Simple workspace

Our Story

Basic Note-Taking & Lists began in 2018 when a group of editors noticed how overwhelmed people felt by complex productivity systems.

We believed in something simpler: that effective organization comes from basic, consistent habits—not complicated apps or elaborate methods.

Today, we help thousands of people find clarity through straightforward note-taking practices.
