The name
κόσμος, kosmos: order, the world as an arranged whole.
In ancient Greek, kosmos means order, the opposite of chaos. Kosnote takes a busy, messy day and turns it into clear notes, one for each piece of work. Kosmos + note = Kosnote.

What it does
What a normal notes folder can’t do.
01 · NUDGES
It reminds you what is waiting.
Kosnote notices work that is waiting for someone else, work that has stopped moving, and notes you did not finish. It shows them to you before they are forgotten. You do not need to set up tags or rules.
