Instead of Legend
Legend alternatives
Legend combines notes, documents, email, files, tasks, outlines, and projects in a workspace built from Boards and Panes. Markdown, backlinks, mirrors, and an outliner connect writing with task planning, while the Agenda sorts tasks by priority and date. Panes can show outline, grouped, list, or calendar views, and filters can use words, tags, prefixes, or item contents. It syncs across devices and collaborators, works offline, and is available on mobile, desktop, and web. Its free plan includes 10 Panes and one plugin sync account; paid plans start at $5 per month billed annually.

A focused alternative may suit you better if you need an outliner, local-file workflow, or a different approach to device sync. Legend’s free tier caps Panes and plugin sync accounts, and expanding those limits requires a paid plan. The Browser Pane is also unavailable in its mobile app, though saved links still open in a browser. Compare each option’s platform coverage, offline and sync model, data format, task tools, and price with the mix of writing and productivity features you use in Legend.
