FEATURE PREMIUM
Date-focused notes aren’t the only unique
aspect of Agenda. The app is free to
download and use, but developer Momenta
offers an optional Premium Features
upgrade for $25 annually which permanently
unlocks any new tools added over those 12
months. That’s right, new features
become yours to use forever,
even when you stop paying; the
only thing you’ll miss out on are
future premium features.
This is (ahem) noteworthy
since reminders are one of the
latest premium features to be
introduced, along with a setting
to choose which calendars and
lists are displayed. Previous
features include the ability to
adjust line spacing and select
whether images are displayed
full width or as thumbnails, both

convenient additions.

Agenda also has a free iOS companion

app, so notes created on macOS can be

synced to mobile via iCloud or Dropbox. I

initially had trouble connecting Reminders

on iOS devices, but were able to get

things working by toggling the switch

again in Settings. The mobile app

includes a few premium features

of its own, like auto dark mode

and the ability to pick custom UI

accent color. (You can only do

this on macOS by changing

system-wide accent color under

System Preferences → General.)

BOTTOM LINE

It may not be the most feature-rich

note taking app on the market, but

integration with calendar events

and reminders make Agenda 6 a

contender worth checking out. ■

Featuring robust

text styling,

Agenda 6 is a

perfect companion

for those already

well versed in

Markdown.
