why you'll love it

Capturing takes two seconds, so it actually happens. No forms, no picking categories, nothing to remember later.

Works in English and Bahasa Indonesia. “45k”, “25rb” and “2.5jt” all work.

A small demo that runs in your browser. In the app, Apple Intelligence understands far more, on your Mac.

03Notes, to-dos & money

Everything knows about everything else.

What it is

A real Mac editor for notes, a board for tasks and a clear view of your money, in one window. And they're linked: tick off “Pay rent” and the payment is logged. A trip note keeps the tasks it started.

Why you'll love it

One place to look and one search for everything. No more copying between apps, and no spreadsheet on the side.

Notes: a list of notes beside the editor, open on “Weekend in Bandung” with headings, bullets, a packing checklist and a linked task.
Headings, lists, checklists you can tick, links and colour, with the Mac's own spell-check, find and undo.

04Edge dock

Always at the edge of your screen.

What it is

A small handle waits on the side of your screen, over whatever you're working in. Click it for a quick note, today's tasks, dictation or a spend. Stick a note to it, and the note waits there as a bubble.

Why you'll love it

Catch the thought without switching apps or losing your place. And the list you keep checking is always one hover away.

Apartment hunting, open on the screen edge: three flats to compare and a reminder to ask about the deposit. Grocery list, open on the screen edge as a yellow sticky, with coffee beans ticked off. Mom’s birthday ideas, open on the screen edge as a pink sticky.
