Google Calendar & Task Reminders

Never miss a meeting or deadline. Connect your Google Calendar to see your schedule alongside your notes, and turn tasks into desktop reminder alerts with simple text tags.

Connecting Google Calendar

To see your calendar events right inside DaVinci Notes, go to Settings > Calendar and click Connect Google Calendar. Your schedule will sync smoothly so you can link meetings directly to your meeting notes!

Setting Task Reminders

You don't need a separate to-do list app. Add @remind to any checklist item in your notes:
