Quil

Inspiration

The current market for productivity apps lacks an "all-in-one" solution that features project management, todo lists, and integrated note-taking. Quil seemlessly integrates all of these features in an easy-to-use interface.

What it does

Quil empowers users to organize the way they want to. Users are able to create projects with custom todo lists, add related notes to projects, and use hyperlink tags to link to relevant other tasks and notes. Tasks have priorities and statuses, to better track how far along a project is and what needs to be completed. The integrated note function includes a text editor allowing for proper word processing.
