Ensō documentation
Ensō is a personal-productivity suite: Agenda, Todo, Calendar, Reading list, Projects, Notes, Email, and History in one tabbed app. It runs on the web at app.ensoapp.io, as a Windows and macOS desktop app, and as a home-screen app on your phone.
Every device keeps a full local copy of your data, so Ensō works with no connection at all. When you’re online, your devices sync through your account in the background — edit on one, see it on the others within seconds.
