Now let me caveat this by saying I don't expect it to be the perfect productivity tool for everyone, this would be specific for those wanting to create a specific workflow, or multiple workflows depending on needs. All of these suggestions could be implemented or not by the individual user. # What the Calendar Gets Right There is no doubt that the Supernote calendar app is powerful. It is the only one that has full integration and binding to third-party calendars. Outlook and Google calendars come in and can be edited on the device in real time. If you need to add an event, you can do it from a note or directly from the calendar (in any view). Once created the event will sync (quickly if you enable auto sync) to your calendar of choice. To my knowledge, this is the most seamless direct integration of any device, recognizing that there the Supernote does not have Google Play integration. In addition to handling events, the Supernote calendar allows you to view all notes for the current day, and previous notes by creation date. You can even create a new mote right from the calendar app and file it later. The monthly and weekly view have the same bottom navigation for consistency and ease of navigation. Additionally, you can write on both views. Lasso erase and line snapping also work on both views.

In my opinion, it may be the moist misunderstood functionally on the entire platform. That being said, there are definitely areas of improvement that Ratta should prioritize. First, from a sheer usability standpoint, notes should be visible on both the date created and last accessed date. If they wanted to be even more innovative, they could figure a way (maybe taking design cues fun the ToDo app) to allow users to either tag a specific date or link it to an event. Second, being able to write on the monthly and weekly view is great, but there should also be a way to write on the daily view as well. I understand this may be an issue with 3rd party calendar integrations, but solving it would set them apart from the competition. Third is allowing multiple calendar support. This is a big miss currently. While there is support for up to three email addresses to be added to the device, you are limited to just one calendar. Most working professionals maintain separate calendars and then overlay them in their client of choice. In some cases, even within an organization, you will have multiple calendars. This would be a huge quality of life enhancement and bring a much asked for feature to the platform. # Nice to Haves Lets end with some things that, while not essential, would catapult Supernote to the absolute top of the pack when it comes to productivity. - **Note or Document Linking** - This would allow users to truly customize the experience with the ability to create a note and tie it directly to a specific date or time. - **Sticker Integration** - This, combined with links, could allow visual reminders and increased customization. - **ToDo Integration** - Viewing ToDo items directly in the Calendar, just like with notes, would maximize productivity and create a more seamless experience for users. - **App and Cloud Integration** - Notes and ToDo items are available on the apps, being able at least view the calendar (preferably edit) could be exceptional. As I had mentioned before, the Supernote Cloud needs a complete overhaul to look and feel hide the desktop apps. # Conclusions & Final Thoughts While the Supernote calendar could definitely improve, I have not seen anything to make me think it is significantly behind any other device. In fact, it's ahead of most. I hope that Ratta takes the time to fully flesh out and enhance this already wonderful tool. Thank you for reading and I hope you found the information useful. Until next time, keep moving forward. **| [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdofOksT0V35qf1-zqsIXUQ/) | [Patreon](https://patreon.com/OrganizingforChange?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink) | [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/edward.w.finn/) | [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/changeagent1820/) | [Threads](https://www.threads.net/@changeagent1820) | [Bluesky](https://bsky.app/profile/change1820.bsky.social) | [X](https://x.com/EdFinnIII) | | [Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/show/6Tvle14n3fjG8mn0DGfO1G?si=k4B3ocohTI2EuNoFWos1GA) | [iHeart Radio](https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-change-chat-274015995/) | [Apple Podcasts](https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/change-chat/id1812220268) |**
