Forenota vs spreadsheets and calendar reminders
A spreadsheet holds the list and a calendar pings you. Neither chases anyone else.

When spreadsheets and calendar reminders is the better choice
- You're mostly tracking things yourself, not chasing a team.
- You need custom calculations and analysis.
- Your list is short and rarely changes.
